What are three great spots for nighttime entertainment in Atlantic City?
- The Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa: Live entertainment is available every night of the week at this venue. Basically this is the place to go to see headliner entertainment, their theaters are intimate, and any seat at any show is amazing. Their calendar is always lined up with who people want to see perform today. JayZ, Adele, Chelsea Handler, Jerry Seinfeld, Rihanna, The Who and Sound Garden, for example, have performed there. They also have two of the best dance clubs in the city, Mixx and Murmur, and the Gypsy Bar features live bands, several lounges and many fabulous restaurants that also offer comfortable spots to enjoy a drink. The Borgata’s comedy club is also open on evenings when a headliner is not appearing.
- House of Blues at Showboat Casino: The House of Blues venue at Showboat features a fabulous music hall with concerts for all ages and genres. There’s also an amazing nightlife lounge: the Foundation Room. There are celebrity disk jockeys and people get out on the dance floor. It’s a very sexy, chill atmosphere with lots of candles and a Middle Eastern-inspired decor. Plus, it’s tucked away a bit so not so many people know about it; it feels exclusive. It’s open to the public Thursday to Saturday and features headliner DJs and celebrity appearances. The lounge offers bottle service and an outdoor area that overlooks the Boardwalk. Many private “prayer rooms” are available for groups. These spaces are small, private rooms decorated with lots of candles, couches and other elements complementary to the space. People using them feel almost like being at a club and having a booth. The prayer rooms offer bottle service, and they are nice places to entertain special clients. We feel as a company that House of Blues produces the best ambience and service level for a nightclub. With bottle service, A-list DJs and celebrities, lighting, sound system, beautiful people and dress code, if a nightclub is what you’re looking for, this is where you will find the best.
- The Quarter at the Tropicana: Modeled after the original Tropicana in Havana, this venue offers something for everyone. There are several restaurants, bars, lounges, nightclubs and shopping. Inside the Quarter, meeting attendees can easily move from place to place, and you can find dining and drink specials there on many weeknights. There is also a karaoke bar and a nightly comedy club.
