The Best Resorts Atlantic City Has to Offer

Jul 18 , 2011

Atlantic City's resorts are some of the best in the world, with the most famous names offering luxurious accommodations, lavish amenities, and fantastic gambling and entertainment. Before you book your stay, read this guide to discover the best resorts Atlantic City has to offer.


Trump Plaza

Trump Plaza, the namesake towering hotel and casino of renowned businessman Donald Trump, is undeniably one of the best resorts Atlantic City has to offer. It stands 39 stories above the Boardwalk, and it offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as an extensive list of entertaining diversions. If you’ve come for gambling, check out Trump Plaza’s table games, where you’ll find games of blackjack, craps, and baccarat going at all hours, as well as hot new games like Pai Gow Poker and Tiles. 

Trumps’ slots are the best in AC, with the largest jackpots and the best action around. Ranging from penny games to $100 games in semi-private luxury, the slots at Trumps can’t be missed. When you’re not gambling, check out the top-rated Beach Bar for an outdoor club experience, and dine at the celebrated Max’s Steakhouse.

Tropicana Casino & Resort

The Tropicana Casino & Resort is another example of the best resorts Atlantic City has to offer. Many guests describe Tropicana’s décor as the most relaxing you’ll find in AC. At this resort, you’ll get to choose from a dozen nightlife locations, including a sports bar, Irish pub, beach bar, and several swanky lounges. It regularly attracts excellent comedy and entertainment acts, like Craig Ferguson, Goo Goo Dolls, and boxing matches. At the Tropicana, you’ll be able to gamble, relax poolside, spend a few hours at the spa, and go shopping, all in the same resort.

Resorts Casino Hotel

With a name like Resorts, how can it not be one of the best resorts Atlantic City has to offer? This proud casino hotel has seen its ups and downs, and it is currently on a major upswing after falling into mismanagement. To prove that it is one of the best resorts in the city, Resorts is determined to book the most entertaining acts around, including boxing and MMA title fights. Before your event, eat at one of the many restaurants Resorts has to offer. Check out Gallagher’s, Resorts’ fine steakhouse, which lays claim to having been the first to offer the signature “New York Strip”.

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa

If you like card games, Borgata might be the best resort Atlantic City has to offer you. Daily tournaments attract famous poker players from all over, and you shouldn’t be surprised to recognize someone at your table from televised tournaments. Wednesdays and Fridays see regular $30,000 tournaments, and there are monthly tourneys with triple digit winnings at stake. Whether you’ve busted or won the jackspot, cap your night with a music or comedy performance. Borgata regularly books A-list acts, including the likes of Rihanna and Jay Leno.
