Labor Day weekend is just about here and the summer may be over for some, but for us Atlantic City-area folk the party doesn’t end. I had the pleasure of speaking with Howard Weiss, the regional director of nightlife operations and strategy development at Caesars Entertainment. Caesars Entertainment embodies some of the hippest places to party and dance including the celebrity hot spot, “The Pool After Dark” at Harrah’s Resort and the Foundation Room, which is a chic ultra lounge located inside the Showboat Casino Hotel. According to Weiss, the Pool is different than any of the other venue in town because it has two identities. It’s a pool by day, and a nightclub by night. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both aspects. Daytime at the Pool — especially in the winter months —...

“It was like, ‘Oh my god, we might lost $20,000 or $30,000 on an event.’ Well, you might lose hundreds of millions of dollars if this town just continues to play defense. And we’re trying to play offense. [The city] has already lost a billion dollars it can never get back.”
While many women might share horror stories of their husbands attempting to cook dinner, that will hardly be the case at the ninth annual Men R Cookin’ event. These guys know their way around a kitchen, and will prove it Thursday, Feb. 25, from 6-9pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City (BGCAC). Around 70 men — some professional chefs, others regular joes sharing certain family favorites — will present a wide array of appetizers, entrees and desserts for a $50-per-person fee that includes valet parking. There will also be gourmet coffees, teas and “frothy confections,” and all proceeds will benefit the BGCAC, located at 317 N. Pennsylvania Ave. in A.C. “Everyone does a superb job, and it’s just a good night of community and business members getting together under one room for a really great event,” says BGCAC staff member Vanessa...
Remake the City, Not the Image” was the headline of an editorial in a recent edition of the Asbury Park Press. The following is the editorial, which I believe should be read by the people in our area to see what a major newspaper in the state has to say about Atlantic City: “Atlantic City’s 11 casinos, smarting from their worst year in three decades, want to pour $20 million — a portion of it funded by taxpayers if they have their way — into a major promotional push. Before it changes perception it must change the reality. Atlantic City’s chief draw remains the casinos, largely islands unto themselves in the city with great untapped potential for more, but a...
