Atlantic City could strengthen its casino tourism business by better connecting entertainment, dining, events, and trip planning, according to a Nov. 11 analysis from Breaking AC News. The article points to Singapore and Macau as examples of destinations that combine gambling with a broader visitor experience.

The analysis also cites a New Jersey Casino Control Commission report saying online gaming revenue surpassed in-person casino revenue in 2025, providing context for its focus on attractions beyond the casino floor.

Singapore and Macau combine casinos with other attractions

Singapore’s two integrated resorts, Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands, combine gaming with hotels, dining, shopping, attractions, and conventions.

According to the Singapore Tourism Board, as cited by Breaking AC News, the resorts have committed substantial investment to expansion plans. Those plans include new attractions at Resorts World Sentosa and an entertainment arena at Marina Bay Sands.

Macau’s resort development similarly places restaurants, retail, and entertainment around gaming properties. The analysis cites Macau’s Statistics and Census Service as reporting more than 40 million visitors in 2025 and MOP 80.12 billion in non-gaming visitor spending.

Connecting Atlantic City’s venues and trip planning

Atlantic City already has the historic Boardwalk, a beach, Boardwalk Hall, the Atlantic City Convention Center, casino showrooms, and smaller music venues. Breaking AC News argues that these assets could be better connected through coordinated scheduling and visitor packages linking convention and entertainment visitors with nearby businesses.

The article also identifies a coordinated event calendar, clearer transportation information, and reliable connections between districts as ways to improve a visit.

Digital trip planning is another focus. The analysis says visitors increasingly expect to compare hotels, reserve restaurants, buy show tickets, and navigate attractions from their smartphones.

It also references a proposed “Amusement City” redevelopment around the Claridge area that would include recreation, entertainment, and residential space. The project remains a plan, according to Breaking AC News.
