Six Signs You're In Atlantic City

by Bodog Casino | Oct 28 2009

We hate to be a Jersey hater, but there are only two reasons to visit: the Sopranos and Atlantic City. And one of those doesn't even really exist!

Everyone likes to take cracks at the state, Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien was recently banned by the Newark, New Jersey mayor for essentially calling them the armpit of the U.S.A. But again, at least there's Atlantic City, the place to go when you're too cheap to get your ass to Las Vegas. But how do you know your spouse or friend has taken you to Atlantic City over Sin City? We'll give you the signs:

Bon Jovi is Playing... Everywhere
Did Jersey create Bon Jovi or did Bon Jovi create Jersey? Either way if you hear "You Give Love a Bad Name" anywhere in a casino, even in elevator music form, get the HELL out of there immediately.c

Her Hair, What's Wrong with Her Hair?
You think big hair died in the 80s? Au contraire, mon frère, it is alive and well in the state of New Jersey. The ladies still use hairspray by the boatloads so if you start to see big, flammable hair around you in a casino, you're either at a Las Vegas Can Can show or you're in Atlantic City.

You Smell the Delicious Combination of Axe Body Spray and Sewage
We don't know why, but apparently New Jerseyites love them some Axe Body Spray. Maybe because it's cheap cologne and deodorant combined? Or the fact that the commercials show that girls become the hot, living dead whenever a guy puts it on. Either way, if you get a strong whiff of "Apollo" or "Tsunami" along with the faint smell of sewage, you're in an Atlantic City casino.

You See "The Donald"... Everywhere
Whether or not most of his casinos are bankrupt Donald Trump still owns Atlantic City. He's got three main buildings that tower over the city: Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza, and the Trump Marina, so when you start to see his cocky mug and that big, ugly head of hair, you're in Atlantic City.

You Start Seeing Italian Stereotypes
The Sopranos wasn't making this stuff up, Italian-American stereotypes exist and they exist in New Jersey. So if you see anyone with the audacity to look anything like "Paulie Walnuts" don't even bother asking the cab driver, you're in Atlantic City.

You Hear "Ohhhh!" on Slot Machine Jackpots
In most places you hear screams of excitements on a jackpot, not in Jersey. Expect to hear the most common words in the Jersey dictionary, "Ohhhh!" If you're looking for a definition for this "exclamation," we really don't have one. Just know that you're playing Atlantic City slots.

Don't have time to head to Atlantic City or Las Vegas? Well Enjoy great casino games at home with Bodog's online casino
