Most of those hotels are straight up flophouses. Same with the stretch south of Absecon and north of AC that I mentioned earlier on Route 30. Those places are fucking DUMPS.
Honestly, if you're not into AC prices check into Absecon -- there are several perfectly safe/clean hotels there by the Harley dealership. You'll be a little further out though, and remember this is the shore during summer so you're looking at around $200 a night anywhere you go (unless you have a AAA or other discount).

As Dave Chappelle said when I saw him down there, "Man, Borgata casino! This place is fuckin' nice! Atlantic City's not nice..."
Here's the thing, guys -- I would NOT recommend walking to the shows from ANY casino. The city is really fucking shitty as you get further from the casinos. The area immediately along the boardwalk and about a block inward (where they recently put in a bunch of new shops and restaurants) is alright, but if you go more than a couple blocks out it can get really rough really quick. What looks like a mile walk from a boardwalk casino includes at least half a mile of straight up fucking ghetto and projects.
Maybe I'm being overcautious, but I'm just trying to look out for the folks who might be hitting AC for the first time.
