AC hotel recs for a NNJ gal?

Mrs.LB705

I'm planning to take my hubs there for his bday in February, but I haven't been in YEARS and don't know what's a nice place to stay/eat/play anymore.  Borgata is one possibility, but where have you been that is NICE (not divey!) for playing and staying?

THANKS!

Personally I like Tropicana. Not as uptight of an atmosphere and fun bars and nice restaurants.

I like the Borgata and also The Chelsea.  My husband and I stayed there last year and we loved it.  Just make sure you stay in the Luxe tower, as the rooms are nicer.  There isnt a casino in it, but it is literally a 2 minute walk next door to go to the Tropicana.

Ditto Tropicana.  They have some good restaurants there and the rooms are decent.

You can't go wrong with Caesar's or Bally's - plus, they're close to everything.

The Borgata is awesome but very secluded. And I've stayed in the Chelsea (Luxe tower ONLY), and it's awesome... but as Krista mentioned, it's a non-gaming hotel, but the Tropicana is right there.

I'd say Caesars or the Chelsea. We stayed at the Chelsea and loved it, and like PP's said - it's a very short walk to the Trop. I actually preferred it because most of the other casinos can be a pretty long walk to the hotel section. With the Chelsea - you walk in and go right up to your room.

We've stayed at the Trop, Caesars (i think) and the Borgata.  Out of the three I would pick the Borgata.  I also think the Chelsea is darling but have yet to stay there.  The next time we stay overnight we will stay at the Chelsea most likely.

We stayed at the Trump Executive Towers right after they opened in September 08 and it was awesome. The bed was the most incredible bed I have ever slept in. We called it the "cloud bed" and I never wanted to leave it! The bathroom was all marble and had this great vanity area I want to re-create at home. We ate at the Melting Pot on the Walk which was a short cab ride and it was very romantic. Have a great time where ever you end up!!!

I usually just stay at the Ballys.  The rooms are pretty standard.
