Atlantic City Bus Trip

As I've said before, I believe everyone deserves a vacation and there are some vacations that are quite affordable.  I went on an Atlantic City bus trip yesterday.  It was a great way to get away from the computer (yes, I know - amazing!) and have fun.  This is an annual trip sponsored by my apartment building.  I live in Baltimore and it the only cost was $25!  Imagine, an entire day trip from Baltimore to Atlantic City for just $25.

I realize that gambling is not for everyone, but a $20 gambling voucher came along with the trip.  Basically, my goal is to always try to win back what I spent on the trip.  This time, I happened to win $85.  So not only did the trip pay for itself, but I made money.  I also did not spend anything beyond the voucher.  It is important to remember if you go on your own low-budget Atlantic City trip, do not spend beyond the voucher.  If you come out ahead, excellent!  If not, hey, you just got a trip for $25 - enjoy it!  There are plenty of awesome bus trip deals like that in the Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania area, so why not take advantage of one? 

Even if you do not want to gamble, there is plenty of shopping and a nice beach.  You can pack a beach towel and just hang out on the beach all day.  You can also walk along the boardwalk.  You can eat lots of food or even play some games in the arcade.  If you have the opportunity to take a trip to Atlantic City, you totally should do it!

Atlantic City Day Trips

I've been thinking a lot about vacations lately.  Mostly because I think I really need to go on one!  If you are looking for a bargain trip, I would like to recommend Atlantic City.  Now I know what you are thinking.  You think Atlantic City is all about gambling and that is just not true. 

Atlantic City has a beach, an amusement park, an aquarium, arcades, games, an awesome boardwalk, beautiful mall, outlet stores, and so much more!  It is possible to be entertained in Atlantic City for an entire day without ever going in a casino.  So why not take a day trip there? 

Plenty of states that surround New Jersey offer low budget bus tours.  People travel to Atlantic City on day trips often for only $25 to $40 for a round trip.  Part of this is to promote the casinos.  You pay for your bus trip and you usually receive a voucher for about $25 or $30 to spend in the casinos.  Sometimes you will even get a meal voucher.  It is a great deal.  If you don't like to gamble, give the voucher to someone else.  Personally, I usually spend just the voucher and go on my way.  One year, I actually won $200 and never even spent the entire voucher.  Yes, that was a good trip. 

So if you want to go on a day trip and you do not want to spend a lot, you should consider Atlantic City.  If you live in Baltimore, here is a helpful article: http://hubpages.com/hub/Baltimore-to-Atlantic-City-Trip
