Bally's Atlantic City stands at Park Place and the Boardwalk, the corner made famous by the Monopoly board, with its main address at 1900 Pacific Avenue. It rates 4.0 from around 24,000 Google reviewers.

Bally's is a mid-Boardwalk casino with a central location and a lower-key feel than its neighbour Caesars. It has been through a long program of renovation under Bally's Corporation, and the results are visible in some areas more than others.

Setting expectations

Bally's is a good-value, central Boardwalk casino rather than a destination resort. The location is its main asset: Caesars is next door to the south, and the middle of the Boardwalk is right outside.

The property has had more than $100 million in renovations, covering rooms in the Bally's Tower, high-limit areas and bars. In 2024, for the casino's 45th anniversary, it added a new high-limit slot room in the hotel lobby, the Legacy Lounge for VIP players and the Park Place Prime steakhouse. Not everything has been refreshed, so expect some older corners.

What's on the floor

Slots. The slot floor covers the main casino and the high-limit slot room added in 2024, with current video titles and video poker.

Tables. Blackjack, craps, roulette and the carnival poker games.

Poker. Bally's no longer runs a poker room. For live poker, head to Borgata, Harrah's or Tropicana.

Sports betting. Bally's has a retail sportsbook.

Dining

  • Park Place Prime — the steakhouse on the sixth floor, opened in 2024 in the former Guy Fieri's Chophouse space and named after the property's original Park Place identity. It centres on prime steaks and seafood.
  • Casual options on and around the casino floor, plus bars.

Bally's dining list is shorter than the bigger resorts'. If food is the priority, Caesars next door and Tropicana's Quarter a little further south have more choice within a short walk.

Tips before you go

You must be 21 to gamble at any Atlantic City casino.

Use the location. Bally's is one of the easiest casinos to combine with others on foot. Caesars is next door, and Tropicana and Resorts are each a walk along the Boardwalk.

Ask about room upgrades. Renovated rooms in the Bally's Tower are the ones to request if you are staying.

Check Park Place Prime's hours. It is a dinner restaurant and its hours change seasonally.

Smoking. As of October 2026, Atlantic City casinos still allow smoking in designated sections. Ask staff where the non-smoking areas are.

Getting there

By car, the Atlantic City Expressway brings you into the city from Philadelphia and South Jersey, and the Garden State Parkway connects from North Jersey and New York. Bally's has self-parking and valet. On peak summer weekends and event nights, arrive early or expect to queue.

Without a car, NJ Transit trains and buses run to Atlantic City from Philadelphia and North Jersey, and the Atlantic City Jitney, the city's small shuttle buses, runs along Pacific Avenue a block back from the Boardwalk. Rideshare drop-off is straightforward at every Boardwalk property.

Once you are here, the Boardwalk itself is the easiest way to get around. Bally's is in the middle of the casino strip, so Caesars is a few steps away and Resorts and Tropicana are each a reasonable walk in opposite directions.

Who it suits

Bally's suits visitors who want a central Boardwalk base without paying resort prices, and players who prefer a smaller, simpler floor to the sprawl of the bigger properties. Its corner location makes it a sensible starting point for an evening on foot: start at Bally's, walk next door to Caesars, then carry on to Tropicana for dinner in The Quarter.

It is a weaker fit if you want live poker, a long restaurant list or a polished resort stay. For those, Borgata in the Marina District or Ocean at the north end of the Boardwalk are the closer matches.

Compared with Caesars next door, Bally's is quieter and plainer. Compared with Resorts, a short walk north, it is larger and more central but has less of a beach-bar atmosphere. Many visitors end up using both Bally's and Caesars in the same trip because they are so close together.

Nearby

Caesars Atlantic City is directly next door, and Tropicana Atlantic City is a walk south. Heading north along the Boardwalk, you reach Resorts Casino Hotel, Hard Rock and Ocean Casino Resort.

In the Marina District, Borgata, Harrah's and Golden Nugget are a short drive away.
