The Real Boardwalk Empire: Atlantic City
Spa Toccare at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
Sexy nightlife. Opulent dining. Posh boutiques. Lively casinos. Enticing entertainment. Atlantic City has all that and more to offer you this summer. Head up to the AC for a weekend and live out your own Boardwalk Empire scenario complete with luxury, libations and lucky slots.
Stay at the Borgata for sophisticated extravagance, The Chelsea for the hottest and swankiest retro digs or at Caesars to be in midst of everything directly on the Boardwalk. The Borgata has three different types of lavish suites with up to 1,500 sq feet and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Jersey Shore. The Chelsea is a non-gaming hotel with a sparkling rooftop pool, private cabanas, bar and lounge that’s home to the sexiest social scene in AC. Caesars is the epicenter with first-class shopping, eclectic dining, concert venues with platinum artists and, of course, a bustling casino with hundred of slots machines and tables to increase your chances of a winning hand.

The Pier Shops at Caesars, Atlantic City Outlets-The Walk or shops along the famed Boardwalk are perfect for a day of shopping, people watching or simply browsing. Tons of souvenir shops, vintage arcades and street vendors line the Boardwalk to keep you occupied for hours. If you decide to hit the Jersey Shore, slather on the sunscreen and catch a wave or two while surfing, kayaking or boogie boarding. If spending time on the beach doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can always opt to rent a bicycle or scooter to ride along the shoreline.
Pick your poison for an exciting night on the town worthy of a scene right out of the roaring 20’s. Diving Horse Cabaret & Steakhouse is a brand new high-end burlesque club perfect for celebrating a special occasion with a group or settling undetected into a corner booth for a memorable evening. Saunter into Chelsea’s Fifth with your fedora tipped to the side for a sultry and exclusive nightlife experience in chic, hip surroundings. Mur.Mur is the modern version of a speakeasy hidden away for the young and restless willing to pay for an elite level of service. The top deejays from across the globe play there nightly.
Drive to Atlantic City in under 4 hours, hop on a daily tour bus or take a short flight from any of the area’s three airports into Atlantic City International Airport. Whether you go to AC for the hotels, gambling, beaches, concerts, shopping or the club scene, you’ll find a place to kick back and enjoy your brief stay on the boardwalk.
