Deals on vacations and trips to Atlantic City

Atlantic City Vacations

Atlantic City rests on Absecon Island, a summer vacation spot for the Lenni-Lenape, a group of Native Americans who were the first to be enthralled by this now world-class destination. Atlantic City’s history dates back more than 200 years, foretelling the great future of this glitzy gaming destination. Atlantic City vacations take you to the heart of this New Jersey resort oasis. A city of only 12 square miles, it boasts one of the most talked-about boardwalks in the world, spectacular beaches, and award-winning structures.

Top Hotels in Atlantic City

Curate a custom Atlantic City vacation package from our array of convenient airfare and luxury and affordable hotels. Consider these guest favorites as you plan your getaway.

• Tropicana Casino & Resort: The stained glass and marble columns in the Tropicana may have you convinced you’re in the midst of a religious experience. But no matter your belief system, one thing is for sure: the beautiful décor, in-house luxury shopping, and stellar location are just a few of this hotel’s best features. Walk to the historic Atlantic City Boardwalk and add a splash of high culture to your ocean view with an evening at Dante Hall Theater of the Arts.
• The Claridge - A Radisson Hotel: Every stay at The Claridge is a stately affair. From the vintage furnishings to the glittering chandeliers, even the smallest details are classic and refined. Located between two piers and just a block from the waterfront, this hotel is also the perfect place to be when you want to kick up your heels on the boardwalk or splash around in the sea.
• Harrah's Resort Atlantic: When a little grownup fun is what you seek, just look for the purple-lit exterior of this Harrah’s Resort. Enjoy playing the on-site slots and other gaming options just steps from your room, or take advantage of the proximity to Steel Pier and Snug Harbor—the latter of which isn’t as cozy as its name, but it does have lovely views.
• The Chelsea: When you want lavish, you stay at The Chelsea. The hotel marquee is, in a word, fabulous, and the interior is just as glam. Enjoy the ocean view from your room or sit back and close your eyes for a massage, body treatment, or facial at the in-house spa. When you do venture outdoors, walk along the sand or shop you way through the Pier Shops at Caesars in search of an elegant memento.
