Atlantic City, known as the “Las Vegas of the East Coast,” is a vibrant and exciting destination with a plethora of activities for all types of travelers. This is the original American beach getaway, a place where celebrities have escaped for ages. So, what are the best activities in and around this gem of the Jersey Shore?
First and foremost, no trip to Atlantic City would be complete without trying your luck at one of the famous casinos. Ocean, Caesar’s, Tropicana, the Borgata, and more are wonderful places to gamble. But don’t sell these casinos short. They also offer a range of opportunities for shopping and amazing restaurants led by some of the finest chefs in the world. The Retreat @ 385 recommends Angeline (by Michael Symon) at The Borgata.
In addition to its renowned casinos, Atlantic City offers a vibrant nightlife scene that will keep you entertained long after the sun goes down. You’ll find a range of live music, comedy shows, and more. This is the kind of place you might escape to for a show, stay overnight, and stumble home to The Retreat @ 385 the next morning.
Finally, don’t forget to take advantage of Atlantic City’s stunning beach. Atlantic City often doesn’t get enough credit for its beaches, but they are a wonderful place to relax, primarily because most people in town are shopping, eating, or gambling.
Consider touring The Retreat @ 385 if you want to live halfway between this beautiful mecca by the sea and historic Philadelphia.
