The seaside vacation mecca is know for its buffets, those all-you-can-eateries that go with casinos. Now, a different kind of buffet has just opened in this venerable sand and surf New Jersey town, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville.

The new Buffet establishment includes its own casino, outdoor dining overlooking the Boardwalk, Landshark Bar & Grill, specialty drinks, extensive dining menu and retail store.

As many of we seasoned citizens can remember, the name of Jimmy’s resort-within-a-resort operation is based on his hit song of the 1970s. Actually, the singing star has already parlayed that theme and his fantastic business acumen into 27 Margaritavilles around the world. Branches abound in such exotic places as Las Vegas, Orlando, Nashville, New Orleans, Jamaica, Grand Turk, Cozumel and a dozen other locations.

If you'll be in Atlantic City, give Jimmy's new place a visit. For more information, go to .margaritavilleatlanticcity.com
