The Gambling Capitol of the East coast will soon be easier to get to, if you live in New York. An express train service from New York to Atlantic City is planned to open late 2007 or early 2008, but so far there is no plan for the train to stop in NJ.

The exact details are still being finalized for the new train service being called "ACES" for the Atlantic City Express Service, so far the rout is planed to be from Penn Station NYC to just north of Philadelphia, where it will turn east and continue non stop to Atlantic City.

"Our initial thoughts are to go directly from Penn Station with no stops to Atlantic City," said the regional vice president for development at one of Atlantic City's Casinos. "As things develop we may stop at other places."

The senior vice president and chief administrative officer of another Hotel Casino & Spa, said it's still possible there will be a stop in New Jersey. "We're still open to it," he said. "It's something we're going to have to partner with NJ Transit to see whether or not that's feasible."

The casinos themselves are paying for the new train service in an attempt to bring in gamblers from New York who don?t own cars and will not ride the bus.
