I am linking up my travels with
Scenic Sunday
Last Sunday and Monday hubby and I enjoyed an overnight at the Showboat Hotel and Casino. They offer great deals for their hotel rooms on the internet for Sundays- Thursdays. We had a room on the 20th floor with a slight view of the ocean and a great view looking toward the sunset and the bayside.
This was the part of the view from our room. The first evening it was a little foggy. Dinner was at the House of Blues restaurant. Nothing fancy I had a great salad and pizza and hubby had the ribs.
We also had a view of the wind farm , which is located on the bayside. Across from the wind farm is the Edwin Forsythe NWR.
We were out on the boardwalk early in the morning this is the Showboat Casino and the new casino-hotel called the Revel. We had a great breakfast at the Johnny Rockets restaurant in the Showboat. I enjoyed the little view we had of the beach and ocean while we were eating our breakfast.
Above is a view of the boardwalk and casinos it includes the Taj Mahal towers and the Showboat.
This is Trump's Taj Mahal Hotels and casino. The Taj Mahal hotel has two towers. I really like the design of Trump's hotel& casino, but we were very happy with our room at the Showboat.
We were up early to watch the sunrise on Atlantic City's famous beach.
The new hotel-casino called the Revel has a ball on the top which turned colors in the shot above the ball is green. It reminded me of a large golf ball?
While we were there on the beach watching the sunrise the ball turned green, blue and red. It would be cool to stay a night in this beautiful new hotel. It seems to be the tallest hotel/casino in Atlantic City.
Before we checked out of the Showboat, I got some more shots of Atlantic City's skyline and beach.
Another view from the Showboat was the lighthouse on the bayside.
Thanks for stopping by my post.

ReplyDeleteThat looks a nice city to visit. I never realised it was on the coast. I love your early morning shots of the sunrise and of the buildings with their lights on.

What a great weekend beach visit. The sunrise is superb and looks like you had the beach to yourselves.
ReplyDeleteThe wind turbines seem like a conflict so near to a wildlife refuge.
Wow, Atlantic City sure has changed since I was there in 1969. I was a 21-year-old college student and had a summer job as a maid in the Empress Motel. It's probably not even there any more. There weren't any casinos there in 1969. I also had an evening job working at Woolworth's, but that's probably long gone, too. I recall seeing the parade of convertibles with the Miss America contestants sitting up on the back seats as they rode along the boardwalk. The shot of the sunrise is really lovely! The new casinos are quite impressive-looking.
ReplyDeleteNice shots.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Wonderful sunrise captures Eileen. Good to hear you were able to snap up a "getaway" bargain at the hotel. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletenext time you come, call in Donald Trump's. I am the latest apprentice.
ReplyDeleteEileen, if I were honest being able to travel the world would be the only thing on my "Bucket List" that I wish would come true.
ReplyDeleteBut, till then I get my travel jollies from fantastic blogs like yours and all the wonderful photos you post.
Thanks, for being my travel guide.
Eileen, I love the fact that we are both posting about the coast. Only two very different worlds. One protected from development and then this fabulous array of photos showing high rise buildings and the sun rise! Each have their own pull. I truly enjoyed seeing a part of the world I have yet to know. Looking towards the rising sun you would think we might be in a similar place. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI like the modest architecture near the beach. Beautiful sun rise.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots and lovely post:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
