What's a good welcome to people who fly into Atlantic City International Airport?

Wouldn't it be a great welcome to Atlantic City to be greeted similarly?

We asked locals what they thought would make a great welcome gift to visitors. What could we put around their necks that would somehow be symbolic of Atlantic City?

We received a TON of answers, some pretty good and creative and some.... well, a little rough.

Well, share some of the best answers we received first. Many of these are nods to the "good things" that Atlantic City is known for.

Michael Martin's idea was a pretzel!

From Jeanine Smith: "A necklace with a decorative poker chip on it."
