Hotel searches for Atlantic City on KAYAK for Memorial Day weekend are up a whopping 94% from last year, as those in the Northeast hunt for a beach spot close to home (we’re sure the endless rows of casinos didn’t deter anyone, either). In fact, the resort city jumped from #10 to #3 year-over-year in our list of most searched hotel destinations.
Why Atlantic City, you wonder? Here are a few good reasons to hit the famous boardwalk this Memorial Day:
– Experience the highly-anticipated grand opening of Atlantic City’s newest resort, Revel Casino
– Tour the real haunts of the indomitable gangsters of the 1920s “Boardwalk Empire”-era Atlantic City
– Observe the 2012 ShopRite LPGA Classic, the perfect pastime for golf enthusiasts (May 28-June 3, 2012)
Not feeling a trip down the Shore? Las Vegas, NV and New York, NY continue to rank as the #1 and #2 most searched hotel destinations overall.
Wherever you end up spending this Memorial Day weekend, remember to keep the sunscreen handy and fire up a grill.
