As long as these kids have common sense, they will be fine especially during the day. Yes AC is shady but not deadly. Tell them to stay together and be aware of their surroundings. They should be like this no matter where they are though. We all should be. Drop them off around Caesar's and they can walk down to Showboat which I heard from friends is great. As long as they stay on the boardwalk and stay away from the literal dark corners at night, they will be fine. The boardwalk is well lit at night and the cops make their prescence known.
