What: Boogie Nights Nightclub – 70′s and 80′s Retro Experience
Where: Resorts Casino Atlantic City, NJ (2nd floor)
When: Friday and Saturday nights 9pm til
Boogie Nights 70′s and 80′s Retro Club in Atlantic City is the best place to party at the Jersey Shore. A flashback experience like no other awaits you. Located inside Resorts Casino and connected via sky-walk to the Taj Mahal and Showboat casinos.
The Music – even the 20 somethings know the best songs from the 70′s and 80′s. All of the sudden, bam, a song you loved back in the day is on and you start migrating to the dance floor. From “Y.M.C.A.” – Village People (1979) to “Get Down Tonight” – KC & the Sunshine Band (1975) and great songs of the 1980′s.
The Crowd – This scene is very relaxed and enjoyable. The music and the experience breaks down all barriers and allows everyone to have a great time. You’ll find people of all ages from the early 20′s to the late 40′s. Nicely dressed, good looking people, especially hot cougars are a plenty.
The DJ- Unlike a modern club, requests are virtually impossible to played, at Boogie Nights, the DJ ensures your requests get played and that everyone is on the dance floor at all times. You can request Shout Outs for a small gratuity, which adds to the excitement of the night.
Table & Bottle Service- If you want to chill in style, try either preferred Table Seating next to the dance floor or the VIP Booths behind the DJ. Both have liquor minimums but not bad. Special packages are available for Bachelorettes and Bachelor Parties.
Streakers & Roller Girls- This is wild. The roller girls are extremely sexy, wearing short shorts and skimpy tops, they will make the men’s head spin. Be aware of the streaker, a completely nude, really hot guy may pop up behind you and run through the crowd at different times of the night, especially be aware of the song “The Streak” for the potential of a hot streaker.
Front of Line Passes – You can find Boogie Nights Front of the Line Passes online, this saves you about 45 minutes on a busy night because you bypass the line and go directly to the VIP Line to the left of the podium. Check the link above for VIP Access to Boogie Nights.
For the reasons we feature above and the fact that hot Cougars and Swingers are everywhere, you’ll enjoy the music and the entire Boogie Nights Atlantic City experience! I’ll see you there this Friday or Saturday night!
Around this time of year, among the most frequent requests I get are my opinions on the city’s nightclubs. Nightlife in Atlantic City has been on a huge upswing over the last five years or so – right along with the expansion in restaurants logically would follow an expansion of nightlife. Restaurants, nightlife, and shopping – the holy trinity of non-gaming attractions. Here’s the skinny on some of Atlantic City’s better post-dinner venues.
DUSK at Caesars – Newest and #1 Rated in AC
Atlantic City’s “Hottest” and newest nightclub located Caesars Atlantic City. One of the Original Partners was DJ AM who passed away in 2009. The most interesting aspect of Dusk nightclub is it’s layout. The design is a series of concentric ovals, with two full bars encircling the outermost ring and the DJ booth (AKA Dusk’s central command center) is located in the center. You’ll find comfortable private booths surrounding the dance floor, where most clubs don’t have them, front and center. You’ll find cool spinning lights hanging from the ceiling emitting vivid, electric colors that flash to the beat of the music. The lighting experience is impressive, you’ll be amazed. What really sets Dusk apart from other Atlantic City nightclubs are its escape routes. For example If you need a smoke or some freesh air or want to talk elsewhere, the DUSK connects to a gated, outdoor patio area that’s easily accessed without having to gain re-entry into the main club. You’ll also find the Dawn room, a cool looking separate space within the main club that has a more relaxed feeling, complete with private tables, this is where you want to escape when getting closer with your date.
The Fifth at the Chelsea Nightclub Experience
The 5th floor at the Chelsea Hotel is a happening nightlife experience. C5 is really trendy inside bar and nightclub that is sure to please players of all ages. The Cabana Club is the outdoor nightlife experience surrounding the pool on the 5th floor. Great outdoor bar, live music or DJ. You may want to work on getting on the VIP list as the lines on Saturday nights tend to be long. Have fun and enjoy the 5th at Chealsea (c5 and Cabana Bar).
