Fodor's Expert Review Ocean Casino Resort

500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA

The shimmering 47-story hotel and resort, the tallest in Atlantic City, challenges the Borgata as the swankest reservation around. Floor-to-ceiling windows give every room an ocean backdrop and the decor is elegant and understated, with muted tones and polished dark walnut. More than 15 restaurants, including the steakhouse American Cut, Jose Garces' Amada, and the Italian-focused Dolce Mare, provide something for every tastebud, and the city's newest casino has nearly 2,000 slot machines, more than 125 table games, and the Gallery Bar, Book & Games with 140 feet of LED walls that line the venue and plenty of space to watch all the sports you want. Pools with private cabanas and a fully serviced beach anchor the summertime social scenes. Guests can relax at the 40,000-square-foot Exhale Spa + Bathhouse or have some fun at the HQ2 Nightclub or Topgolf Swing Suite.
