Planning first time trip to AC

Post by spxChrome »

I know many people on here have been to AC. We are planning our first trip. We are down between staying at the Borgota or Caesars. This forum had some really great suggestions for our trip to Vegas from many helpful users so I am back here. So, first I wanted to ask what is the best way to fly into AC? Only way I see is to fly into Philly and then rent a car and drive over. Are the other options, such as a shuttle or another airport that I missed? If so any advice on driving from Philly into AC I have heard some parts can be rough and we will be driving in at night?

Also, any other tips or advice for things to do, things to see, places to eat... things not to waste our time doing? I am open for any feedback related to AC.

Thanks

:D Where are you flying in from? If you can fly into AC airport. You can rent a car to the casino. https://www.sjta.com/acairport/car_rent ... 1646714745
You may take a taxi to the casino...... https://actaxi.net/rates
There is no longer AC Jitney service from the airport.
If you fly into Philly. I guess you would have to rent a car.
Ceasars is on the boardwalk. So if you want take a break from gambling or get some fresh air. You can take a walk on the boardwalk. Borgata and Harrah's is out by the bay. If you want to go elsewhere and don't have a car . Jitney or Taxi

If you fly into Philly, you can take the airport line train to 30th st station and pick up the NJT (new Jersey transit) rail line right into AC to the convention center. Once there, you can take the waiting shuttle bus to your casino of choice...FREE.

I live outside Philly. This is a way to go AC . BUT DON'T !!!!!!
My suggestion is " STAY OUT OF PHILLY ! ! ! ! ESPECIALLY 30 STREET STATION. THE CRIME IS BAD. "
REALLY BAD
IF YOU FLY INTO PHILLY ,RENT A CAR! ! ! ! !

I would recommend Borgata over Ceasers , more full pay and safer than boardwalk !!

Is the boardwalk not safe? I would think during the day at least it would but I have never been.

If you rent a car, make sure you run all the red lights (i.e. don't stop). If you do you're likely to get jacked...

Spirit flys into a.c. Airport. Take a cab from there. Borgata over ceasers. You must try I’ll Mulino in the hard rock. Need reservation. Bit expensive but worth it.

What does a cab from AC airport run? It's a good distance from the casinos.
