The proof’s in the numbers: Atlantic City has bounced back in a big way. According to this report, the city’s nine casinos raked in $237.5 million of gambling revenue last month. But what makes the figure even more promising is it’s not just a sizable increase from October 2020 – it’s nearly 48% higher than what was generated in October 2019 before the pandemic.

And while the holiday season should be a time filled with joy and cheer, many of us instead can feel overwhelmed, overextended, and overworked. That’s when Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City enters the picture.

An easy drive from New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., the 17-acre resort on the legendary Atlantic City boardwalk offers far more than world-class gaming (120 table games, 2,250 modern slot machines, Sportsbook). In fact, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City has something for everybody – whether you travel with good eating in mind, or want to kick back to live entertainment.

Though Atlantic City is obviously known for being a lively destination, Hard Rock encourages guests to chill out even further with a pulsing 24/7 playlist – when else could you eat a bagel to Led Zeppelin’s The Immigrant Song before 9:00 a.m. – and plenty of eye-catching music memorabilia on display, including a Topshop ensemble Beyoncé wore for New York Fashion Week and Elvis Presley’s 1963 Rolls Royce Phantom V.

With over 15 food and beverage outlets ranging from casual to formal, guests are spoiled for choice. Standouts include Il Mulino New York – where heaps of complimentary antipasti await – and the newly-opened, seafood-centric Sandpiper Coastal Bar & Grill. Have a sweet tooth? You’ll flip for Sugar Factory’s infamous $99 King Kong Sundae. For something quick, head to White House Subs. An offshoot of the Atlantic City icon, this location whips up the same legendary White House Specials (Frank Sinatra’s favorite sandwich loaded with Italian cold cuts, provolone cheese, and chopped peppers) and cheesesteaks on Formica Bros. rolls.

Since rest and recovery are crucial after indulging and excess, book a session at Rock Spa & Salon. Encompassing a whopping 50,000 square feet with 31 treatment rooms, the renowned spa is in a class of its own. While the traditional facials and massages are no slouch, try a signature Rhythm & Motion treatment like the Synchronicity massage – where your therapist applies pressure in sync with the curated soundtrack for a wholly original experience.

In time for the holidays, live entertainment is finally back with Earth, Wind & Fire, Penn & Teller, and Marie Osmond on December’s calendar. And to make staying at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City even more enticing this season, the resort is offering a special $2022 Double Platinum Package. Available through February (with dates bookable through June), it includes a two-night stay in a suite, two tickets to the show of your choice, a VIP Table for two at Lobby Bar, a $222 Dining Credit, a couples massage at Rock Spa & Salon, swag bags, and an ultra-exclusive private memorabilia tour for two.
