Few destinations in the United States are as quintessentially associated with the beach lifestyle as Atlantic City, New Jersey. 

The coastal city in southern New Jersey is renowned for its famous boardwalk, its high-end gaming venues and its local properties that were immortalized thanks to the game of Monopoly.

Groups heading to the city can sample much of what it has to offer when they visit two of its oceanside attractions, the Tropicana Casino and Resort and the Resorts Casino Hotel.

The Tropicana, which underwent $90 million in renovations from 2014 to 2016, features more than 2,000 rooms; 42 restaurants, bars and lounges; 25 shops; two pools; a spa; and an IMAX theater. A visitor favorite is the resort’s signature entertainment complex, The Quarter.

This year, Resorts Casino Hotel is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The property, situated on 11 acres along the city’s famous boardwalk, boasts a massive gaming floor and has 942 rooms and suites between its 15-story Ocean Tower and the new 27-story Rendezvous Tower.

To learn more about the Tropicana, reach out to Wanda Sosa or go to tropicana.net.
