Travel Destinations Vacation http://actransport.blogdrive.com/archive/15.html Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:41:20 GMT Welcome to Atlantic City! The famous sign on the Atlantic City Expressway has been revamped to match one of the largest on-going city remodeling projects on the east coast. More than just remodeling, Atlantic City, New Jersey, has seen more new construction in the last five to ten years than any city on the eastern seaboard save the Big Apple itself, New York. Long gone is the dingy Atlantic City of the 1980's and 1990's. Today's Atlantic City is a great mix of new and nostalgic. Returning to its first half of the century roots as one of the county's premiere seaside resorts in the country,...

The Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority (ACCVA) has turned the popular Boardwalk Walking Tour into a downloadable podcast for visitors to listen to as they stroll the famous wooden way. A video version is also available for those who prefer to watch from their favorite Boardwalk bench or the comfort of their own home. The podcast, produced by Dynamic Advertising and Design of Galloway Township, is the first in a series of four scheduled to...

If Caesars vice president of marketing Erin Hansen has her way, visitors to Atlantic City will have a "lifestyle," too. "Tony Bennett has played here a long time and he will continue to come, which is wonderful," said Hansen. "But we want to attract people who never came to Atlantic City, people who never thought to come to Caesars before. We're looking for new things all the time." So Caesars created its Lifestyle Series, entertainment...

In otherwords, The World Series of Poker. The WSOP this year is the 39th annual poker tournament of all poker tournaments, and all levels of players are having their daydreams of winning 'the big one'. How big? Well in 2006 the winner, Jamie Gold, out-lasted 8773 other players to win a $12 million prize. Not bad for playing poker. Every year in May, and this year's no exception, the big push gets underway for hopeful players to make it onto the final table....

As of today (Monday, May 5), five of the six major U.S. airlines now charge an extra $25 to check a second bag. The last holdout, American Airlines, will join the club next week, with several other carriers (Alaska Airlines and Air Canada, among them) expected to follow suit in the coming months. To some, it’s an outrage; to others, it’s only fair. Either way, it’s only the beginning. From snacks to seat selection, we’re about to...

(Some airline Web sites allow you a peek at seat availability before you book, which is helpful.) If you don't reserve seats, everyone in your party might be stuck with middle seats in separate rows. Likewise, remember to make sure that your seats are together if you're booking through a travel agent or buying a package that includes airfare. If the seating arrangement isn't what you'd like, reserve the best available situation, then call the airline and inquire about...

We are A&C Transport, car service and airport transportation, have compiled the ones we most often hear expressed. Some might seem good, some bad, but there's always a chance to learn something new. When it comes to traveling it's best to learn something new before you ever leave home.

The move is part of an ongoing gamble by casino operators to polish Atlantic City's image and attract upscale customers who want to do more than just bet money. The project, which will be called MGM Grand Atlantic City, will cost between $4.5 billion and $5 billion, not including the land value and associated expenses, the company said in a statement. It will be built on a 72-acre site at Renaissance Pointe that MGM owns, next to...
