About 37 million visitors arrive each year in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to take advantage of this miniature Sin City on America’s East Coast. But gambling isn’t the only draw. Visitors also come to take in the Boardwalk, with its all-American Boardwalk Fries, crunchy funnel cake and chewy salt water taffy. Some come for the salty Atlantic Ocean. And many come for the Vegas-style entertainment that Atlantic City offers.

The House of Blues hosts entertainers such as Gospel Brunch and Mary Mary. The Stockton Performing Arts Center regularly has concerts with performers like Dokken, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, and Hal Ketchum.
Comedy
