Ocean Resort Casino
The Ocean Resort Casino is looking to turn the tide and bring luxury back to the boardwalk. Currently the tallest building in Atlantic City, this beautiful new beach waterfront resort features over 15 restaurants; including the American Cut steakhouse, Italian fave Dolce Mare, Amada for savory Spanish cuisine and Mark Walhburg’s burger joint Walhburgers.
The Ocean Resort also boasts an impressive entertainment lineup and concert performances in the 4,200 seat Ovation Hall venue. There are six swimming pools, and a 40,000 square foot Exhale spa for guests looking to relax. Alternatively, guests can hit the dance floor at the resort’s two popular nightclubs; then get into the swing of things hanging out at the world’s largest 26,000 square foot Topgolf Swing Suite. (Which features spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.) Another perk? There’s no need to be a high-roller to enjoy free self-parking at the resort through September 4th.

Borgata also recently became the first Atlantic City casino to accept legalized, regulated sports betting; an event that began with hall of fame basketball legend Julius Erving placing the first, historic racebook bet last month. It’s no secret that the odds are in your favor for a fabulous stay at this fine resort.
