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
