Fodor's Expert Review Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City
1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA
Atlantic City may not have the glitz and glam of Vegas, but this property certainly makes you feel like you’re at a Vegas party where everyone came to have a good time while surrounded by priceless rock memorabilia and amazing works of art (look up as you're riding the escalator). The casino features more than 2,000 slot machines and 130 table games, plus there are four fine-dining restaurants onsite---Il Mulino New York, Sandpiper Coastal Bar & Grill, Council Oaks Steaks & Seafood, and Kuro---as well as the classic Hard Rock Cafe and a branch of South Jersey’s favorite sandwich shop, White House Subs. If you’re into more relaxing activities, there's a pool and sundeck on the South Tower’s 4th level, easy access to Atlantic City Beach (with drinks available at the Beach Bar), and the must-visit Rock Spa & Salon.
PROS
- Las Vegas, but in New Jersey
- the 5,500-seat Etess Arena
- the Rock Spa & Salon with its menu of services centered around the vibrations and patterns of music
CONS
- this is not a quiet getaway location
- elevators are very slow so plan accordingly if you need to be somewhere at a specific time
- check-in on weekends and holidays can be chaotic if you don't have VIP parking and check-in
