My taco truck experience was great, even though I had to share some communal seating with rival podcasters. I snacked on some late night apps at American Cut, but the beef that arrived at our table looked good. I only spent time and money at American Cut and their casino level taco truck.

West and East Coast Oysters at American CutĪnd about those restaurants. I just like a fancy drink to pair with my people watching and VP play. It’s an empty complaint because Ocean is flush with casual and upscale restaurants and bars. This was one slight disappointment- there was no true upscale casino cocktail bar. The casino’s focal point is the large William Hill sportsbook, which displaces the center casino bar. There were plenty of slots and underwhelming video poker machines.

I found myself with other Gamblepalooza patrons at the $25 Pai Gow table most nights, pushing and drinking the night away. Limits did tend to move up to $15 – $25 for most table games after 8 pm. It wasn’t difficult to find $10 craps until the early evening. Despite this, I found the table limits to be reasonable considering the luxurious nature of the resort. I was in town on a busy weekend, so the casino was perpetually busy, especially during the Witching Hour. I opted for a more ‘sanitary serene’ type of feel. The bathrooms were spacious, equipped with a double vanity and enough lighting options to complement any of your washroom moods. The furniture is of high quality, modern, and comfortable. It’s a pretty standard room design and layout, but it’s simple elevated. The room’s floor to ceiling windows means you’ll never be bereft of natural light, as long as you don’t find yourself in the freakishly foggy weather as I did. I never saw the line more than two parties deep. The lobby is sprawling and, at least on my visit, adequately manned to handle the expected load of guests. I like gambling, of course, but not having to traverse a crowded casino floor with luggage in tow is a nice feature.

A series of escalators guides guests to the hotel lobby, not before passing the casino floor. While Ocean is the only AC resort I’ve stayed at, I can at least attest that these rooms are going to be hard to beat.ĭuring my first walk into Ocean, I noticed that it’s a resort that is more vertical in nature. They are, by all accounts, the best basic rooms in Atlantic City. The Ocean Casino and Resort, or is it the Ocean Resort and Casino? Either way, “Ocean” boasts one of the best casino hotel rooms I’ve stayed in.
