Atlantic City Adding More Class To Its City
Move over kitsch; step aside, tackiness. Make a little more room for the newest feature of this resort city: upscale shops and eateries.
A Tiffany & Co. store and a Wolfgang Puck restaurant are arriving this week at high-end Atlantic City developments that are redefining a city once known for sprawling discount buffets and yesteryear's lounge acts.
The emphasis on luxury comes as Atlantic City seeks to buttress its nearly $5 billion gambling industry against increasing competition from Indian casinos and neighboring states, especially Pennsylvania, which is slated to open its first slots parlors later this year.
The first retailers at The Pier at Caesars opened Tuesday. By the end of the year, it's expected to have 90 stores and 10 restaurants.
