‘Green’ Jitneys on the Way By Pinky Kravitz

HE ATLANTIC CITY JITNEY ASSOCIATION (ACJA) is proud to announce that 190 sparkling new green jitneys will begin arriving on the streets of Atlantic City on June 1, at the rate of 65 per week. All of the new jitneys will be in operation by July 1. It is important to note that this fleet will be powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). Although commonplace on the West Coast, the concept of CNG-powered vehicles is relatively new to the East and to New Jersey. The ACJA has partnered with the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) to fuel these vehicles; the ACJA will also be building a pumping facility that can be used not only by its fleet, but also by other municipalities and businesses that wish to invest in this green technology. The new vehicles will cost $54,000 each, and half of that sum will be paid by the drivers over a seven-year period. The other half of the funds necessary for the purchase of the new jitneys was a part of a federal stimulus grant that was given to transit authorities in various states to provide money to aid and assist private carriers. To coincide with the rollout of CNG and the new fleet, the ACJA is reevaluating its business model for the future. Tom Woodruff, the new president of the ACJA, has contacted Richard Stockton College to see if it might have an interest in using the ACJA as a case study for its marketing students. Stockton found this to be an interesting idea and has agreed to work with Woodruff on this project. This is unique in that it gives local students an opportunity to have a real-life experience and to possibly see the fruits of their labor be applied and recognized as a part of Atlantic City’s future. It also allows the ACJA to get a different business perspective from some of their future business leaders. Woodruff stated the ACJA needs to look internally as to how it operates. Plans going forward will involve a change to its business culture with an emphasis on customer service. All jitney drivers will have green uniforms, collared shirts for the spring-time and jackets for the colder weather. As you may know, the ACJA is comprised of many different ethnic cultures, and plans are in place to instill the idea that its members are more than just drivers, but front-line ambassadors to many of the people who visit our city. Jitneys are an Atlantic City icon and we need to capitalize on that experience. Rules and regulations that have been set by the ACJA will be enforced to provide the best service possible for the riding public.

At the recent Atlantic City Boardwalk Committee meeting, a representative of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) reported that the demolition of the post office building at Pacific Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard will begin in April. The CRDA will landscape the vacant area that will be left after the demolition of the land they control, up to the portion of the block that is owned by Pinnacle Entertainment. There has been no word as to whether Pinnacle will landscape the final portion of that block. It was further noted during that meeting that the widenJoin us on Facebook:

ing of Mississippi Avenue, from Atlantic to Arctic avenues, will be developed by the South Jersey Transportation Authority. It is anticipated work will begin by April. The CRDA is currently working on a facade program for Virginia Avenue between Atlantic and Pacific avenues. Work on the Boardwalk street ends at Texas and New York avenues will be completed in time for the summer season. When completed, there will be an area for the eateries adjacent to the street ends to have space for tables for their clientele. A major overhaul of the New Jersey National Guard Armory, at New York Avenue and the White Horse Pike, will be funded by the CRDA, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The work to be done begins with the replacing of the current flooring that is sinking, the replacement of the HVAC ventilation system, electrical work for overhead power, and site work including landscaping and paving. The facility, which will continue to be used by the National Guard, will be turned into a sports complex that will encompass an indoor track, a soccer field, basketball and volleyball courts that will be intermingled along with rooms for varied additional activities. This is a major undertaking and it’s a credit to the agencies involved to provide for the usage of this facility by the residents and visitors to Atlantic City. The project should be completed by the end of 2010. A representative of the Special Improvement District noted that the Boardwalk Visitors Center at Park Place had over 200,000 requests for information. However, they also noted that their count of the number of people walking on the Boardwalk had been reduced by over 200,000 from the previous year. One bright spot has been The Walk, which averages over 20,000 visitors a day walking through its shops. Concern was raised about the operation of the rolling chairs on the Boardwalk. There was a lack of inspectors doing their job in making sure that the operators are abiding by the ordinances that control their operation. This is being looked into by city officials and, hopefully, will be corrected. Concern was also raised relative to the continued negative reaction that the biggest attraction Atlantic City has — its beaches — continues to be hidden by those walking the boards. At a time when Atlantic City needs to boast of its attractions, one of which is that it is the only city with casinos alongside its oceanfront, comes the concern that those strolling on the Boardwalk cannot see either the beach or the ocean. Hopefully, with a new state administration and a new commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection, changes will be considered. n

