view of Atlantic CityAtlantic City is a fun town!! I spent the 4th of July in Atlantic city. It was a great time, the kids and I were guest of the Visit AC and the Atlantic City Alliance. If you read my post last week, I discussed what we were going to see :the 4th of July Fireworks, Concert and Duality Light show: Here is what you missed!light show on building
The fireworks Atlantic Cities are rated in the top in the nation. The Fireworks by Grucci and lasted 20+ minutes. It was great they even had smiley faces in the fireworks. The kids loved it and we had a great time watching them,  doing the big Ooos and Ahhs. fireworks
The next part of the night was the Kevin Rudolf concert. Kevin Rudolf, included his hits song “let Rock. Be sure to check Let It Rock on out on you tube.  My daughter loved the concert it was her 1st concert and seeing it from the front was awesome. One of our favorite songs was Welcome World.   I have to say I really his music.. it pop but rock.  It is fun to dance to it. kevin Rudolf on stagekevin Rudolf on stagelittle girl with kevin Rudolf

Then after the show she was able to meet Kevin-  So cool I got a picture too.. I am so a 15 year old girl.

The Most remarkable part of the evening was “Duality” 3D light show by Moment Factory . The Moment factory did a fabulous job on the light show. Which was remarkably produced in 3 months . The bloggers in attendance including myself got to see a behind the scenes look of the production. Here is are a sneak peak of the computer used to run the light system.a computer console
The Duality is a Permanent art insulation that runs every night on boardwalk hall in Atlantic City’s Famed Boardwalk Hall runs every night 2 time an hour and it is really great. The Moment factory Manages to make the hall disappear in the night. Check out the video.

We also got to sat in the lovely Golden Nugget Hotel in the Marina . Newly renovated, with a price tag of $150 million, the spa alone cost 6$ million. They have very some really fabulous restaurant Chart house and The property is owned and operated by Landry’s Restaurants.the pool at the golden nugget
Also the outside pool area is only one of 2 outside pools in Atlantic City and is heated in the winter.
So worth the trip down to Atlantic City to see the show. Also for the kids right near boardwalk hall is located near the Rain Forest Café and Mini golf so you can add more to your trip.
