But what if you don’t want to gamble? That’s easy. Simply cash out your coin voucher, and put the $20 you paid for bus fare right back into your pocket.
But What is There to Do in Atlantic City?

The Pier Shops at Caesars recently opened this year, and they have a wide variety of upscale shops. Inside, there is also a beautiful “water show where the fountains are coordinated with music and lights. The end result is stunning, and you can easily spend a leisurely twenty minutes enjoying this sight.
Remember the Boardwalk from Monopoly?
Well, it turns out there really is a boardwalk in Atlantic City, just like in the game Monopoly. You can walk the boardwalk for an hour or two and browse through the boardwalk shops or stop to enjoy some world-famous saltwater taffy or macaroons along the way.
It’s Spa Time
If you do want to splurge on yourself, then schedule a massage or facial at the spa, rather than have your money be devoured by noisy machines with blinking lights. There are at least a dozen spa options to choose from in any of the numerous casino spas, so pick a service that appeals to you, and sit back and relax.
Whether You Gamble or Don't Gamble, Atlantic City is a great place to visit and you can travel there for free if you know the ropes. Look for bus specials like the one we mentioned above and make sure you let us know how your trip went!