Chelsea Hosts Winter Jazz Series

The local non-profit Historical Chicken Bone Beach Foundation (HCBBF) augments its successful summer jazz series with a winter series at The Chelsea in Atlantic City, dubbed “The Jazz Corner.” The events will take place every remaining Thursday night in January and February, beginning at 9pm. There will be a $10 “donation” and the music will feature everything from a tribute to Sonny Rollins (Jan. 21) to spoken-word artists and Latin jazz (Feb. 4). The HCBBF will present the series in conjunction with the Malkio Entertainment Group; the series will be held at the Chelsea’s 5th Floor club through Feb. 25. According to Henrietta Shelton, head of the HCBBF, each evening will have live jazz and spoken-word artists alternating with a midnight jam session “open to all” till 1am. The Foundation runs a very popular free jazz concert series in the Boardwalk each summer, which has brought international legends such as Houston Person, Greg Osby and many others to the Boardwalk stage (now at Kennedy Plaza) for a decade. Despite funding problems for the summer series through the years, Shelton has been excited about a winter series for a while now and had been in talks with different area venues to host the series. “The Chelsea was the [right] place,” says Shelton.

Classic Dean

Margate’s Jewish Community Center, which regularly presents special “Dinner and a movie nights,” has found out a simple fact about its audiences. They want the classics. So that’s just what they’ll get Tuesday, Jan. 26, when they present the 1955 film East of Eden. “For the last few months we’ve been featuring James Dean,” says Josh Cutler, who heads the program aimed mostly at seniors (though the JCC prefers the term “active adults”). “What we’ve found is that our audience likes to see classic films. These are films that you can’t really see on the big screen anymore and they are very hard to find anywhere. For many of the people that come, they enjoy the delicious dinner and really feel a lot of nostalgia for these old films.” A couple of year’s ago the JCC did try showing current films, but seniors at the center pushed for older films. “They knew they were great films and everything, but they had just been in the theaters,” Cutler says. “They’d rather see these films they remember.” Any classic movie fan, however, would enjoy the chance to see the film on a large screen. Based on ohn Steinbeck’s novel, East of Eden earned Dean a posthumous Best Actor nomination. Tickets are $15. Call 822-1167 ext. 113 to register. — Mike Pritchard

Ultra-modern and retro-chic dance clubs, world-renowned DJs and top-flight live entertainment — whatever your pleasure, A.C. can deliver. By Ray Schweibert

HERE’S BEEN PLENTY OF TALK about Atlantic City’s need to “reinvent itself” in the wake of a slumped economy and gaming competition elsewhere. That contention could almost come across as insulting to A.C. where nightlife applies, as the city has always provided an ever-evolving inventory of exciting after-dark alternatives for a diversity of ages and tastes. Long before the lever on the first legalized slot machine was pulled in 1978, Atlantic City has been likened to a microcosm of the cutting-edge activity offered in cities several times its size. To paraphrase a line from a popular 1978 disco hit, if you love the nightlife and got to boogie, A.C. has what you’re looking for. Below is a rundown of some of the options available to late-night revelers in the city that’s always turned on.

have evolved from mere music lovers who moonlight for extra cash into major celebrities in some cases. The skill involved in mixing music tracks and video graphics with today’s high technology makes many of them sought-after talents in their own right. All of Atlantic City’s hottest nightclubs either have big-name “turntablists” on their staff, such as Jesse Marco and DJ Royale at Dusk, the Casbah’s Paulie Day and Jordan Williams, Boogie Nights’ KevinEdge, the Wave’s Jim Stritch, Providence’s Redline, DJs Jason E and Gabor Kiss at The Pool and many others.

