Caesars is one of the oldest properties in Atlantic City, but extensive renovations have kept it feeling like one of the newest. It's situated along the boardwalk, steps from the beach and luxury shopping, and has a dramatic lobby with Roman-inspired columns and painted ceilings. Though the overall feel is more up-to-date than boardwalk neighbors, some of the 1,140 rooms still show wear and tear: Stick to the Centurion and Ocean Towers, where rooms have sophisticated decor, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and spacious bathrooms. Upscale property amenities include an impressive spa, an adults-only rooftop pool with views, as well as a plush stadium-seat theater for live entertainment. Tack on gourmet restaurants, a clean casino, and decent nightlife options, and what you get is a dependable choice for adults (though families are certainly welcome). Expect fees for Wi-Fi and parking.

**The Trump Taj Mahal, which closed in 2014, reopened as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in late June 2018. We will update our review and photography as soon as possible. **The Trump Taj Mahal opened in 1990 after the success of the original Trump Plaza a mile down the boardwalk. The not-so-subtle exterior reveals the Indian theme from afar and is just as dated as the original gold interiors and crystal chandeliers. The enormous 17-acre property has 2010 rooms spread across two towers: the original Taj Tower and the newer Chairman Tower. Contemporary rooms in the Chairman Tower -- with bursts of color and floor-to-ceiling windows -- are some of the most desirable. While common complaints include fees for parking, Wi-Fi, and use of the fitness center, this hotel is kept clean and there are plentiful restaurant and nightlife options.

Showboat Atlantic City is a New Orleans themed casino and hotel on the northernmost end of the Boardwalk. In addition to a big casino floor, this complex also includes the House of Blues, a concert space that hosts top performers. There are 1,329 rooms spread throughout three towers; all feature mini-fridges and coffeemakers. Older rooms are dated and show some wear and tear -- think old tube TVs and patterned bedspreads -- but suites are much more modern, with hardwood floors, big flat-screen TVs, and some bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and glass walk-in showers. The Bourbon Tower, which was renovated in 2007, has some of the best rooms. Showboat has a variety of restaurants (including some following the New Orleans theme), a rooftop pool, and a big fitness center -- but there are pesky fees for Wi-Fi and parking.
