   OK, so you want to come to the Atlantic City Air Show on Wednesday to watch the planes do their stunts. You and about half a million other people. I’ve been to it several times, so here are my tips to deal with the crowds and enjoy the aerobatics:

   - Get there early! The show doesn’t start until 11 a.m., but plan to be in town by 9 a.m., 9:30 at the absolute latest. I saw this with my own eyes a few years ago when I stayed over and could see the Atlantic City Expressway from my hotel room. At 9 a.m., the traffic was flowing smoothly into town. By 9:30 it was starting to back up. By 10 a.m., the expressway was bumper-to-bumper, going back for several miles. You may want to take Route 30 (White Horse Pike) or Route 40 (Black Horse Pike) into town for a less nasty traffic jam.

   The early birds also get the parking spaces. Many of the casino garages were filled up by 10 a.m. By the way, be sure to bring a player card if you have one. They’ll be charging premium prices to park, and a card will guarantee you a maximum of $5, even if you don’t gamble.

   If you ignore the above and get into town late, park at the Borgata. For a $5 fee (free for Black Label and Titanium players), you can park and get a shuttle to the boardwalk.

   - Eat breakfast at home, or stop somewhere on the way to pick up food. Every outlet in Atlantic City will have a long line, and you’ll wait at least half an hour to be served or seated. If you’re staying overnight, consider splurging on room service.

   - Bring what you need to be comfortable for the day. Don’t forget sunscreen, and reapply it often. Bring water or other beverages, or be prepared to pay dearly on the boardwalk. Pack any snacks you want. You may want to bring earplugs if you or your children are bothered by the loud engine noise. Bring a portable radio if you want a play-by-play commentary. Stations at 1400 on the AM dial and 96.9 on the FM will broadcast the show. You may also want to bring a beach or camp chair. Wear a bathing suit under your clothes if you want to swim. The ocean temperature was pushing 80 degrees yesterday, and was an absolute delight.

    - Scout out a good vantage point. The deck at the end of The Pier at Caesars is a good one, and they’re offering passes to the first 500 people who show up. The line starts forming at 8 a.m., and the mall opens at 10. The wristband will let you enter and exit at will all day.

   If you have a Harrah’s diamond card, the lounges at Bally’s and Caesars offer great views of the show if you can get a spot by the window. You can watch the airshow in air-conditioned comfort while you munch on a light buffet and sip your favorite beverages. But if you stay all day, don’t forget to leave your server a very generous tip.

   If you have a hotel room, check out the pool area or other section open only to hotel guests. You may get a great view from there.

   - Consider staying late Wednesday night. Half a million people leaving town at once will create a second traffic nightmare. So take a walk on the boardwalk, have dinner, explore the Caesaers Pier and The Walk outlets, or try your luck in the casinos. A dip in the ocean is a good idea. Lifeguards are on duty until 6 p.m.

   If you go, have fun. Don’t forget to check your mailbox. A lot of casinos are sending out offers good Wednesday only, in an effort to ensure you go into their air-conditioned gaming hall for a break from the heat.

As if you needed another reason to join the Trump One Club. New members just might win a cool million at Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza this summer, now through September 7, 2009. Trump Entertainment Resorts announced that two of its three Atlantic City casinos will feature a new machine — only at Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza — with a promotion open exclusively to new Trump One Card Holders.

The game, the Millionaire Maker Mega Slot Machine, is unlike any traditional slot machine you would find in Atlantic City. In fact, the Millionaire Maker is a massive flat-panel screen, which provides an interactive experience for those lucky enough to take a pull on its handle. And the payoff is big. Every spin is a guaranteed $10 cash winner — and it could even be a life-changing $1,000,000.

“A name like Trump makes us synonymous with millions,” said Mark Juliano, CEO of Trump Entertainment Resorts. “And we’re excited to see how many millionaires we can make this summer.”

To be eligible to spin the Millionaire Maker Mega Machine, individuals must be new members of the Trump One Club, having joined at either Trump Taj Mahal or Trump Plaza between now and September 7, 2009. New members can then simply play their favorite slots on the day they joined to earn Tier Points. When players rack up 20 Tier Points, they can print their slip at any Rewards Center Kiosk, then take a spin on the Millionaire Maker.

In addition to the spin players earn, Trump will give  each new member a bonus spin. These bonus spin is valid for one spin can used during the next visit and any time until the last day of the promotion on September 7.

“This promotion is designed to raise awareness of the great rewards players receive when they join the Trump One Club,” said Juliano. “And we wanted to make a splash with a massive potential payoff. That’s exactly what the Millionaire Maker does.”

“Rich cash back, room and dining comps, free gifts and tickets, exclusive invitations and Comp Dollars to use at some of the best restaurant and shopping outlets in town are just some of the reasons to sign up for the Trump One Club,” continued Juliano. “And now, with the Millionaire Maker there are a million more reasons to join.”

Spins on the Millionaire Maker Mega Machine will take place every day, from noon to 8 p.m. in the Main Concourse. For complete promotion rules and details, visit Trump One Services at either Trump Taj Mahal or Trump Plaza.

If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a star, here’s your big chance. Cirque Dreams Pandemonia, which is playing at the Taj Mahal through September 6, is looking for someone with a unique talent.

Auditions will be held Saturday, July 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Cirque Theatre (formerly known as the Xanadu). People are invited to show off a special talent to impress the producers. For those who’ve never seen a Cirque show, it has acrobats, dancers, singers, and they say just a few wacky eccentrics.

So if you want to perform, show up and show them what you’ve got.  Admission and tryouts are free, and there are no age restrictions. The winner will be trained, fitted with a costume and will perform in shows Wednesday through Sunday. If you’re chosen, you’ll also get 6 tickets to your debut performance so your closest family and friends can watch.

If you don’t want to try out, feel free to come and watch the action.

This sounds like a serious show, so silly talents probably aren’t appreciated. If you can belch out “The Star Spangled Banner” in perfect rhythm, you’re probably better off saving that one for the Ms./Mr. Miscellaneous contest held during Ocean City’s Weird Contest Week in August.

Good luck!
