On episode 154 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz Podcast, Kyle and Craig discuss the best options if you only have two hours to spend in AC. We also look back at 1854 when Atlantic City was incorporated, the first mayor was elected, and the first train made its way to the resort. Then we jump ahead 100 years to the centennial celebration and “Diamond Jubilee of Light,” as well as yet another fire on the Boardwalk.
There wasn’t a ton of news but we did correct some mistakes from last episode and talk about the July gambling revenue while making more mistakes. Check out the relevant links:
- 1854 information is included in this page from the Atlantic City Free Public Library.
- Check out the photorealistic depiction of the Diamond Jubilee of Light, and the commemorative coin that Kyle’s coveting.
- Atlantic City Advantage is live and contains loads of info.
- We once again reference FireEngineering.com, which has the details on the 1954 Steel Pier fire.
- Behold the July gambling revenue data straight from the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement.
