Atlantic City!!

Hey Ladies,

My DH and I decided to do a fun weekend in AC for our one year anniversary! We aren't going crazy, but definitely want to relax and enjoy ourselves. We are on the fence about where to stay? Any recommendations?? We also might do a couples massage, so please let me know if anyone has to been to certain spa's at various hotels.

Thanks!!

I love Harrahs.

The pool area is like a little Oasis!

And the rooms are nice too

Thanks Ladies! Isn't Harrah's off the boardwalk? I have never been to AC so I am clueless. I thought being on the Boardwalk is better. Also, if I call to make a reservation and mention it's my anniversary you think they could upgrade us or throw in some free stuff? haha thanks!!

Harrahs and Borgatta are off the Boardwalk, but they're awesome hotels.

Since this is your first time going to AC, then it would be nice for you to stay on the Boardwalk, so I suggest Showboat. I stayed there a couple times before discovering Harrahs and I liked it. Rooms were good and they have the House of Blues restaurant which is MmMmMMmmm. Plus they have a lobster buffet some days!

You should def try to get a little extra out of them by mentioning you anniversary! Why not?? lol I think from now on, DH and I are going to tell everyone it's our HM!

My favorite casino on the boardwalk is Ceasar's. I love it there!!

Most of the casinos wont give you free stuff...they'll give you comps when you gamble. I've tried to get discounted group rates (and then they were all 'your group isn't big enough) and tried to get into the gyms for free but they wont budge. You might have better luck

showboat is nice but i wouldn't do the spa there ... or what they call a spa ... unless it's been upgraded since i went a year ago in jan ... it was the worst 'spa' i've ever been to ...
