Design in Atlantic City

So I made my first trip to Atlantic City. I wasn’t ready to go head first into gambling, so I took some time to check out the sights. Here are a few things I felt were worth sharing…

We stayed at Harrah’s. It’s a little far off of the strip, but probably one of the most impressive hotels in AC

The big thing at Harrah’s is the pool. At night they turn down the lights, bring in the bars, and turn it in to a club.  Here’s a shot as the sun was setting.

Here are some pics of the board walk from one of the piers. You can see Bally’s and The Wild West in the background.

In case you didn’t know this, the board game Monopoly, was based off of the streets in Atlantic City. Along the board walk, there is a marker at each street with the name and a little bit of trivia. Here’s a shout out to NC!

Atlantic City has one of the coolest mall’s I’ve ever been into. It’s connected to Bally’s, and built on top of a pier. As you walk in, there is this awesome fountain with real sand and sea water. All through the mall are these other great seating areas with lounge chairs and beach sand.

At the end of the first floor is this large fountain complete with choreographed light and music show.

The second floor uses blue ceiling lights to give you an “under the sea” kind of feel.

The third floor food court has some great restaurants. Check out the typeface for the Continental Diner!