Casbah at the Taj Mahal
Every nightclub claims that they are the one spot that you go to in order to be seen by the socialite crowd. Casbah lays that claim as well, but they have more of a right to do so. Casbah is the granddaddy of AC nightlife, and at one point way back in the day it was the only nightclub located within a casino. The enormous space with a seemingly nonexistent ceiling is ringed by catwalks, in which dance the famed Casbah Girls. They’re famous for one reason: they’re hot. Nuff said. The crowd also tends to be more of the young, hip, well-dressed variety that also knows their way around a dance floor. Bring your rhythm when you go here – if you don’t, you’ll be the only one without. Drinks can run on the expensive side, especially when you’re buying round after round for that hot (and not over-dressed) bachelorette party that you’re looking for some VIP treatment from. Ladies never pay a cover, so the proverbial fishing lake is always well-stocked. In summer, Casbah will typically put about 4,000 people thru the door on any given Saturday night. Happy hunting, gentlemen.
The Pool at Harrahs – The Pool After Dark
Who would have thought that the Pool at Harrah’s would turn into a successful nightclub venue in Atlantic City. Most people that have been there for themed party or on a Friday or Saturday night have said it was incredible. Great music, fabulous cocktails, beautiful bikini clad waitresses and bartenders and a whole lot of good looking men and women. Check with Harrah’s directly for the latest party schedule for The Pool, we guarantee a hot night for everyone !
Looking for Cougars? If you love a 70 & 80′s Flashback, you have to check out Boogie Nights at Resorts Casino! You can dance to your favorite Retro Flashback songs from the 70′s and 80′s every Friday and Saturday night. If you have great memories like I do, from the 70′s and 80′s don’t miss Boogie Nights at Resorts. See you there. Cougar Town in Atlantic City.
32 Degrees Quarter at the Tropicana
32 Degrees Luxe Lounge, known to the in-crowd that frequents it as just “32”, is a small and swanky lounge on the third floor of the Quarter at Tropicana. The interior has two bars with seating, but the prime real estate is the booths and tables where the sole purpose is to be seen. 32 is absolutely the place to go to debut those new designer clothes – it’s one of the few places in Atlantic City where both male and female fashion knowledge along with coveted expensive labels might be recognized and get you respect.
On weekend nights you will probably find just as many people waiting to get in as are already in the lounge, so you might want to consider calling ahead and booking bottle service. The smarts of calling ahead are directly proportional to the size of your group: if you have 15 people and show up no-notice, you can rightfully expect to wait. 32 Degrees offers VIP bottle service (609-572-0032, www.32lounge.com) where you can buy a bottle of booze and guarantee yourself a table. High-end service, a beautiful wait staff and a jet-set crowd are the fundamentals of getting in and hanging out. Tell Brian the VIP Manager that the Mole sent you – he and I go back a few years.
Blue Martini at Bally’s
This dark, chic setting located at the Boardwalk entrance off Bally’s casino floor offers more than 100 variations of martinis, top-shelf liquor, live music and a bar with a built-in frosted ice rail. Blue Martini had the first ice rail in town (before Red Square) and live entertainment is offered Fridays and Saturdays. Atlantic City Nightclubs
Besides live entertainment, there’s the three 60-inch plasma screens located along the wall behind the bar. Blue Martini features 26 vodkas from 12 countries and a catalog of more than 100 designer flavored martinis ranging from watermelon to chocolate. All martinis are presented and shaken at the table. Those same martinis are half-price Monday thru Friday from 5 to 7pm, making for one of the best happy hours in town.
Don’t think that Blue Martini is solely for the martini enthusiast. Single-malt Scotches, small batch Bourbons and a wine by the glass menu accent the martini catalog to create a well-rounded selection of high-end choices.
Blue Martini is open seven days a week and seats 125. It’s a great bar, but that’s all. There’s not much room to dance to the music, so it’s more of a relaxed sit-down atmosphere.
Club Escape (Formerly Deja Vu)
This multi-level dance club is dark, mysterious and packed to the walls almost every weekend night. The music ranges from House, Progressive House, Club and Disco Classics, all played on a 20,000 watt sound system that will make your bones and your rump shake. Club Escape is an upscale establishment with a liberal but strictly enforced dress code (no jeans, no sneakers). Scantily clad shot girls & guys roam the various neon sectors of the club. Club Escape offers six inside bars, three levels and a late-night kitchen serving sandwiches, snacks, pizza or seafood. Open 9pm-5am, and the cover charge varies from $10-$20 after 11pm. The crowds here in general may be lighter and the atmosphere more laid back than in the casino-based clubs, and the entertainment staff is not opposed to switching the vibe to a more hip-hop type if so requested.
Game On Pier at Caesars
While not a full-time nightclub, Game On! offers bottle service after 10pm in addition to the bar, HD monitors, and existing menu. Most of the seated areas (booths, skyboxes) except for the bar have a one bottle or two cases of beer rule during late night. Bottle service and everything else that Game On! is famous for, plus the city’s only mechanical bull – I smell a winner.
10Til AC Hilton
Hilton’s new Saturday-night-only venue caters to an older nightlife (think 35 to 55 instead of 21 to 35) crowd. Their rather hot jazz singer was on this month’s cover of CityAtlantic, and just about everyone in town has been asking where she has been all my life. 10Til, formerly known as the Chairman’s Club, is the place where you can actually hear the music and you won’t need to scream across the table to your date. For just a $10 cover, that’s a great deal. Also featured here is the spectacular wraparound ocean view and leather furniture. Said Phil Juliano, senior regional vice president of marketing for the Hilton and Resorts Atlantic City. “It’s an adult nightclub experience that focuses on good food, great entertainment, quality desserts and fine cocktails,” “There’s going to be top-notch hors d’oeuvres, fine wines, champagnes … things we know patrons desire.”
Mixx at Borgata
There are a few people out there who still gripe about Mixx eliminating its food service (tapas and sushi, how we miss ye), but nobody complains when the doors open on Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm. Those doors don’t close until the party’s over, and there’s plenty of action to be had between the dance floor, the bar, and the VIP bottle service that such hotshots as Howard Stern and Billy Crystal have made use of. Despite the Borgata’s opening of mur.mur just across the property, Mixx is still a club that you can go to just to be seen. Its hip factor is still alive and well.
Mur.mur Borgata
Borgata had to open a second club because one premium nightlife venue simply wasn’t enough in the building that locals have dubbed “Vegas East”. Mur.mur is a standout among local clubs because it fills a niche that no one else had: Mondays. “Mur.mur Mondays” have been the talk of the town since they started, since it gives weeknight city guests, conventioneers, and local industry workers who have weekdays off a place to party should the need arise. Mur.mur, just like its sister Mixx, is open 10pm until whenever on Fridays and Saturdays, with Mondays added on at Mur.mur.
Planet Rose
Another entry in the “not completely a nightclub” file, Planet Rose Karaoke Bar is the only full-time karaoke spot in the city, always ready to go for when you’ve had one too many and the inspiration to channel Neil Diamond kicks in. In addition, Planet Rose hosts the Men of the Cave male revue show on Saturday nights, making it a bachelorette magnet. Liquor, karaoke, and bachelorettes: what else could you ask for? This venue is small, but what in lacks in size it more than makes up for in personality.
There’s the story on the club scene in Atlantic City – like the city itself, it’s Always Turned On, and a visitor should have no trouble finding what suits their taste.

Sammy’s Beach Formerly Bikini Beach Bar – Bally’s casino
Hilton Beach Bar
The Cabana Club – Chelsea Hotel
The Deck – Trump Marina
With the arrival of summer at the South Jersey Shore, so comes another season of fun on the Atlantic City Beaches. If lounging around, people watching, or worshipping the sun doesn’t fit your bill, a handful of Atlantic City’s casinos offer the perfect alternative: beaches plus adult beverages and live music. At night these waterfront watering holes turn into exciting nightclubs and Atlantic City live music venues.
Beach bars in Atlantic City are a hot item, and they were almost legislated out of existence a few years ago by a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ruling that would have seen all the bars have last call if not for the casinos doing some tweaking. The DEP was alarmed over the bars’ size as related to beach encroachment, which resulted in the casinos adapting to the ruling and in some cases losing their bars. The beach that at one point had seven bars on it now has but three, thanks to the aforementioned DEP ruling and the unfortunate demise of Nikki Beach at Resorts. From what the Mole heard at the time, the Nikki Beach people were supposedly infamous for doing little to no market research before opening. They would negotiate a deal and set up at a location perceived to be a hotspot at the time (Atlantic City definitely qualifies as such) and build their establishment. The market research thing came back to bite Nikki’s fine behind, as they only lasted one season on our sands. There was a rumor floating around for a time after Nikki Beach packed up and left town that Borgata had offered them some kind of relocation deal, but as good as Borgata is in numerous areas, someone forgot to tell the ladies and gentlemen there that they don’t have an attractive parcel of beach to work with, and the name of the potential client was Nikki Beach, and its offering in question was a beach bar. No punch line needed.
And so, back in present times, we move on to covering where sand, surf, booze, and bodies converge: the Atlantic City – South Jersey beach bars. We start at the southern end of our casino strip, at Hilton’s Beach Bar. Hilton’s bar is the only of the three left standing that is built on the Boardwalk side of the sand dunes, meaning that while it’s a very clean and well-run operation, the sea breeze tends not to reach into the bar area, and there’s next to nothing in the way of an ocean view. Having said that, Hilton still gets props because of the cleanliness, the overall operation, and let’s not forget the cigars. Smokers rejoice; the bar is outside. Outside equals no ban. Hilton’s Beach Bar will open daily until Labor Day from 11:30am-10pm, and has both DJ’s and live music. Speaking of DJ’s, ageless wonder Jerry Blavat broadcasts live from 5-7pm on Friday nights. The Hilton Beach Bar is Hot Hot Hot!
Moving north, we come next to the Trump Plaza Beach Bar, at Mississippi and the Boardwalk. The Plaza took advantage of the beach bar craze when it first started back in 2002, and its 15,000 square foot imprint is the largest in town. Open daily at 11:30am in season for those who like their frozen fruity things to arrive with lunch, Plaza’s bar has a full kitchen and several private areas available for rental. You can find everything from karaoke on Thursday nights or maybe even the occasional nuptial. The Trump Plaza’s beach can and does support weddings. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are no slouch here, between a Friday night dance party, Saturday live bands starting at 1pm, and Sunday being Motown Night. Trump Plaza is also your spot if you fancy a drink on the beach after dinner or a show: they close at midnight on weekdays and at 2am on Friday and Saturday. >> Schedule of Events >> Trump Plaza Beach Bar is the Rated “Best Waterfront Bar in Atlantic City” by both visitors and locals alike. More Info
Last but certainly not least at Ohio and the Wooden Way (Boardwalk) is Sammy’s Beach Formerly Bally’s Bikini Beach Bar. Among the highlights at the Bally’s Atlantic City offering are those that are true to its name: the bikini-clad servers. That alone should make it worth a stop. DJ’s spin from 4pm to close on weekdays, and live music on the weekends. It offers a full menu plus a cut-down version of the menu from the famed Pickles deli, along with eight beachfront cabanas. Bally’s Bikini Beach Bar Hotline = 609-340-2909. Get updated special event information, weather report and more.
Finally, regarding beach cabanas: a bunch of people wonder how those cabanas get booked and how far in advance you have to reserve. Here’s a tip: the cabanas are easy as sin to get weekdays, meaning Monday thru Thursday. Just pay the fee. The only weekdays that those cabanas will be hard to get is the 4th of July and the two airshow days. Otherwise, you should be OK in reserving the day of or day before. On the weekends, as with anything else in our town, the game changes completely. Those cabanas, no matter what property they belong to, are usually occupied by the wives and kids of that property’s massive gamblers. Cabanas on the beach are almost nothing more than an extension of the hotel’s suite-upgrade policy: fine for all during the week, restrictive as sin come Friday and Saturday.
