They have complex issues when selecting a city for the National. The venue availability, minimum size venue, union issues, costs, etc,...
They have decreased the number of dealer tables over the last few years to be able to select smaller venues in new cities (ie Boston) in future years, but it appears they've gone back to their rotation of Cleveland and Chicago. And, I don't know what the reason was for choosing Atlantic City.
With all due respect to Glyn (Hi Glyn !!!) and others, I happen to really like Cleveland. For me, it's only a 6 hour drive, driving & parking at the expo center is trivial and I enjoy the downtown area at night.