Bottle Service

The lowdown — Bottle service started as a

means for nightclubs to more easilly deal with massive crowds in big cities like New York and Las Vegas. Rather than purchasing individual drinks, patrons could buy an entire bottle of spirits in designated seating areas, and each bottle would be delivered with glasses, ice, mixers and all the garnishes. Despite its costliness, bottle service in Atlantic City has exploded in popularity and continues to grow. Some of the places that offer it include 32 Degrees Luxe Lounge (348-6700) and Providence nightclub (345-7800) in The Quarter at Tropicana; Mixx and mur.mur nightclubs at Borgata (317-1000); The Pool (441-5165) and its newest component The Loft at Harrah’s; Club Worship (800-5224700) at Showboat; the Casbah (449-5138) nightclub at Trump Taj Mahal; Dusk nightclub (441-5165) at Caesars. Game On! (345-6800) at The Pier Shops at Caesars and the 40/40 Club (449-4040) next to A.C. Outlets - The Walk.

VIP Service

The lowdown — Often A.C.’s premier nightclubs have long lines and hefty cover charges on weekends (particularly if there’s a celebrity guest or DJ), but there are services provided, or tricks to the trade, that can help ease the burden groups or individuals, and/or increase the bang for your buck. A company called VIP in Atlantic City (816-3165 or vipinatlanticcity.com) bills itself as a private concierge service that plans daylong or weekend-long nightlife trips to

A.C. Sometimes, says owner Tony Penza, getting onto a nightclub guest list and receiving VIP treatment (preferred seating, no waiting lines, no cover charge) is as simple as knowing the right people. “Some of the guest lists can be had by befriending local clubs on Facebook, Twitter or joining their mailing lists,” says Penza. “Borgata’s ‘mur.mur Monday’ allows free entry with a receipt from dining at Izakaya beforehand. Getting to know the club DJs is another good way to get yourself onto a guest list.” If an entire night or weekend in A.C. were being sought, that’s where the concierge service would come in. “We take care of everything, start to finish — their transportation into and out of A.C., casino hotel rooms and suites, limo service, fixed-menu dinners with or without open bars during dinner, entertainment like male reviews, strip clubs, private entertainment and, of course, their nightlife experiences.” Generally a member of the service acts as a host once all the details are finalized, and handles all the logistics. “This gives groups coming to town a stress-free night, since all they have to do is show up and enjoy.” Companies that are more venue-specific with the packages they provide offer similar services. Among them are the team of Chris Bonanni, Shawn Morton and Tova Ioannucci at Next Level A.C. (3770897 or nextlevelac.com), Steve Sagan of 1Source (334-9037 or 1sourcenj.com), Brett Perloff of Perl Media (facebook. com/perlmedia), Denis Sinelnikov of Wildin’ Out (wildinout.com), and Alec Krayzel of AK Promotions (215-6948584 or twitter.com/AKPROMOS).

Friday & Saturday Night JANUARY 29 & 30

LOT OF BAD BEAT JACKPOT money was flying out of Atlantic City’s poker rooms last weekend, with the biggest payoff coming Friday (Jan. 15) at Caesars. Steve Nedney. 56, of Dover, Del., hit an Atlantic City record jackpot of $553,948 when his hand of four 3s was beaten by four aces on the river. Nedney received $276,979, half of the progressive jackpot. Not bad considering that the pot he lost was only worth about $400. Chris Dobrzanski, 23, of Bridgewater, took home $138,489 as the winner of the hand (25 percent), which in bad beat jackpots actually comes in second. The remaining players at the table split $19,784 a piece of the remaining 25 percent. A major bad beat jackpot of more than $350,000 was also hit at Harrah’s over the weekend. Bad beat payouts occur in Texas Hold’em cash games when a very high hand (usually four of a kind, but rules vary per room) is beaten by a higher hand. The jackpot is divided among all the player’s at the table at the time. At the Taj Mahal, the Ray Kot Poker Open Tournament is underway and runs through Sunday. This is an industry wide event open to casino employees with the competitors trying to win prizes, including a top prize of two tickets to the “Big Game” Feb. 7 in Miami, Fla. Proceeds benefit the Ray Kot Memorial Fund. Kot, a longtime and beloved employee of the casino, was shot and killed by a patron at the casino last year. Also underway is The Borgata Winter Open, which runs through Feb. 5 with a $2 million guaranteed championship event taking place Jan. 31 through Feb. 5. The championship event carries a $3,500 buy-in. In the opening week, no limit tournaments are scheduled pretty much daily with a few pot limit Omaha tournaments also available. Saturday’s (Jan. 23) No Limit Hold’em tournament carries a $1,000 (+$90) buy-in. A ladies No Limit Hold’em tournament is scheduled for Sunday Jan. 24 ($260 + $40) and a seniors tournament is set for Tuesday Jan. 26 ($350 + $50). For a schedule got to theborgata.com.

business — music, acting, modeling. Are you having any opening specials? For an opening special, we are providing our customers with a low $50 an hour session. Also if you buy four hours you get the fifth free.

