Past few years we've gone to AC 3-4 times, depending on the year.

We don't gamble. It's just a good way to get away for a weekend. I work very long hours, so after a major deadline we like to get away just for a couple days.

It's a good place to go, walk around, enjoy the boardwalk, etc. I've been going down since I was a kid and gambling never appealed to me.

We have one more trip planning before the end of the year. It will be a total of 9 nights this year, all at Tropicana (I know it's not the best option but it's walking distance/closest to chabad in ventnor, which is important to us). So it's not a huge amount on parking, but enough that it's annoying.
