National recommendations - AC

I live in northern Virginia and plan to hit the show for at least a day. Will, I be able to park at the convention center or miles away? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If you have a players card for ballys you can park In their garage and walk over, prob a mile or so, maybe less, it’s a easy walk.

This site gives you all of the rates:

I am not staying in town. It is much cheaper for me to stay in NJ near the Delaware Memorial Bridge and drive the hour or so. I am a Hilton Honors gold member so I stay loyal to them. May reach diamond this year. This is where I will be parking:

The Wave Garage
2200 Fairmount Ave
Atlantic City, NJ 08401

Mon-Fri - All day
1 Hour$5.00
8 Hours$8.00
24 Hours$12.00

Sat-Sun - All day
1 Hour$5.00
3 Hours$10.00
8 Hours$12.00
24 Hours$15.00

It is about 2½ blocks from the convention center. If you come in on the Atlantic City Expressway you can take a right onto Fairmont at the end of the x-way and it is the second building on the left before you reach Mississippi Ave. White House Subs is in the same block as this parking garage down on Mississippi.

Thanks for the parking information! Can I safely assume that beach traffic to AC on a weekend is horrific and to expect long delays?

No sure what direction you are coming from … if you are driving south from new york city or nothern jersey the answer is a resounding yes. unless you are driving down in the evening.

I don't get the feeling that hoards of people are flocking to the beach on AC, but always some casino traffic.

I reckon from Northern Virginia you’ll be taking the Beltway up to the BW Parkway . Then you’ll take one of the Tunnels into Balmer . From there you hit Delaware and go across the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I can’t remember if AC is right before the Jersey Turnpike. The best time to leave VA on weekday mornings is right after rush hour. On weekends during the mornings before 10:00. Evenings during the weekends/ weekdays is anyone’s guess. WeekNights after 8:00 p.m. is also good. (This is from my memory when I used to drive from Southern MD to NYC/Maine). You’ll be slowed down by the traffic in DC, Baltimore and Philly if anything.
