Caesars Casino Atlantic City Restaurants
Update: Indoor dining returned to Atlantic City casinos on Sept. 4. View indoor dining options here.
Atlantic City casinos are reopening today but without indoor dining.
We're proud to offer the nation's hottest fine dining in Atlantic City. You can't go wrong with our restaurants for your Atlantic City fine dining experience. Located just 5 blocks from the Atlantic City Convention Center and just off of the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, steps away from the ocean, Morton's Atlantic City is a convenient spot to enjoy a truly memorable dining experience. Address Caesars Casino Hotel 2100 Pacific Avenue Atlantic City, NJ 08401.
However, that doesn’t mean the casinos lack eating or drinking options. In fact, most have outdoor dining available. Restaurants also provide takeout options in some cases.
If you’re heading to the Jersey Shore this weekend and plan to visit one of the eight Atlantic City casinos that are reopening, here’s a primer on the dining options available.
And if you’re curious about parking, we note a few details there, too.
Borgata, of course, will remain closed until further notice. Caesars, Bally’s and Harrah’s plan to reopen July 3.
Keep in mind that it is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke inside AC casinos when they reopen, per the guidelines released by the state earlier this week. There are only a few exceptions on that front.
Masks are required indoors, and social distancing measures will be enforced.
To that end, here’s what we know about dining options and gambling updates from AC casinos reopening this week.
Caesars, Bally’s and Harrah’s
The three Caesars properties are waiting a day before opening to the public again.
Join us at the center of all the action! Bally’s Atlantic City is ready to welcome you back Friday at 10 a.m. #MyBallys