How involved are you in the music business? I’ve been in the entertainment industry since I was about 16 years old. I’ve done modeling, acting, and been developing my own music career as well. I’ve done things from MTV to smaller networks. I’m still on the hustle today! Joe is also in the industry; his most recent gig is with a new cutting-edge television pilot called Westchester. Musically, J-Bono has performed from the Atlantic City casinos in South Jersey to the clubs in Philly and New York.

When someone makes an appointment to record in the studio how long does a typical session last? We do a session per hour. So [it depends] on how many hours the artist chooses. If they are interested in making a demo it could be a few hours. Do you have any advice for aspiring singers or resources you would like to share? Yes, of course, I have tons! One of our major goals is to accommodate our local artists who have dreams of making it. Nothing is impossible. ... Come in and we’ll chat.

Can you explain what type of services you offer? Check out the studio’s Web site at The services that we are offering exceed lafamigliastudio.com or stop in to visit at the services that the average studio can 559 Tilton Rd., Northfield. n provide.

What is the benefit of someone recording in your studio? Not only is La Famiglia one of the only studios around this area, but we offer such a wide variety of products that are beneficial to all artists or bands. Our recording booth is designed to fit and record a live band. Or they can just rent the space to rehearse. We also just built a new vocal booth that is made with state-of-the-art soundproofing material. Another thing about us is if an artist is serious about doing it as a career, we will help push their music.

O YOU EVER DREAM OF BEING a singer? Do you go to shows in Atlantic City and wish that it was you on stage performing? Do you have a passion for music? Do you wish there was a local place you could go to record your songs? Well, for those of you who have a passion for music and are gifted enough to express your talents, there are very few local outlets that will allow you to get your creative juices flowing. However, I was very excited to find out that there is a new recording studio, La Famiglia Studio, which just opened on Tilton Road in Northfield. The studio is owned by Anna Casciole (aka Anina) and Joe Bonofiglia (aka J-Bono). They chose their studio name because they want you to have the “family vibe” when you walk in. I had the pleasure of speaking with Casciole recently.

people in their 20s and early 30s who want a taste of the retro nightclub experience. “One of the things I love about Boogie Nights is that you can walk in there and see a 25-year-old dancing next to a 55-yearold, and you don’t see that in the younger clubs,” says Kathleen McSweeney, Resorts’ senior vice president of marketing. “That’s because of the music. There’s no better dance music than from that era.” The Boogie Nights theme carries out of the club and has spread to the casino floor, McSweeney says. Last year, the casino introduced a small number of Boogie Nights-themed retro slot machines that actually accepted coins, something Atlantic City hasn’t seen in years. Resorts will soon be offering $2 and $5 “retro blackjack” games, she explains. Two-dollar tables disappeared from the casinos years ago, and $5 tables are nearly extinct as well. Even the music that’s programmed in Boogie Nights, where Thursday’s (Jan. 21) Atlantic City Weekly “Nightlife Awards” will be handed out, is pumped into the casino. The retro theme even extends beyond the walls of the building itself. One area party store sells the wigs and costumes some people wear to the club to round out their throwback experience. “It’s become a very definite niche for the property,” McSweeney says. Not bad for a concept that was launched Thanksgiving weekend 2007 strictly as an experiment. The casino tried the retro club out as a special event limited to holiday weekends. But within several months, the club was operating every Saturday night and then expanded to include Fridays. In addition to its regular guests — many of them locals — the club has also become a popular place for bachelorette and birthday parties and high school reunions for graduating classes from the era. The club also offers other celebration packages “It’s been an amazing addition to our property,” McSweeney says. “There’s just an unbelievable energy in the room.” See more at resortsac.com. n

