Stay Another Day in Atlantic City

Atlantic City, host of Northstar's Independent Planner Education Conference in January 2025, perhaps is enjoyed best when the temperature cools and the crowds die down. Take advantage of the off-season by enjoying some of the city's hottest attractions and dining outlets.

Spa Playlist

Start your day by booking a one-of-a-kind spa experience at the Hard Rock Hotel's Rock Spa & Salon, which pairs treatments and tunes. Options include the Wrap Remix, a full-body rhythm-and-motion massage, and Face the Music, which combines sound vibration and organic products.

Farm-Style Brunch

Ready for a feast? Hash House a Go Go is one of eight new restaurants at the Tropicana. Brunch is served daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a focus on Midwestern fare. Try the farmhouse egg scramble, lemon-blueberry waffles, or classic biscuits with sausage gravy.

Distill My Heart

Tucked away just three blocks from the boardwalk is Atlantic City's first and only legal distillery. Available Friday through Sunday also are guided tastings of Little Water Distillery's entire spirit line, which includes rum, gin, vodka and whiskey. Cocktails also are on the menu, including their signature espresso martinis.

Bringing the Sizzle

For dinner, treat yourself to a steak — or better yet, several. The Taste of Japan  steak flight at the Borgata's B-Prime Steakhouse includes saga, Kobe and olive beef. Also on the menu are prime rib, veal chop Parmesan and Chilean sea bass, which can be paired with truffle mac and cheese, chipotle corn brulée and more.

Variety Show

Cap off your trip with a visit to the Warner Theater. On stage is The Hook, a 75-minute homage to Atlantic City's history using a mix of circus, cabaret and comedy.
