Others, notably casino collectors, saw the Boardwalk's demise as an opportunity.

David Schwartz, coordinator of the Gaming Studies Research Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, was on hand to collect some of the casino's historical documents for the school's archives.

Laurie Flink of Miami and two traveling companions bought a few of the $1 chips after dropping a few dollars in one last game of blackjack at the Boardwalk.