T’S GOT ALL THE ELEMENTS YOU’D expect from one of Atlantic City’s hottest nightclubs: the loud and pulsating rhythms of popular songs, a swirling light show and, perhaps the most essential ingredient, a frenetic and sweaty energy that never quits. But long about the time the hip and trendy clubs in town are just getting cranked up for the evening — say around midnight — the crowd at Resorts Atlantic City has already been partying hearty for several hours. Welcome to Boogie Nights, the über-successful retro dance club that, almost ironically, is packing them in every weekend with the same music that was heard in the casino’s former disco when Atlantic City’s first gaming hall opened more than three decades ago. “We’ve definitely filled a void in the market in a big way,” says Boogie Nights creator Dave Pena, a nightclub operator who pitched the idea to Resorts more than two years ago. “Boogie Nights was the missing piece of the puzzle in Atlantic City nightlife,” he adds. “We throw one hell of a party.” Pena, who came to Atlantic City five years ago to open the Planet Rose karaoke lounge at the Tropicana, says sensory bombardment is one of the keys to the success of the club, which occupies the space that once contained Camelot, Resorts’ original steakhouse. In addition to the lights, non-stop music and tiny bubbles cascading from a twostory ceiling onto the lighted platform dance floor, the room has costumed characters making the rounds, like Michael Jackson and Madonna look-alikes. The staff is dressed in period costumes — polyester leisure suits, platform shoes, big hair, bartenders sporting Afro wigs and a young woman in hot pants zipping around on skates who calls herself Roller Girl (but whose family, friends and 1996 Mainland Regional High School classmates know as Helene Vaspoli). While the music is playing and people are dancing shoulder-to-shoulder, video walls are displaying TV shows and commercials from the era. “We’re active, we’re animated, we’re in your face, we engage our guests,” Pena, 38, explains. “We bring the party to you.” There’s no denying the club is geared toward an older crowd; the 20-somethings who came to Resorts in 1978 are now pushing 60. Yet Boogie Nights also attracts

FOOD & DRINK

Late-Night Eats

There are plenty of places to grab a bite after a night of partying By Frank Gabriel

Sushi Tomatoe’s style from which to select. Next on our list is the Tun Tavern, our area’s first and only microbrewery/ restaurant. An original anchor tenant of the Sheraton Hotel’s Convention Center complex, founder Montgomery Dahm’s patriotic tribute to his Marine Corps heritage serves as a sort of unofficial goodwill ambassador welcoming many visitors during their initial trip here.

OR A CITY THAT IS LITERALLY open around the clock, food becomes the final, essential element of the late/all-night scene. This week, we cast our beacon on a few of those places offering quality eats well into those wee hours of the morning. The intersection of Atlantic City’s South Carolina and Pacific avenues seems an ideal place to start. Not only is this nearly the geographic center of town, easily accessible from most casinos, it’s also the home of the Atlantic City Bar and Grill. The facility, which began as a small pizzeria more than two decades past, has grown into a full service restaurant plus a second floor luxury lounge, Level II, available for private parties and corporate events. A quick glance at the walls in the main dining area, lined with pics of A-list celebs like actor George Clooney enjoying the victuals, confirms that this is the premier spot to get your post-party, hangover-combating grub on. Twenty hi-def televisions continuously beaming in sports from around the globe help create an atmosphere where — like most casinos in town — clocks simply cease to exist, or even matter. Open until 5am, when you really should be going home anyway, the menu offers all the standard deep-fried delights that a good pub-crawler could require. Don’t think that’s all, though; the bill of fare here includes an extensive array of seafood — most notably some of the region’s most inexpensive whole lobsters and king crabs — plus steaks and ribs

Food becomes the final, essential element of the late/all-night scene. Food at the Tun has always been excellent, with a diverse menu that offers hearty casual fare plus a surprising amount of thoughtful, more upscale culinary creations. But the real star is, and always has been, the beer. A cool floor-to-ceiling Plexiglas partition is all that separates the massive brewing tanks from customers at the classy bar. With more than a half-dozen options available, brew masters at the Tun are always creating some unique seasonal draughts. The best part: The Tun’s kitchen regularly utilizes these incredibly fresh products in the makings of their cuisine, like the ale honey dipping sauce which accompanies a couple of appetizers.

