Tropicana Casino & Resort

Set on the beachfront boardwalk, this sprawling casino hotel inspired by Havana's former Tropicana casino is a mile from downtown Atlantic City. The airy, understated rooms feature flat-screen TVs, video-game consoles and Wi-Fi. Some have ocean views, while suites offer sitting areas. In addition to a buzzing casino, there are 24 restaurants and bars, including a lively pub and a chic steakhouse, plus a Broadway-style theater, an IMAX cinema and a comedy club. Shopping and dining are centered around an indoor, Cuban-inspired atrium. Other amenities include a spa, a gym and an indoor pool. A resort fee applies.
