i recommend queuing up at least an hour before your departure time.
My experience has been that greyhound has more departures and is generally more reliable than academy these days. NJ transit has service to the atlantic city bus terminal only, which is a few blocks walk from caesars and bally's. Also, free membership in the casino's player program is required.) both bus lines have busses that arrive at and depart from caesars bally's is next door to caesars and is a good alternate, if the departure times work for your schedule. (Those without US driver's licenses generally need to provide a passport in order to get the free slot play. traveling by academy or greyhound will get you a 'slot play' rebate of about $25, as long as you get off the bus at a designated casino stop.
the former is relatively easy using either greyhound or academy and a little more complicated using NJ transit.Įxpect to pay about $45 per person for a round trip.
There are a large number of previous discussions in this forum on bus transportation between NYC and AC and a few discussions on getting to NYC airports from AC.
