We were originally going to go to New Orleans for out honeymoon this October, but we just dont have the money to make that happen this year... So, my aunt and uncle have a small place in OC NJ and offered for us to stay there instead. We'd still like something a bit "bigger" and are going to spend half the trip in Atlantic City. Ive never been, and was wondering if anyone here has, and if so, do you know of any unique, romantic, exciting places/things to do there? I know theres tons of casinos and such, but I was just hoping to find a few things that are a bit more unique. Thanks!

I got to AC often. I was actually there on Sunday. It's pretty much a shady run down town with lots of casinos on the boardwalk. I do not recommend venturing off it, with the exception being the outlets, which you should go to in the day time. I'm not gonna lie- it's a pretty bad area. I only walk the boardwalk at night with my husband, I don't do it alone. There are a ton of restaurants, bars, and clubs in the casinos. There is also a light house but I've never been there.

While you are at Caesars you can walk down to the street and visit the outlets for shopping. Each casino offers it's own places for drinking and dancing at night. I would give it more of a chance than some of the ladies did.
Also a little tip if you're going to be driving around from parking deck to parkingdeck. Ask for a reciept when you leave one deck and show it when you leave the next one....parking transfer will be free and will save you the extra $$ of parking in a second place.
As for Atlantic City, it's not awesome... but if you pick a hotel on the boardwalk, then everything you want is within your reach. There's plenty of casinos, hotels, shopping and restaurants. Many well known chefs have restaurants there including Bobby Flay and the restaunteur Steven Starr. It's far more metropolitan than anywhere else down the shore. I would stick to the boardwalk and I have no issue walking it at night. There are pedicabs to get your around if you have to walk far (the boardwalk is BIG) and if you want to go to the Borgata (which is not on the boardwalk), hop in a cab. The outlet shopping is also really nice!
Cape May is nice... a smidge boring for my taste, but nice all the same. There are some excellent restaurants there (The Washington Inn) and the Cape May Winery is there.
Good luck!
