NYC to Atlantic City Express Train

The new Pier at Caesar's is now open. Atlantic City's second version of a Las Vegas style entertainment complex. (The 1st is the Quarter at the Tropicana)

On the first floor you'll find fantastic high end retail stores. (Like GUCCI, COACH, Tiffany & Co etc)

On the third level you'll find the Hottest new place to be in Atlantic City. Several excellent restaurants and bars including Buddakan, Continental, Sonsie, Phillips Seafood, The Trinity Irish Pub, Souzai Sushi & Sake and Game On Sports Bar and Nightclub. (Coming soon is Rum Jungle).

Game On has become the Top later night spot, as it turns into a nightclub with a great DJ, Video Screens, Bar Dancers and don't forget to check out the Mechanical Bull riding.

Lastly, I can't leave out the incredible views of the Atlantic City skyline, beach and ocean. Grab a seat in an Adirondack chair and relax.

NYC to Atlantic City Express Train to begin in the Fall of 2007!

Train Service from New York City to Atlantic City is critical to the grow of the city. Atlantic City's casinos, already betting on the enticing effects of fancy shopping and high-end restaurants, will try to woo more customers by offering direct train service to and from New York City. The 2 1/2 hour Atlantic City Express Service will run from Fridays to Sundays between Atlantic City and Penn Station starting late next year. The board of New Jersey Transit approved a three-year trial of the service Monday.

The casinos are going after New York City gamblers who don't have cars, part of a market that falls between high rollers who arrive in limousines and the lower-stakes bettors who take buses. Prices and schedules for the service will be determined over the next year, said George Warrington, NJ Transit's executive director. Atlantic City bound travelers coming from New York by train must now ride the Northeast Corridor line to Trenton, take a local train to Philadelphia and then transfer to the Atlantic City rail line. The new service would not stop in Philadelphia. It would have a limited number of stops, including one or more in New Jersey, which will be determined by the casino industry in consultation with NJ Transit.

Three trains would run on Fridays, eight on Saturdays and seven on Sundays, Warrington said. The new train service is coming at a time when casinos are investing millions in Atlantic City.

Not a bad idea. I know approximately 8 people in NY and only one of them has access to a car.

Nice! What better way to get another great night life area! Any idea what the cost of a ticket round trip would be? It'd be interesting to see if people still fly, though, I highly doubt it.