Among our favorite casino nightowl spots is Bally’s Noodle Village. Situated near the Baccarat Palace Asian gaming area, this place is a real sensory treat. The aromas of sizzling grilled items combine with fragrant, steaming pots of freshly made noodles waft enticingly across the busy casino floor. As you approach, the visual aspect takes over, skillful cooks working speedily in an open-air theater kitchen, under the watchful gaze of hungry customers. The cuisine, both Chinese and Vietnamese in origin, provides a solid, substantial stomach-filling experience that’s a splendid antidote for excessive revelry. Moving down the coast a bit south, a

pair of places near Margate’s back bay are notable for late evening dining. The first, Tomatoe’s, in addition to being one of the region’s very best overall restaurants, offers a Rock and Roll Sushi special in bar area on Monday and Wednesday nights from 9pm to midnight. Despite reduced prices, the fish and seafood — like pretty much everything else on their menu — is of the highest quality imaginable. We’d suggest that you sample either the Calvin, tuna, crab and avocado topped with spicy lobster, or the Karen rolls, featuring shrimp tempura, spicy tuna and cucumber, topped by shrimp, avocado and a honey sauce. A few steps down Amherst Avenue, the final remaining bastion of Margate’s glorious Barbary Coast past, Maynard’s Café continues to turn out classic pub and tavern food. Owned for nearly four decades by local luminary Al Troiano, who expanded the place to include a separate outdoor patio area next door, Maynard’s continues to thrive since his passing in 2003. We recommend the Maynard Burger, with one of our most unique, quintessentially Jersey shore ingredients — pork roll — or the Pizza burger fly boy, loaded with bacon, cheese, mushrooms and onions. And if you happen to find yourself up past sunrise some weekend, Maynard’s even offers a Sunday steak and eggs breakfast starting at 8am. More options: The Taj Mahal’s Plate American Cafe, Tony’s Baltimore Grill, the Borgata’s Izakaya, Ducktown Tavern (all in Atlantic City) and the Point Diner in Somers Point. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com see more online @

Club Hopping? Think Again.

Atlantic City’s nightlife grew steadily for the last decade making it easy to find your personal hot spot By Michael Pritchard

HEN ATLANTIC CITY RANG in the new millennium in 2000, partiers looking for some action in the resort faced a little bit of a challenge — kind of a nightlife scavenger hunt. They knew there were parties going on. The question was where? Dave Geiger, one of the owners of Atlantic Limousine, usually had to put his drivers on that hunt. “Before, when people got a limo, they’d book it for the whole night and drive around,” he says. “You know, ‘Let’s see what’s happening here. OK, now let’s see what’s happening there.’”

all over again?” This wholesale change in the city’s club life can be traced to a pretty simple beginning — the opening of the Borgata in 2003. “It really all comes back to the Borgata,” says Geiger of Atlantic Limousine. “Once that opened everything began to change. The Quarter at Tropicana

‘Before, most people just came here, gambled, then sat at a casino bar & had a drink. That’s all different now.’

Ten years later, that’s gone. Atlantic City is filled with go-to party spots and nobody has to look hard for nightlife. “When they come now, they know exactly where they are going,” Geiger says. “You drop them off at a specific club or at The Quarter or The Pier [Shops at Caesars] and then you pick them up six hours later. Nobody has to look for a place to go anymore.” In the last decade, Atlantic City has seen an explosion of nightclubs with names such as MIXX, Providence, mur.mur, the 40/40 club, Boogie Nights and dusk, just to name a few. Now for a party planner like Tony Penza of VIP in Atlantic City, the job isn’t finding a club, it’s putting his patrons in the club they want. “I would agree that people coming into town know where they want to go now,” he says. “I really don’t see much club hopping going on. They really don’t want to waste time moving around, even though everything is open until six in the morning. It’s [like] why restart your night

