Atlantic City Residents Hope for Best as Casinos Close

The storied Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey has shut its doors and two more casinos are about to close in the coming weeks. Residents now brace for the worst, worrying over what will become of their seaside town.

5000-plus workers were let go as a result of the closures.

"This might be the silver lining out of Super Storm Sandy," Pastor David McGettigan said in reference to the storm that ravaged Atlantic City nearly two years ago. "That we are more ready for something like this, and to let people know that you are not going to go under. We didn't go under from Sandy, and we're not going to go under from this."

Atlantic City has been struggling to compete with casinos that are opening in neighboring states.
