Check out four unique activities below that will elevate your date night into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your first date or your five hundredth, these ideas are sure to score major points with your significant other. 

Dance the Night Away at One of Ocean Casino Resort’s Lively Nightlife Venues

If you’ve got the jitterbug and really want to show your date your slick moves, lace up your dancing shoes and get down to Ocean Casino Resort! No matter your style of music, we’ve got a dancefloor waiting for you at:

  • HQ2 Nightclub – HQ2 Nightclub is Atlantic City’s party palace! With multiple levels to explore, divine drinks to enjoy, and the most diverse selection of DJs AC has to offer, there’s no better place to take your date’s hand and ask for a dance.
  • Nola’s Bar & Lounge – If live music is more your pace, look no further than Nola’s Bar & Lounge. With tons of local talent—including a mix of local bands and DJs—there’s never a gap in the fun. Plus, craft beers and craveable cocktails keep the party pumping all night long.
  • Villain & Saint – Rock n’ roll is the name of the game at Villain & Saint. For fans of toe-tapping, bass-pumping live shows—plus beers from around the globe, elevated pub fare, and more—there’s no better place to get your groove on. 

Walk AC’s World-Famous Boardwalk for Breathtaking Atlantic Vistas

Ocean Casino Resort spans over 20 oceanfront acres alongside the Atlantic—including a long stretch of AC’s historic boardwalk. Grab your date’s arm and stroll toward Steel Pier or Waterside Market to take in all the beauty the city has to offer. 

As you walk, you’ll be treated to some of the most stunning ocean views you’ll ever lay eyes on. Find a romantic spot to talk together, grab an ice cream to enjoy as you walk, or simply sit and take in nature’s majesty—you may just feel time slip away as you appreciate the sheer vastness of the ocean in front of you.
