Nestled between the land and sea, Atlantic City’s unique location offers unmatched access to one-third of the nation’s population. Convenient highway access and NJ TRANSIT Rail Service provide direct travel from Philadelphia to the Atlantic City Convention Center, making regional attendance simple and cost effective. Attendees can also fly into Atlantic City International Airport or Philadelphia International Airport, with service from a variety of airlines across key markets for easy regional and national access. Flying into Philadelphia? The American Airlines Landline Bus provides seamless connections to Atlantic City, complete with automatic checked baggage transfers, comfortable seating, and easy travel. Atlantic City’s history is filled with iconic firsts and cultural milestones that shaped both the city and American history. From the nation’s first and longest Boardwalk to Resorts Casino Hotel, the first legal casino outside Nevada, the city has always set the stage for iconic experiences. It’s the birthplace of Saltwater Taffy, the inspiration for the Monopoly board game, home to the nation’s first beach patrol, and the site where the term “airport” was first coined. Historic firsts continue as the city was recently honored with the only Mississippi Freedom Trail Marker outside Mississippi, commemorating its role in the Civil Rights Movement. Today, landmarks like Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall continue to host world-class events while showcasing the Atlantic City Experience, the city’s free museum, and the world’s largest pipe organ.
