Fodor's Expert Review Caesars Atlantic City Hotel/Casino

Where else can you see a replica of Michelangelo's David surrounded by slot machines? Caesar's invented the theme casino and here, as in Las Vegas, it continues to be a pantheon of gaudiness. In the main Temple Lobby, the ceiling is a faux night sky, and Caesar and Cleopatra themselves make regular appearances. As far as entertainment goes, it rules this stretch of the Boardwalk. Big name musicians and comedians take the stage every weekend at the Circus Maximus Theater and DJs keep the coifed and buffed kids dancing well into the night. The connecting Pier Shops offer dozens of high-end stores and waterside restaurants. There are even few a low-stakes tables in this high-rolling 145,000-square-foot Roman empire.
