The Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl, and Atlantic City’s proximity to Philadelphia means the casinos are going to be packed for the big game and running promotions to draw in the crowds. Ocean Casino Resort tops the list for the festivities with a smorgasbord of food and drink specials at its bars and restaurants. You’ll also find a slots tournament at Resorts, a special buffet at Bally’s, raffles at Hard Rock, and more.
New Jersey retail casinos are found only in Atlantic City, which is an extension of the Greater Philadelphia area. So this Super Bowl has a lot more meaning than most, as the Philadelphia Eagles are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs for the second time in three years.
Each casino has big plans for the Big Game on Sunday, many of these focusing on what is, effectively, the hometown team. Ocean Casino Resort has tons of options for Eagles fans, and football fans, to watch the action.
The casino is holding multiple, separate viewing parties throughout the building, which include the following places:
- 1927 Lounge
