Getting there

One of the very nice things about Atlantic City as a site, is the multitude of ways to get to town. For the people in Philadelphia, the train goes into the station across the street from the hotel. In fact, you don't even have to go outside as there is a covered walkway from the station into the hotel. For people coming from NYC, there are buses as well as trains that will bring you right into that same station. In fact, the casinos subsidize the ACES line that goes from NY Penn station or Newark directly to Atlantic city for $29 each way! Other towns along the East Coast also have low cost conventient train options as well.

For our chess friends that would like to fly in, there are flights directly into Atlantic City from Atlanta and Toronto. Other locations are best suited to fly into Philadelphia which is about a 45 minute drive away, or easily accessible by train. If you prefer the low cost of bus travel, Megabus has some very low cost tickets available to Philadelphia, and by low cost, I mean under $10!

Once in Atlantic City, a car is not necessary. The boardwalk is 4 blocks away. Furthermore, you can get to any property in town by using the little blue buses called the Jitney. Cost for taking the Jitney is only $2 per trip.

We really hope that the ease of making the trip attracts a lot of chess players. If you have any questions on travel arrangements, please feel free to drop me a line, and I will be very glad to help if I can.
