Tropicana Hotel Atlantic City: How to Recreate the Old Havana

Charming and elegant are two words that rarely go together, but the Tropicana Hotel Atlantic City has a mystic allure reminiscent of Cuba’s Havana and the grandeur of a classic Spanish city built in the 1500s. This is combined with the modern comforts and excitement a beachside casino resort in the gambling capital of the East has to offer.
The Rooms
A savvy traveler always minds the accommodations first. After all, it is going to be your home for the holidays. At the Tropicana, you can select from over 2,100 standard and classic rooms located in the West Tower, North Tower, and the much coveted Havana Tower, which overlooks The Quarter, where much of Tropicana’s Old Havana magic emanates.
Many of the guest rooms are a unique blend of quaint old world appeal and spectacular views of the Atlantic skyline, but the most lavish of all is the New Yorker Penthouse Suite, the height of luxury at the Tropicana where guests enjoy three elegant bedrooms, four ornate bathrooms, a bar, a grand piano, and the scenic views reminiscent of all rooms at the Tropicana Hotel Atlantic City.
The Quarter
Glamorous and exotic, yet ageless and classic was what the Old Havana was all about. It was the ultimate escape from drudgery of everyday life, where people treated themselves to pleasure and indulgence in sheer Latino style.
At the heart of the Tropicana is The Quarter, a pure recreation of the stimulating Old Havana. This is the main attraction of the hotel and guests couldn’t call their stay in Atlantic City perfect without experiencing The Quarter.
The saying ‘Shop ‘til you drop’ is an understatement in this haven for shoppers, where you can find a wide variety of, well, almost anything. Wines and cigars from around the world, designer fashion accessories, celebrity fashion clothing, fine jewelry, luxury chocolates, quaint farmer’s market goods, hats of all kinds, high-end pet treats, autograph memorabilia, baby items, authentic Swarovski products, gourmet food, and a whole hodgepodge of Havana goods and merchandise.
The Quarter also features the only movie theater in the whole Atlantic City and a chain of restaurants, bars, and lounges to enjoy good food and company.
The Casino
Atlantic City is not called the gambling capital of the East for nothing. It is second only to Las Vegas, thanks to the string of casinos that line the Boardwalk at the beachfront, one of which, of course, is the Tropicana Hotel Atlantic City.
You can play on progressive machines, video poker, video roulette, and more on more than 3,100 slot machines, or you can join the table games in the next room. Blackjack, baccarat, craps, and roulette are all traditional casino standards, but the casino at the Tropicana also features a the Jade Palace, separate area for Asian games like Pai Gow poker, Pai Gow tiles, and mini-baccarat.
And if you choose to stay overnight in one of the luxurious guest rooms, you are eligible for a discounted poker rate as long as you’ve logged at least four hours at the Tropicana poker club.
Of course, The Quarter and the casino are only the tip of the iceberg. People don’t just shop and gamble at the Tropicana, they also flock to wine and dine in the finest award-winning restaurants on the Boardwalk and bask in the serenity of the Bluemercury Spa. Only then can they say that their stay in Atlantic City is complete.

Four Delectable Experiences in the Best Atlantic City Restaurants

They say food is what makes any trip worthwhile. And while Atlantic City is better known for its world-class casinos and electrifying gambling experiences more than anything else, no holiday spent at the gambling capital of the East is complete without taking a bite in one of the best Atlantic City restaurants to eat, meet, and savor the delectable taste of the East.
1. Dock’s Oyster House
Ever since Harry “Dock” Dougherty opened his 60-seater oyster restaurant in 1897, locals and tourists have flocked to the place to try out what has been known to be the best oyster dishes in Atlantic City. And so we joined the throng and, we have to say, the best dishes in Dock’s menu are still the same old classics that were served a hundred years ago. Dock’s Beef and Reef—a sumptuous combination of filet mignon and broiled cold-water lobster—is the ultimate Dock’s meal. If you settle for something less filling, they have a daily raw bar where you can sample oysters, shrimps, shells, tuna, crabs, and a medley of other seafood.
2. Bill’s Gyro Souvalki
Whether you’re starving at 3PM or you just want to take a break from late-night gambling at the Boardwalk, Bill’s is the place to go—anytime! They never close, not when it’s raining sleet and ice or scorching hot. If you’re the type who can handle eating on paper plates and plastic forks, then Bill’s is perfect. It isn’t just your ordinary burger joint—but, yes, they do have burgers. If you’re more adventurous, which is a good thing if you’re in Atlantic City, then try their authentically Greek gyro—freshly sliced lamb meat served on homemade pita bread topped with tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. Yum! Don’t forget to sign a dollar bill and glue it to the wall on your way out.
3. Knife & Fork
Seems like the Dougherty family owns the entire restaurant business in this city. Knife & Fork was bought by Frank Dougherty, great-grandson of Dock Dougherty, and is one of the best Atlantic City restaurants we recommend for couples and families. The historical structure that houses the restaurant used to house a rebellious men’s club during the Prohibition Era of the roaring 20s. It’s not as defiant now, but the meals are just as sinful! The menu is heavy on seafood and steak and we suggest you don’t skip dessert. Try the dessert sampler—combination of walnut-crusted cheese cake, luscious chocolate truffle torte, lemon pie, and their heavenly peanut butter mousse—it’s wicked goodness all in one plate!
4. Borgata Buffet
This is hands down the best buffet we have ever been to in Atlantic City. They have a huge—and by that, we really mean huge!—selection of dishes. Italian pizzas, pastas, Greek salads, seafood chowder, fresh shrimps, lobsters, oysters, bacon and eggs (served during one of their busiest times of the day—breakfast), 100% all-American macaroni and cheese for the kids, bagels, pancakes, waffles, Chinese noodles, and more. You could sample pretty much every thing in bite-size servings. What really captivated our senses, specifically the taste buds, was the dessert table. We have to admit, cookies served at a buffet at a luxury hotel seems a little bit off, but you have to try them. And they serve fruit tarts that had, well, genuine fruits. Servings were pretty small, but considering you can taste a bit of everything, you get real value for your money at one of the best Atlantic City restaurants. Our only complaint was it took some time, 15 minutes maximum, before we were let in and seated. Other than that, the Borgata is one delectable experience you shouldn’t miss.
