The newspaper was founded in 1974 under the name Whoot! by Lewis B. Steiner and his parents, Herb and Marcia Steiner, while Lewis was a Junior at Stockton College in Pomona, New Jersey.^[1] Herb served as the Feature Editor until his death in 1989, after which Marcia assumed the role of Editor and Food Reviewer until her death in 1998. Lewis' wife, Christine Steiner, whom he married in 1981, served as the office manager.^{[citation needed]}

The newspaper covered the Atlantic City nightlife prior to the popularized casino scene of the present. As the city underwent a period of economic growth, Lewis Steiner (henceforth referred to as "Steiner") began recording videos of local entertainment in the casinos as well as interviews with celebrities and locals. The videos were an integral part of the newspaper's website, as well as on Steiner's YouTube account.^{[citation needed]}

In 2000, Review Publishing LP of Philadelphia acquired the newspaper, making it a sister publication to the Philadelphia Weekly.
