AboutNewJersey.com Announces its “Atlantic City Family Getaway” Contest

March 29, 2009 - PRLog -- TOMS RIVER, NJ  - AboutNewJersey.com is proud to announce its third contest of the year, featuring a family getaway to Atlantic City. Enter at www.AboutNewJersey.com/contest/ from now through May 22, 2009 for your chance to win a family getaway to Atlantic City featuring a one night stay at the Sheraton Atlantic City  Convention Center Hotel, a $50 Gift Certificate to Hard Rock Cafe Atlantic City,  four all day ride passes to Steel Pier and four tickets to Absecon Lighthouse, Atlantic City Aquarium and Lucy the Elephant.

Atlantic City is much more than the Gaming Capital of the East, it's a true family destination as well.  Robert Rosetta, President of AboutNewJersey.com, Inc, stated, “we are very happy to be bringing together these fantastic family attractions, many within walking distance of each other and to showcase that Atlantic City is so much more than the glitz and glamor of the casinos” he went on to say, “we've done many smaller Atlantic City contests through the years, but with more attractions wanting to be included, we really needed to have a hotel involved.  Thanks to the Sheraton Atlantic City, we were able to put this great package together.”  

Carla Caulk, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel,  added, “We are so proud to be partnering with AboutNewJersey.com and some of the best family attractions in Atlantic City. The Sheraton Atlantic City prides itself of being a very family friendly hotel and helping families connect with what is important to them is what we love to do.”

Along with enjoying the one night stay at the Sheraton, the winner will also get to ride the Crazy Mouse roller coaster and get a fantastic view of Atlantic City's famous Boardwalk atop the ferris wheel at the historic Steel Pier, climb the steps of New Jersey's tallest lighthouse, Absecon Lighthouse which was built in 1857. At the Atlantic City Aquarium you can learn about the many inhabitants of the deep and see the interactive shark feeding show while having a chance to ask the diver questions. From there it is a short drive to Margate where the most unique tourist attraction in the world calls home, Lucy the Elephant. Where else would you be able to climb inside a 6 story, 65 foot tall, 90 ton elephant and look through its eyes at the Atlantic Ocean?  In between, enjoy a family meal at the Hard Rock Cafe Atlantic City, just outside the entrance of the Steel Pier on the Boardwalk.  The Hard Rock Cafe is more than a  restaurant, it's a rock 'n roll museum, with memorabilia from the Beatles to Led Zepplin, to New Jersey's very own Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi.

Walt Disney World may have two resorts modeled after the Jersey Shore, but here in New Jersey is the real thing, with the real history. So take a walk on the real life Monopoly® board and explore the many family oriented attractions that Atlantic City has to offer.
