Taste Of Summer In Atlantic City Right Now!

Snow, ice, and polar vortexes.
Everyone is waiting for winter to be over.
Just a short drive away, hot new "summer-like" hotel packages make a trip to Atlantic City an affordable getaway for travelers seeking high-value hotel deals. Today, the Atlantic City Alliance kicks off a winter tourism marketing campaign called, "Taste of Summer." After all, ocean views, bachelorette parties, live entertainment and dance floors are always in season in Atlantic City.

At the core of the advertising, social media, online and PR campaign are the new "Taste of Summer" hotel packages from 11 resort casino hotel and spas. Each package offers a variety of summery fun amenities ranging from dining deals, indoor pools, spa credits and fitness passes (for that summer beach body), to ocean-view rooms and summer cocktails.

Most packages are available 7-days a week and start around $55 to $169. Prices may vary depending on day of week and demand. Packages are available through March 31. "Taste of Summer" hotel packages can be booked directly with your favorite casino hotel by phone or online at the property's website.

To get visitors into the summertime spirit, each casino hotel has a summer-inspired sand sculpture on property and "Taste of Summer" hotel guests get a free gift at check in: a DO AC beach ball. Each property will debut their own version of a "Taste of Summer" cocktail that will be unveiled tomorrow night at Phillip's Seafood at the Pier Shops at Caesars at 7 pm in Atlantic City. The "Taste of Summer"-inspired cocktail will be available for purchase at the properties with a variety of themes and mixers.

The Atlantic City Alliance's "Taste of Summer" marketing campaign is geared towards Philadelphia, North Jersey, Northern Delaware, New York and Baltimore. The advertising campaign consists of full-page ads in major newspapers, six-weeks of radio promotions, and paid online ads aimed at people looking for winter travel deals.
