Atlantic City Nightlife

Action at the Jersey shore doesn't end once the beaches clear out and the sun goes down. You're going to need some after-dinner activities to unwind after a hard day in the surf.

Even if you're not staying in Atlantic City or Wildwood, your resort down the shore will surely offer some type of nightlife. Most weekend nights, you can find a live band or DJ playing at the local bars. But for the hottest action, head for Wildwood and Atlantic City.

Looking for a club scene with dance music? Here's Atlantic City's finest offerings.

Casbah -- at the Trump Taj Mahal

Club Tru -- on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard

Dejà vu -- just off the Boardwalk

The Missile Bar -- at the Tropicana

Mixx -- at the Borgata

The Wave -- at Trump Marina

Worship (House of Blues) -- at the Showboat

For something a little less active, Atlantic City has lots to offer.

Hit The Quarter at the Tropicana for the total experience -- food, shopping, a spa, clubs, and bars. If you're a karaoke queen, hit Planet Rose, Atlantic City's one and only karaoke bar! Don't miss the Comedy Stop for a few laughs. Dress in the quarter is upscale; the Tropicana recently had to issue a list of clothing that was not considered appropriate.

Some of the city's best bars can be found in the Quarter: TSOP -- The Sound of Philadelphia, a jazz bar. Red Square -- offering over a hundred types of vodka. And of course, Planet Rose with its unpredictable musical selections (and talent levels).

Love martinis? You'll love the Blue Martini at Bally's. The hardest part will be deciding which of more than a hundred martinis to sample first. Sip and soak up live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.

Atlantic City after dark may well be more fun than Atlantic City by day!
