ocated about 60-minutes by vehicle from downtown Atlantic City, the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) serves as a major gateway not only into Philadelphia but also surrounding regions as well, namely Atlantic City. The airport is approximately seven (7) miles from downtown Philadelphia and is easily accessible from Interstates 76, 95, and 476. New Jersey Transit runs about 30 trains per day between Philadelphia's 30th Street Station and the Atlantic City Rail Terminal making local stops along the way. Call 1-800-626-RIDE in New Jersey, or 215-569-3752 in Pennsylvania for more information. (Free shuttle service is available from the AC Rail Terminal to any casino). DRIVING DIRECTIONS FROM PHILADELPHIA: Exit Pennsylvania Turnpike at Valley Forge (Exit 24) onto the Schuylkill Expressway (Rt.76) through Philadelphia to the Walt Whitman Bridge, N/S Freeway to the Atlantic City Expressway. From Philadelphia -60 minutes.

Sorry to post so many replies but this should do it. By Train
From the airport, take the SEPTA Regional Rail Line (entrance on pedestrian bridges and commercial roadway) $7.00 one-way to 30th Street Station (Amtrak). New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City line runs from 30th Street Station to AC, so you can catch the train at 30th Street Station. The train also makes local stops through Cherry Hill, Lindenwold, etc. The fare is $10. Schedule http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/R00... Once you arrive at the Atlantic City Train terminal, there are free shuttles to all casinos. Use the Kirkman Boulevard exit [follow the crowd] and each shuttle has signage for which casinos they go to. The shuttles depart quickly, so it's best not to linger or use the restroom in the Train Terminal as the shuttles will depart without you. BTW, there is a restroom on the train. The return shuttle is free as well. Ask the shuttle driver and/or the hotel front desk for pickup times and waiting area. It's usually 30 minutes before train departure at the spot the shuttle drops you off, but not always so please be sure to ask.
Another option is to take the PATCO Speedline to Lindenwold and connect to the AC line. This has become a popular choice among weekenders and commuters from Philly to AC. The Speedline runs from 16th and Locust to Lindenwold where you can transfer to the NJ Transit AC line. Schedule http://www.ridepatco.org/schedules/sc... If you do decide to use these 2 trains, please be aware that each train has a different ticketing system as they are different agencies, so buy your train tickets accordingly.
By Bus
Take the NJ Transit 551 bus from the Greyhound Terminal in Philadelphia (10th and Filbert), costs $16.50 one way, direct into Atlantic City Bus Terminal, just a couple of blocks from the nearest casinos.trip. Greyhound buses also run from the Greyhound Terminal and are $12 (standard fare) or $16 (refundable fare) one way, also going direct to Atlantic City Bus Terminal. (All buses stop in Camden and Sicklerville while some also stop at the Farley service Plaza.)
Once in Atlantic City, you can get around by Jitney (they run every few minutes on Pacific Avenue, some go to the marina area), NJ Transit bus (at the bus terminal and along Atlantic Avenue, see NJtransit.com for schedules), taxi (available almost everywhere) or walk to most locations.
