As Atlantic City's gaming revenue continues to fall, gambling continues to grow in Pennsylvania. To thrive once again, A.C. may have to turn itself into a Las Vegas-like destination city. According to Edward H. Spotts, an instructor at Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, says Atlantic City should put more effort into major events like the Atlantic City Airshow, which attracts thousands to the city's boardwalk. Gamblers "just need to be pulled by something for them to make the investment of time…and worth the fuel cost to come to A.C.," he said.
