Just an Atlantic City Question, not poker related

[FiveFingerz]

Atlantic city looks great at night all the casinos lit up etc. But boy when the sun comes out ewwwww. With the Borgata now bringing the vegas style casino to AC and the Pinnacle set to open in '09 I think, correct me if I'm wrong. (old sands property) I think the other casinos are going to have to step it up a notch or three.

Dont get me wrong there have been some vast improvements to the area in general i.e. Outlet shopping area by ceasars, the pier that just opened earlier this year with all the shops, French Quarter at the Trop, good eats but pricey. All very nice additions to the city though.

The reason I bring this up is has anyone looked at property values in the city like condos and such, dirt ass cheap. Roll on over to Brigantine which just North over the bridge and its really a nice area up there and the property is fairly priced. i was considering investing in a few properties in the the city and maybe in Brigantine. Plus it would be nice to have a place to stay when all the nice places are booked and you go up on a whim.

Do you think AC is going to step up a notch? or is it short lived? Has anyone else pondered this and do you think it wold be a wise investment?
