Atlantic City is probably the most well known city along the Jersey Shore and its popularity started in the mid 30s and 40s as casinos started to roll in, the boardwalk was the place to be seen and the Miss America Pageant became a pop culture phenomena. But as the decades went on, the appeal of Atlantic City has changed and certainly its reputation as a trendy or LGBT destination is up for debate. However, in recent years, several new developments have taken place in hopes of reinvigorating the city and attracting new guests from around the region.
