Travel No checkout is complete without a stop at Borgata Baking Company. Cast your eyes upon mouth-watering “sweets and eats” housemade by former White House Executive Pastry Chef, Thaddeus DuBois.

Think modern Japanese in a sensual setting with foodie favorites like the dumpling spicy tuna cracker. Just steps away, you’ll discover the Water Club Hotel an 800 room, $400 million hotel featuring 43 stories of sheer luxury. Slip into Immersion, a two-story spa for a Thai massage or ayurvedic treatment, then relax at one of the five heated pools and get some retail therapy at Hugo Boss or Just Cavalli. A long afternoon calls for more relaxing at Sunroom Lounge, just off the main lobby. Sit beside a roaring fire pit and sip on white sangria topped with plump raspberries. Next up…Revel where billions, not millions, brought this ultra-mod resort to life at the end of 2012. Towering high above the famed boardwalk, a steel sculpture sits quietly. Walk by and you’ll see the throngs of tourists looking up – admiring the sheer magnificence of this architectural feat. Inside, a shimmering welcome, as guests ascend on a high-powered escalator to the lobby and casinos. Call it the wow factor – the Revel gets that a lot with 1,399 ocean view rooms, masterful indoor and outdoor pools, serene gardens, a 32,000-square-foot luxury spa, and designer boutiques. Nightclubs, a dayclub, live entertainment venues and 14 restaurants serving world- TOP Indulge your alter ego aboard one of these in the Golden Nugget Marina ABOVE Opportunity as far as the eye can see along Atlantic City’s famed Boardwalk Waves break along a brilliant backdrop at the Atlantic City Seashore 4 class cuisine add nicely to this resort’s total package. Guests can carve out their own piece of paradise by renting exclusive cabanas at the private VIP pool, featuring top-shelf bottle service. Double or Nothing A trip to Atlantic City isn’t complete without stepping inside one of the area’s most famous casinos – Caesar’s. Situated along the boardwalk and connected to the Pier Shops, the hotel offers a prime location to experience the sights and sounds of this active beach town. For one of the best views around, visit Caesar’s rooftop pool, which offers a panorama you won’t soon forget. As the day comes to a close, rich, dramatic skylines give way to superb sunrises, making this property a place to cash in on making memories. The sun dances on the water, giving way to a yacht named Boardwalk in the marina adjacent to the Golden Nugget. The view seems appropriate given the winning streak Atlantic City has been on. Touting the luxury product has been one wild card they’d hope would pay off. And this resort is betting on that gamble as well.
