Entertainment and nightlife
Atlantic City sells itself as the fun nighttime city; but the
nightlife centers on the casinos and Boardwalk amusements.
Once you get bored with slot machines there is little else to do.
Big-name entertainers perform regularly at the casinos, with
tickets in the $30 range - the free weekly Whoot has
listings. The Comedy Stop comedy club at the
Tropicana (tel 609/340-4000) has twice nightly shows, each
costing $18. For cheaper informal fun, good neighborhood
bars include the friendly, dark-paneled Irish Pub ,
164 St James Place (tel 609/345-9613), which serves cheap food and
often has live Irish music, and McGuire's Pittsburgh Café ,
142 S Tennessee Ave (tel 609/345-9607).
