2015 in Atlantic City<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What \u00a0hotels have in store \u00a0for you.<\/h2>\n

\"Atlantic<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if you couldn\u2019t make it to Atlantic City to celebrate New Year\u2019s Eve, you still have almost all of 2015 to gamble, eat, drink, shop, and be entertained in this fabulous 24\/7 town. More good news is that great Atlantic City hotel deals, including Atlantic City discount hotels, are plentiful, and you can take advantage of lots of special offers right on this website. We also have the latest scoop on all of the great Atlantic City shows and other Atlantic City events that may interest you. Whether you gamble or not, there is always lots to do in Atlantic City and lots going on, but it\u2019s at night that this town really comes alive. So the focus of this article is the Atlantic City nightlife.<\/p>\n

Of course, in much the same way that you have a wide choice in what you play and how much you spend at the slot machines and tables, whether you make your fun night on the town expensive and over the top or surprisingly affordable is entirely up to you. Room costs, particularly if you are staying at one of the elegant Atlantic City boardwalk hotels or Marina hotels with a casino, are somewhat higher on weekends and holidays than during the rest of the week, and some entertainment venues may be a little more expensive, as well, but they are still nothing like the out of sight New Year\u2019s Eve prices. So if it has been too long since you have treated yourself to a special night out in Atlantic City, what are you waiting for? Virtually every night of the year, every casino and major non-casino Atlantic City hotel is buzzing with excitement. If you don\u2019t believe me, check it out for yourself. Atlantic City truly is the Las Vegas of the East!<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>ally\u2019s <\/strong>Atlantic City<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bar at Harry\u2019s<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a casual, laid back good time, by day, Harry\u2019s is a great choice for delicious reasonably priced seafood. But by night, the bar at Harry\u2019s really comes alive. You can have a couple of beers or one of Harry\u2019s signature cocktails and watch your favorite team on one of nine flat screen TVs, Or, if you prefer, in nice weather, relax in the courtyard and watch the parade of people on the boardwalk.<\/p>\n

Lobby Bar<\/em><\/p>\n

Mountain Bar<\/em> (at Bally\u2019s Wild Wild West)<\/p>\n

The Lobby Bar is a nice place to meet a friend for a relaxing cocktail. The Mountain Bar serves up honky-tonk country music on Thursday nights and a live band on weekends. Both bars are open 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Blue Martini<\/em><\/p>\n

If you love martinis, this place is for you. But choosing which one to order won\u2019t be easy since Blue Martini has over 100 varieties! There is live music, too.<\/p>\n

The Borgata, Atlantic City, is known for its spectacular nightlife.<\/p>\n

The energy of this Saturday and Sunday night only club featuring VIP and table service is off the charts. The party starts at 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 p.m. Sunday. World class DJs provide music to dance the night away.<\/p>\n

Gypsy Bar<\/em><\/p>\n

Caesars<\/strong> Atlantic City<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caesars is located right off the Atlantic City Expressway, right in the center of town. It is also Party Central for some great nightlife.<\/p>\n

Martorano\u2019s<\/em><\/p>\n

For a perfect combination of a hearty Italian feast served with an attitude (forget asking for substitutions) and music and dancing, too (the later the hour, the louder the entertainment), the place to be is Martorano\u2019s Italian-American Kitchen at Harrah\u2019s Resort. The Atlantic City Martorano\u2019s is very much like the original at the Rio in Las Vegas and very much unlike any other restaurant. For reservations, call 609-961-6970.<\/p>\n

The Pool<\/em><\/p>\n

There is no hotter or cooler place (depending on your point of view) to let loose in Atlantic City on a Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday night than the Pool After Dark at Harrah\u2019s which is open those three nights only from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. AC Weekly voted the Pool After Dark the Best Place to Spot a Celebrity.

When you don\u2019t feel like dancing, you can go swimming (or at least attempt it) or go upstairs to the Loft overlooking the pool and play blackjack or roulette. Poolside tables and private cabanas with bottle service can be arranged by calling 609-441-5585.<\/p>\n

Resorts<\/strong> Casino Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boogie Nights<\/em><\/p>\n

If you prefer a club with a more retro atmosphere, Boogie Nights might be the perfect place. Boogie Nights brings back the music of the 70s and 80s. Dance around the disco ball Friday and Saturday night stating at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Cuba <\/em>Libre<\/em> Restaurant and Rum Bar<\/em><\/p>\n

Anthem<\/em><\/p>\n

Open Wednesday through Sunday starting at 10 p.m., this stylish and trendy club features reasonably priced bottle service.<\/p>\n

Trump Taj <\/strong>Mahal<\/strong> Casino Resort<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last, but certainly not least, is the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. All of this casino\u2019s threats to close in 2014 turned out to be a false alarm, and the Taj is not going to close after all anytime soon. So why not show this struggling Atlantic City boardwalk hotel-casino your support by stopping by and having drink there to celebrate this good news. You can also take in a free performance by the Almost Angels (a female singing group) at the Ego Bar.<\/p>\n
