Published: October 2022

Atlantic City is known the world over for offering the best gambling, nightlife, and dining on the East Coast. Each year, 27 million people flock to Atlantic City to experience everything it has to offer. From its iconic beach boardwalk built in 1870 to an array of casinos, golf courses, and clubs, there’s no wonder AC has been dubbed “America’s playground.”

Ocean Casino Resort is Atlantic City at its best, capturing the city’s spirit by providing each of its guests with an unforgettable experience. At Ocean Casino Resort, there’s something for everyone––the hottest pool parties, contemporary cuisine, and spectacular shows.

From an endless nightlife, a sprawling casino, to a never ending deluge of entertainment, we’re inviting you through our doors to witness the grandeur of our haven.

#1 Nonstop Nightlife

As one of the dashing Atlantic City vacation resorts that treats nightlife like a lifestyle, OCR offers access to:

HQ2 Nightclub and Beach Club
Nola’s Bar & Lounge
1927 Lounge
Villain & Saint

If you’re looking for a peaty whiskey in a classy bar, a night on the dancefloor, or a rock-n-roll dinner, it’s time to choose your own adventure as soon as you check in.
HQ2 Nightclub and Beach Club

OCR’s sickest nightclub HQ2 stands above the rest with its two levels of action. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, guests will find the most popular DJs and exciting celebrity appearances.

Sicka Than Yo Average Thursdays are a can’t miss event here. On top of a new DJ every week, guests enjoy sicka prices like $5 drink specials and $250 bottles.

During the day, clubbers can migrate outside to the HQ2 beach club where the party is kept alive poolside as thumping music and wavy vibes fill the atmosphere.

Nola’s Bar & Lounge

Voted Best Lounge in Casino Player’s Best of Dining & Nightlife Awards 2022, this 2,800-square-foot venue is a perfect spot to start or end the night. As for its popularity, below are a few artists who’ve performed on Nola’s stage include:
