Atlantic City is home to all nine of New Jersey’s licensed casino properties, making it one of the most concentrated casino markets in the United States. Every casino in the state sits within the city limits, along two distinct corridors: the famous Boardwalk on the Atlantic Ocean and the Marina District along the bay to the north.
The Boardwalk corridor stretches along the Atlantic Ocean and gives Atlantic City its most recognizable identity. Six of the nine casinos are located on or immediately adjacent to the Boardwalk: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 1000 Boardwalk, Ocean Casino Resort at 500 Boardwalk, Caesars Atlantic City at 2100 Pacific Ave (steps from the Boardwalk at Arkansas Avenue), Tropicana Atlantic City at 2831 Boardwalk at the southern end, Bally’s Atlantic City at 1900 Pacific Ave (at Park Place and the Boardwalk), and Resorts Casino Hotel at 1133 Boardwalk at the northern end.
The Marina District sits roughly a mile north and west of the Boardwalk, near the bay and the Atlantic City Expressway terminus. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, and Golden Nugget Atlantic City are all located here. The Marina District is generally considered more upscale and self-contained, with larger hotel towers, more dedicated parking, and a somewhat quieter atmosphere than the Boardwalk strip.
The Atlantic City Boardwalk is the world’s oldest, dating to 1870. Walking the Boardwalk between casinos is free, pleasant in good weather, and offers ocean views along the way. The stretch between Resorts at the north and Tropicana at the south is approximately two miles. Most major Boardwalk casino entrances face the Boardwalk directly, and the famous AC Jitney offers fixed-route transit for $3 along Atlantic Avenue and through both corridors.
Hard Rock is one of the most distinctive properties on the Boardwalk. The former Trump Taj Mahal was completely renovated and reopened in June 2018 under Hard Rock International’s management.
