 Caesars Atlantic City is the epitome of royalty when it comes to gaming in America's Favorite Playground. The resort entered the new millennium with the completion of a $280 million expansion project. Part of the refurbishing included a new Roman-themed façade, several restaurants, the Bacchus Bar, and the beautiful Temple Lobby.
Caesars also expanded the gaming floor. The 120,231-square-foot casino floor, which includes the first-floor main casino and the second-floor Hippodrome and Palladium Slot Arena, is one of the largest contiguous gaming spaces in Atlantic City. Caesars offers a well-balanced mix of slots and table games. Gaming here is extremely high-roller-friendly, as low-limit tables are scarce.
A wide variety of table games are available, with 66 Blackjack tables, 13 Dice, 19 Roulette, 3 Baccarat, 4 Mini Baccarat, 5 Pai Gow Poker, 1 Pai Gow Tiles, 2 Big 6, 2 Sic Bo, 5 Caribbean Stud Poker, 8 Let It Ride, and 4 Spanish 21 tables, totaling to 135 gaming tables overall. The expansion also added 1,088 slot machines, bringing the total number of slots to 3,595 machines. Slots are available in denominations ranging from 5-cents to $500. Caesars Atlantic City is the only casino in town to offer slots in denominations of 5-cents, 10-cents, 25-cents, 50-cents, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, and $500.
Want to learn how to play the table games? Caesars offers players of all skill levels the opportunity to learn the rules and play options from casino professionals. Instructors provide lessons on Blackjack, Dice and Roulette every Wednesday and Thursday. These lessons are offered at designated table games located on the second floor casino.
Centrally located at the corner of Missouri and Pacific Avenues, Caesars by far has the most captivating façade on the Pacific Avenue Strip. The magnificent Porte Cochere, with its arched granite entrance, officious windowed façade, and ornate balcony, might easily cajole any onlooker to come inside for a taste of royalty. A luminous decorative vaulted ceiling, Venetian yellow granite clad walls, custom alabaster, and gilded stones also add to the aristocratic air for which Caesars is famous.
The resort’s embellishments get even more impressive upon entering. Immediately visitors are transfixed by the faux sky (as seen in Caesars Forum in Las Vegas). Through the use of fiber optics and cold cathode neon lighting, the ceiling resembles a clear Roman sky at dusk, sprinkled with more than 12,000 stars. When visiting, take a moment to view the statute of David in the Temple lobby. Incidentally, the casino's interior design earned Caesars the Gold Medallion Award from Casino Executive magazine.
Caesars is also home to Planet Hollywood. The internationally renowned restaurant can be entered via the casino or from the boardwalk. Planet Hollywood is one of the best places to meet for a drink in Atlantic City. The main attraction of course is the movie memorabilia and, with two levels, there are plenty of items to interest the movie maniac. |
