Construction is next to tourism as the area's biggest industry. The amount of growth in the surrounding communities has been impressive. The labor is there.

More and more younger skewing bands are doing AC. There are enough venues around that the bands can find dates, and the mid-size venues can be filled easily by out of towners and the younger generation living in Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. Vegas skewed as a family destination for a while, and then found out it wasn't working. AC might be finding it's niche in the 17+ crowd. Only time will tell.
