Although Alantic City is a rather popular weekend destination, it's no paradise. Word of advice, never leave the casinos or the boardwalk and you may fool yourself on where you are. Perhaps following through on these projects may achieve higher tourism rates in the city, which will give more jobs to the locals. Despite the wealth of the casinos in the city, the towns and locals around them are not as fair off. The casinos are the first go-to when it come to saving the community. However, over the past few decades there seems to bee little change in its image and locals. It's an idealist idea that more casino projects will "spruce up the community" but I doubt it will, or if that even if is the purpose of the projects.
