From sophisticated dining options to sizzling dance clubs and, of course, our world-renowned gaming floor, there are plenty of activities to enjoy at Ocean Casino Resort. And, when you come to Atlantic City ready to bet, dine, and dance the night away, you’ll want an outfit that works for everything you’ve got planned. 

Tanks, t-shirts, and tuxedos alike are welcome on our gaming floor—although our most upscale nightlife spot has a dress code. Besides, a night at Ocean Casino Resort is an occasion to get dressed up for. 

Let’s consider what to wear for a day at the casino, explore some style tips for the club, and find out where to get the hottest threads at Ocean Casino Resort. Read on and suit up—soon you’ll dress to impress even the highest of rollers. 

Dressing for a Day of Dining, Bets, and Fun

As mentioned, there’s no formal dress code on the casino floor—but that doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn't pay attention to what you wear. You should consider what you want to do and pick appropriate clothing to match.

With so much fun to be had at Ocean Casino Resort, however, that leaves you with a plethora of potential outfits to choose from. Let’s narrow it down by considering some of our most popular activities:

• Betting on the gaming floor, The Cove, or elsewhere on the property – While, in the past, casinos conjured up images of tuxedoed men and women in their finest cocktail dresses, fashion choices have changed in recent decades. Now, you can wear whatever best expresses your personality—whether it's a suit, jeans and a T-shirt, shorts, or anything else. Just be sure it’s comfortable enough for extended table matches and warm enough for our air-conditioned complex.
• Swinging the sticks at TopGolf Swing Suite, Bar and Kitchen – It’s not necessary to rock a polo at TopGolf Swing Suite, Bar and Kitchen but, if you want to feel like you’re getting in a real 18 holes, it adds extra authenticity to the round. 
• Taking in a match at one of our sports bars – Whether you’re cheering in The Gallery Bar, Book and Games or enjoying the VIP experience at Balcony Bar, wearing your team’s colors or jersey is the best way to get into the spirit of the game. 
• Dining at any of our exquisite eateries – There are no formal dress codes for any of Ocean Casino Resort’s restaurants. If you’re eating at one of our fine dining options, however—such as Amada, Linguini by the Sea, or Ocean Steak—a collared shirt or nice dress wouldn’t seem out of place.

Another factor to consider when dressing is the weather. Atlantic City can be cold and windy during fall and winter, so bundle up and bring a coat if you want to enjoy the world-famous boardwalk or outdoor areas of our property. Similarly, summer can be bright and balmy in AC, so dress lightly and cover your skin if you’re coming during the hotter months.

How to Dress for HQ2 Nightclub

HQ2 Nightclub is the only spot in Ocean Casino Resort with a formal dress code. With widely-known DJs, craft cocktails, and VIP party packages, it’s Atlantic City’s premier upscale nightlife experience and worth dressing up for. 

HQ2’s dress code is aptly described as upscale fashionable and, when you stop by for an unforgettable night of dancing and fun, it’s best to dress to the nines. The following clothing items are strictly prohibited within HQ2:

• Hats

• Flip flops
• Running shoes
