Consider one of the many excursion tour bus trips to Atlantic City
available in Phila. Most will take you right to the door of one of the
casinos, you may even get $10.00 - $20.00 in meal vouchers or to play
with in the casino. Plus, it isn't written in stone that you have to
spend all your time at the casino. You can take in a show, walk the
boardwalk or just sit on the beach.

Some casino tour buses can be very deluxe with personal televisions,
refreshments, climate control and comfortable lavatories on board. If I
had a choice between public transportation and a casino bus the casino
bus would win hands down.

New Jersey Transit has regular buses to AC from the Philadelphia bus
terminal (the Greyhound terminal on Filbert Street, directly across
from the Market East SEPTA station). I'm not sure of the cost, but you
can find it on the NJT Web site (probably cheap, as NJ subsidizes a
lot of their transportation pretty well). There are also buses to
other shore towns, like Ocean City.

Or, as the other poster suggested, the casino bus trips are usually
good deals. Often you'll get meal vouchers or $$ to spend at the
casinos.

Go to http://www.njtransit.com and look up the information on train
routes and schedules for the "Atlantic City Rail Line."

The suggestion to go on a bus tour is probably the better option though.
Just do a web search and you can find lots of info on this subject.
There are numerous privately operated tour companies that run daily bus
tours from points in Philadelphia to any of the various casino hotels in
Atlantic City where you get coupons for free meals, a voucher for $5 in
gaming chips, etc. so the cost adds up to almost zero.
