JEFF VASSER
PRESIDENT, ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION & VISITORS AUTHORITY
“People think you need a lot of money when visiting the Shore, but there are quite a few free or inexpensive activities: the free beach, strolling the boardwalk and events like the annual Airshow and concerts at Kennedy Plaza.”
JIM RIGOT
GENERAL MANAGER OF HOTEL OPERATIONS, TRUMP PLAZA HOTEL & CASINO
“One of AC’s best-kept secrets is that guests staying at Trump Plaza can rent a beach cabana for two complete with padded lounge chairs, towels and a full adjustable canopy for privacy while you’re soaking up the rays.”
KAREN SHERMAN
PARTNER, TOMATOE’S RESTAURANT
“The best-kept secrets at the Shore are the quality of life, the sense of community and Jagielky’s!”
ERIC MILLSTEIN
VICE PRESIDENT, RED STRIPE PLANE GROUP (WHICH OPERATES DUSK NIGHTCLUB)
“Melalani Café in Ventnor has delicious sandwiches and the best coffee I’ve ever had. I do yoga at the Zen Den in Margate, and the north end of Ocean City has by far the best beaches.”
HARVEY ROVINSKY
OWNER AND PRESIDENT, BERNIE ROBBINS FINE JEWELERS
“The Shoppes at The Water Club are a luxury shopper’s paradise with boutiques including Hugo Boss, La Perla and Hearts On Fire. It’s like having Fifth Avenue at your fingertips.”
VICKI WEISS
SPONSORSHIP/ MARKETING DIRECTOR, THE PIER SHOPS AT CAESARS
“One Atlantic on the fourth floor of the Pier Shops is AC’s premier event and wedding venue. If you need a unique Shore location for an event, this is it.”
DAVE COSKEY
VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING, BORGATA HOTEL CASINO & SPA
“The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor is a great place to learn about the marine ecosystem that’s such a large part of the area where [we] vacation and play.”
JIM HANEY
GENERAL MANAGER, THE PALM
“The best-kept secret at the Jersey Shore is simply the wintertime. Like everyone else, I love the hot summers, but the quiet streets make the sound of the ocean that much more pronounced in the winter.”
