Atlantic City: A City of Firsts

From the nation’s first Boardwalk to a long legacy of welcoming visitors, Atlantic City has always led the way in creating standout experiences. That legacy continues today through state-of-the-art venues, convenient transportation, and a compact footprint that keeps attendees close to everything they need. 

Atlantic City’s history is filled with iconic firsts and cultural milestones that shaped both the city and American history. From the nation’s first and longest Boardwalk to Resorts Casino Hotel, the first legal casino outside Nevada, the city has always set the stage for iconic experiences. Today, landmarks like Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall continue to host world-class events while showcasing the Atlantic City Experience, the city’s free museum, and the world’s largest pipe organ.

With over 1.8 million square feet of citywide meeting space, Atlantic City offers flexible venues to accommodate events of all sizes. From the Atlantic City Convention Center to waterfront venues, the destination provides a variety of options that suit any vision. 

Whether you're staying in the Marina District or along the Atlantic City Boardwalk, the city offers over 18,000 rooms across a wide range of accommodations. From nine luxurious and casino resorts to family-friendly hotels, each offers top-tier service, modern amenities, and panoramic views. 

Beyond the meeting rooms, attendees can immerse themselves in Atlantic City’s vibrant neighborhoods, where art, culture, and history come alive. Through the 48 Blocks program, developed by the Atlantic City Arts Foundation, visitors can explore more than 100 murals and historic sites that celebrate the city’s diverse communities.
