1. Caesar’s Hotel & Casino

As you might expect, it would be pretty difficult to review hotels in a casino city without mentioning Caesar’s, one of the premier resorts anytime there’s a blackjack table nearby!

Known for having one of the cleanest casinos and best selections for dining and nightlife options, Caesar’s should be at top of every list for getting the quintessential Atlantic City experience.

 

Why stay at this AC hotel?

Though the nightlife experience is unrivaled, Caesar’s is just as fantastic a place to stay for the great experiences it offers throughout the entire day. As one of the closest casinos to Atlantic City’s amazing outlets, Caesar’s is in the perfect location for shopaholics like me!

2. Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City

Standing 45 floors above the Atlantic City marina, Harrah’s Resort offers some of the most stunning waterfront views anywhere in the mid-Atlantic. Find yourself in one of the suites with a Jacuzzi bathroom, and you will swear you’re in heaven.

Outside the rooms, a full-service casino, theater shows, and 13 (!) dining options – including an award-winning waterfront buffet – are sure to leave you wondering why you’d ever want to leave!

 

What makes Harrah's one of the best hotels on the strip?

Without a doubt, the pool at Harrah’s Atlantic City is one of the most stunningly beautiful I have ever seen. Enclosed with a bamboo-framed dome and adorned with palm trees and other flora, you could make a sound case that it’s more gorgeous greenhouse than resort pool.

Find an ice cold daiquiri, slink into one of the plush bungalows, and be totally at peace!

    Excellent reading! Atlantic City is a popular tourist destination with many hotels to accommodate visitors all year. The Boardwalk area is, in my opinion, the most fantastic place to stay in Atlantic City. The location is the main draw, where you can take a four-mile stroll along the shoreline and enjoy the diverse eating experience.
