**** ATLANTIC CITY GOSSIP **** Michael Jackson Impersonator A friend of ours was walking down the Boardwalk from the Trump Taj Mahal Memorial Day weekend and she saw a crowd gathering in front of Resorts…loud 80s music, dancers, and a Michael Jackson impersonator. She said it looked like fun and a flashback to old-school Boardwalk entertainment in Atlantic City. What she saw was Resorts Casino Hotel’s free summer attraction “Boogie on the Boardwalk.” Characters from Resorts’ Boogie Nights nightclub interact with boardwalk crowds, hosting dance contests, hula hoop demos, and some crazy stuff like seeing who can be the first to move to guide an Oreo cookie from their forehead to their mouth without moving their hands. Everyone who participated got some sort of prize...but it wasn’t about what they won as it was about having a bit of fun on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. Sure it’s great to hit a jackpot and see a major headliner, but sometimes it just as nice to have a good laugh and sh...

What a trip I had down the shore this past weekend. Once again, I decided on a getaway to Atlantic City – the beach, the Ocean, the history, and the people just captivate me every time I go. Though many times, I have chosen the Trump Taj Mahal (and my good friend Mary Moyer) as my hotel (and guide) of choice, I decided to check out a different hotel – the one that’s actually connected to the Taj and that was Resorts Hotel And Casino. While one of the towers at Resorts is historic, I stayed in the new Rendezvous Hotel Tower. It was spectacular. I had a huge Spacious room, tasteful décor, and three bathrooms along with a living room and mini kitchen. A lot of room for a guy used to a Studio in Times Square. I dined at their coffee shop called Breadtsicks and the food an...