As a side note, we feel it’s necessary to include the Deck at the Trump Marina a outdoor bar, nightclub and restaurant. You’ll experience one of Atlantic City’s best outdoor bar / live music venue. Have Fun and Enjoy your next trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Cabana Club at the Chelsea on the 5th Floor is another outdoor experience you don’t want to miss. Live music or a hot DJ, go inside to C5 or mingle around the pool in outdoor setting overlooking Atlantic City.

“The Walk” – Atlantic City Outlets is the 8th largest Retail “Outlet” shopping destination in the United States featuring more than 85 stores and is growing.
The Walk AC Outlets to Expand Again – Phase III!
The Phase 3 expansion of “The Walk” Atlantic City Outlets will cost $15 million and add 45,000 square feet of retail space and as many as 12 outlet stores. The new Phase III expansion will immediately create about 400 construction jobs and more than another 300 permanent jobs after new stores start opening, possibly as soon as the end of this summer. A major part of the funding, $9-million, will come from a loan by CRDA / Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
CRDA is also planning to build a $30 million parking garage at the corner of Fairmount and Mississippi avenues, adjacent to the third phase. The 1,200-space garage is expected to be completed in early 2011.
The location of the Phase III expansion is currently open space, and is bordered by Christopher Columbus Boulevard and Fairmount ave, Mississippi and Arctic avenues, near the foot of the Atlantic City Expressway. The project site near the foot of the Atlantic City Expressway will start very shortly in 2010.
The current Owners and Developers of “The Walk” Atlantic City Outlets is Baltimore’s Cordish Company. They are developers of several major retail projects in the US, including “The Walk” outlet center in Atlantic City, NJ. The Walk opened in 2003 and is the 8th largest retail outlet center in the United States by gross leasable square feet, retail shopping industry reports show.
Announcements relating to the Phase 4 Expansion of “The Walk” Atlantic City Outlets are trickling in and it looks as though Cordish will creat an “Atlantic City Live” Experience similar to other Cordish brands: Power Plant
Live! in Baltimore, Fourth Street Live! in Louisville, Ky., and KC Live! in Kansas City, Mo.. It will include more retail space, nightclubs, comedy clubs, a bowling alley, outdoor concert venue, new restrooms and an creative element of live entertainment among other things as unveiled by David S. Cordish, chairman of the Baltimore, MD based Cordish Co.
Steel Pier Amusements given two-year stay, signed through through summer 2012!
The rumors of the end of world famous Steel Pier’s life as we know it were greatly exaggerated: the pier’s current iteration has been extended thru the summer of 2012. The two-year reprieve came after a slew of articles in the winter of 2009 celebrating what was then a one-year extension. Those articles made numerous references to 2009 being the pier’s swan song, and citing the redevelopment that pier owner Donald Trump has in mind. Said redevelopment was covered in an earlier Mole post, and has been publicly said to be a hotel/condo/retail complex. It’s totally safe to assume that the Pier’s life extension is probably a combined result of the Trump machine running into a one-two punch of regulatory issues and the notoriously horrible credit market of recent times. Despite those problems, design work is still thought to be under way. It’ll be a sad day indeed when Steel Pier is forced to cease operations, as the Catanoso family and a supporting cast of hundreds over the years have done wonders and performed miracles to keep family entertainment available in a decidedly over-21 market. In the Mole’s (and likely many others) humble opinion, the loss of Steel Pier, whenever it does regrettably come to pass, can not be categorized as “in the name of progress”. One would hope that some prominent place in whatever Trump ends up building on the site gets a hefty helping of the Steel Pier historical treatment: a photo gallery, several plaques, artifacts under glass, etc. Steel Pier is an icon. Icons should endure, even if not in their completely original form.
The Steel Pier Atlantic City was originally made famous from it’s Diving Horse show in the 1970′s along with being a first class amusement and concert venue for major stars! Currently the Steel PierFeatures a Rocket Ride, Ferris Wheel, Helicopter Tour of Atlantic City and many games and rides for kids of all ages!
Rides and Features! The Steel Pier features new innovative Live Thrill Shows – Motorcycle Globe and the Motorcycle High Wire Trapeze appearing daily during the summer.
