Being a lifelong resident of AC, I'll try to answer some questions already posted.

Bader Field is about a half mile from the boardwalk. The walk is NOT through the ghetto. Albany Ave. is a commercial part of the city. There's a great waterfront bar caller the Wonder Bar at the foot of the bridge with a dock for boats to pull into.

The Hilton is the closest, Showboat is the furthest Casino from Bader Field along the boardwalk. Borgota and Trump Marina are on the other side of town and are nowhere near the fest. If you stay at any casinos, there are plenty of public transportation. My advice is to walk the boardwalk or take the Jitney. It makes frequent stops along the strip and will get you to Albany Ave. witch turns into Rt 40.
DO NOT stay at any of the no name hotels along Rt 40. Especially the Golden Key.

As for parking, I'm sure there will be some on site. They'll most likely have shuttles from parking garages further in the city.

FYI. The BEST bar in the city is The Irish Pub & Inn on St. James and the Boardwalk. Great atmosphere and incredible prices for food and drink.
