This summer, I had the chance to go to Atlantic City, New Jersey for the first time. I honestly had no idea what to expect but I have only heard good things about it from my friends. Now, I am glad that I went because I had an amazing time and would definitely go back! Here are some of the places and things that we got to do in AC. Not only did I get to have fun experiences here but I also got the chance to meet Brody Jenner!
Sheraton Hotel
I went with my sister and her friends on this trip and we stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. This was a really nice hotel that is located within walking distance of the Tanger Outlets and the Boardwalk. I felt like it was the perfect distance from everything. The cost wasn’t even that much because I split it with my sister and her friend so that we really had to spend $200 for the weekend each. You can get it for a lot cheaper when staying with more people. I liked staying at this hotel because we could party all night but still come back to a quiet hotel.
Tropicana
My sister’s friends stayed at this hotel. This hotel had everything. There were floors full of casinos and tables for blackjack and poker. I don’t know much about this because I never played it before but if you are someone who loves this then this is definitely for you. I attempted to risk my five dollars on one of the slot machines, got mad because I didn’t win anything, and gave up. So that was the end of that. There were also tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping. Next time I go, I might even consider staying here.
Tanger Outlets
While exploring after getting to our hotel, we immediately came across these outlets located right outside. This outlet has so much shopping that it felt like I was in heaven but I had to control myself since I had to save my money for the nightlife. They had stores such as Charlotte Russe, H&M, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, and more! If you are looking to get any shopping done while you are in Atlantic City, then make sure you stop by here.
Boardwalk and the Beach
Since I had a really busy summer, this was my first time going to the beach for this year. It was definitely well spent at this beach where there were tons of camera-ready moments. The Boardwalk had tons of shopping, restaurants, and even psychic readings. Turns out I am going to live a long and healthy life till almost a hundred so that was comforting to hear. I even had a delicious red velvet cupcake at Boardwalk Cupcakes where they had a ton of different flavors to choose from.
Bungalow
This beach bar was one of my favorite spots when we went out one night. There were tables you could sit at and have a drink or request hookah. This bar was located right on the boardwalk and it faces the ocean. I had an awesome time on the dance floor here.
The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort
This was definitely the highlight of my whole trip! This nightlife destination has the largest indoor pool party. Celebrities are constantly making appearances such as Amber Rose, Jesse McCartney, Havana Brown, Kesha, DJ Pauly D, and even Brody Jenner! I had the chance to personally meet and take a picture with Brody Jenner since he was the one making an appearance that night. As I made my way pushing people left and right in the crowd to get to the front, I finally became face to face with him. He had that celebrity glow as he looked at me as I screamed in his face, “Brody take a picture with me!” He took a picture with me and I did not know what possessed me next when I starting grabbing at his biceps like he was a toy.
As I was manhandling him, he looked confused but then winked at me so I guess it was alright. Looking back, I am completely embarrassed and I hope that next time I run into a celebrity that I don’t freak out like that again. Besides getting that amazing picture, I got to dance all night in the huge club. There was a giant pool in the middle and plenty of places to dance. People were dancing in the pool, around the pool, and at the bars. Thank god I didn’t get thrown in the pool. We stayed there for hours and it was honestly one of the best nights!
