Take e a look at this article and follow a locals idea on the best practices for the most successful party at the Jersey Shore.
Lodging Accommodations
One of the harder tasks is finding a casino or hotel that fits the majority of your groups budget and amenity wish list. We recommend using a company called the AC Hotel Experts for your lodging reservations, they can help you plan your entire party, they can be reached toll free at 1-88-392-8288 or in person at 34 N. Mississippi ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401. Casinos obviously cost more than regular hotels, and suite hotels are sometimes better than any other accommodations because they can sleep more people and you stay closer together. Options like the FantaSea Resorts Flagship, La Renaissance Suites and Blue Green Resorts at Atlantic Palace offer these types of suite style rooms with full kitchens etc. Below we list our hotel recommendations by star rating, the higher the star the more expensive it is.
Revel Casino – 5 Stars $329 to $499 per room per night on weekends, great clubs, restaurants and more.
Borgata Hotel & Spa – 5 Stars $299 to $429 per night based on two people in the room, top rated clubs, poker room and spa.

Boogie Nights – Located in the Tropicana, a retro 70′s & 80′s club that will have everyone dancing all night long.

Male Revue and Strip Clubs
Each bride or groom to be has their own thoughts on strip clubs or male revue shows, if this is on their wish list then check out these places to maximize your fun on this memorable occasion.

Restaurants Reservations
There are no shortage of dining options in Atlantic City from 5 star Zagat rated to local, way under the radar restaurants and plenty in between. This is a short list of options we recommend as they cater to your type of group all the time and are unique, fun experiences.
The Palm - at the Tropicana Quarter, best steak and seafood restaurant in town, Barbara B handles groups and does an awesome job, highly recommended.
Buddakan at the Pier at Caesars – unique Steven Starr restaurant, amazing flavors and very unique menu options.

This show is so popular that the first date sold out in minutes which lead to the Borgata Casino executives to quickly add an additional to support the demand. Tim Johnson said “this show always does well here in Atlantic City, it’s Sold Out every year since they teamed up, we love to them here at the Borgata!”.
The Borgata Events Center is a great place to watch a concert. The two main types of seating are the floor (all one level) and the Riser which is elevated seating in the rear of the center. Many Earth Wind and Fire concert goers enjoy the risers, more comfortable seats, easy access to bar and bathrooms, elevated above the floor seating for a better view and the sound is perfect.
It may be good idea to lock in tickets to EWF quickly as they are completely sold out and the ticket inventory on the secondary market is also going fast.
