It’s a non-stop party at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, a fun-for-all resort with bachelorette-friendly attractions. The DAER Nightclub lures big-name DJs and MCs, while the Etess Arena has a festival-worthy bill of bands and artists. There’s also a large casino and a raft of restaurants and bars. When the group finally hits the wall, there’s a rock-inspired spa with 31 treatment rooms and a mixed pool area with a hydrotherapy tub and specialty shower.

The Sheraton is a great choice for a more grown-up bachelorette celebration. Spend your days relaxing by the lounger-lined indoor pool, or by the seasonal outdoor whirlpool and sun deck. The on-site brewpub and bar has the drinks sorted, and there’s Boulevards Cafe for a buffet breakfast with views over the Atlantic City skyline. When you want to turn things up a notch, the Boardwalk is a short cab ride away.

Let’s be honest: Atlantic City is just one big nightclub. Here are the best places to dance the night away.
Harrah's After Dark

The Pool at Harrah’s After Dark is wet and wild fun. Wear your fanciest bikini and take a dip while you boogie to guest DJs (and keep an eye out for famous faces!). For the bride-to-be, reserve a private whirlpool or head upstairs for bottle service and private blackjack games.
Gypsy Bar
Bar, Pub Grub
Boogie Nights
Nightclub, Cocktails
If you long for the days of disco and hot pants, there’s only one place to be. Boogie Nights, in the heart of Tropicana, plays all the golden oldies and invites you to dance till you drop under a giant disco ball.
