It's 10 years since i was there but I wouldn't think much of it. Nothing beautiful about the place, few big casinos along the boardwalk of a very narrow beach. If your going for gambling then it'll do the job but there's little else. The Jersey shore is only 3.5/4 hours from NY and is a much nicer area to unwind in, look up Cape May county. Wildwood is like a big version of Tramore and Cape May itself more toned down
Agree with rjr2 ... was there for a conference a few years ago - fairly depressing place I thought - pretty run down apart from some of the casinos .. which themselves aren't anything like Vegas and are mostly full of elderly people putting quarters into slot machines.
I certainly wouldn't go back - plenty nicer places around.
Thanks for the feedback folks. I only have a spare two days and don't want to stray too far from NY. Any nice areas around there (NJ coast sounds too far away) where one could chill easily?