Then came The Quarter [at Tropicana] and then the nightclubs. Before these places went in, most people just came here, gambled, then sat at a casino bar and had a drink. That’s all different now.” Penza notes that while the city did have a few nightclubs before the Borgata, the opening of the casino began seriously changing the way the city parties. “When I started, you really only had Déjà Vu and Casbah [which is still going strong at the Trump Taj Mahal],” he says. “Then came the Borgata and it was huge and it was the first great reinvention of the city’s nightlife. They brought in new architecture and new things like bottle service and it really took off.” Closely on the heels of the Borgata (home of the clubs MIXX and mur. mur) came The Quarter, which opened in 2004. Tropicana’s indoor party center came with restaurants, shops, lounges

and nightclubs. It was a complete party package, which proved especially popular with area locals, who aren’t always easily enticed into the city. “The Quarter is a big player because it was the first of the one-stop shops,” Penza says. “Everything you wanted was indoors and in one place. Eventually The Pier got into that area as well, but The Quarter was first.” For nightclubs, The Quarter is the home of Providence, which just received a nice national shout-out when the cast of MTV’s controversial Jersey Shore partied there in a recent episode. Other hot spots are the karaoke bar Planet Rose, the Comedy Stop comedy club, Red Square, the Missile Bar ... look, it’s filled with hot spots. In 2006, Harrah’s Resort added to the growth when it completed a $550 million waterfront expansion, which included The Pool, a multifunctional indoor pool area,

which also served as a hot nightspot. Again the facility proved a big draw, especially for area college students, and has made a name for itself nationwide with its celebrity hosted weekend parties. The Pool has just undergone expansion adding The Loft and an outdoor deck area, which should only add to its summer popularity. Another big player in the city’s nightlife has been The Pier Shops at Caesars, which also opened in 2006. The shops added to an already growing restaurant scene as well as bringing in Game On! sports bar and the Trinity Irish Pub. With Caesars adding the nightclub dusk to the scene, the city received another inclusive nightlife destination. The newest player is The Chelsea, a noncasino hotel that has been cultivating its own club scene at its 5th Floor clubs since it opened in 2008. Another development over the last decade has been the success of beach bars. Though there has been some fighting with state environmental officials over their placement, three beach bars have survived and thrived at Trump Plaza, The Hilton and Bally’s. In the height of the summer, even the beach has become a nightlife spot. Of course not all of the city’s nightlife spots are new, and some venerable city taverns are still thriving off Atlantic City’s most stable customer base — all the people who work at the casinos, clubs and bars. “Where places like the Ducktown Tavern and the Chelsea Pub thrive is with the employees.” Penza says. “They offer food 24 hours a day and people who work in the industry need some place to go and relax too. That’s why they are always packed at 4am.” And after a decade of expansion, you can say that of Atlantic City’s nightlife as well. It’s packed all night long. ■

Road Warrior Roaming the scorched earth in ‘Eli’ By Lori Hoffman

NCE, JUST ONCE, I’D LIKE TO see a post-apocalyptic movie that doesn’t assume that humanity would revert to its worst behavior, but instead would survive with its best attributes leading the way back to civilization. Perhaps that is asking for too much. Once the bombs have been dropped and savaged the land, it is asking a lot for the desperate survivors to band together in the spirit of good will for all rather than me first. Denzel Washington stars in The Book of Eli, a post-a drama directed by Albert and Allen Hughes (From Hell, Menace II Society) that brings the religious allegory to the forefront rather than its usual place lurking in the background. Washington plays the titled character, one of the rare survivors old enough to remember what the world The Book of Eli ★★★★ Directed by Allen & Albert Hughes; rated R

Along the way highwaymen have tried to kill him and he has endured because despite his age, he has some serious kung fu and blade skills. These action scenes are about the only moments that pump up the volume in a movie that is exceedingly light on character development. Gary Oldman shows up as a villain named Carnegie who runs a town and wants what Eli is trying to protect. You will figure out soon enough that the object of his desire is the Bible. He feels the Bible and its words will allow him to convert more people to his side, a premise that doesn’t get much traction in the weakly designed screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film does have an intriguing twist ending that some might find makes it worthwhile sitting through the doom, gloom and bloodshed. I’m still on the fence about that since in my book that twist is also a bit of a cheat. Washington, the only actor given a sufficient platform to create a performance, provides a solid one as a man who knows who he is and what he is fighting for. Beyond a funny cameo by Michael Gambon, he
