Atlantic City this June has been lit with luck at the lauded Ocean Casino Resort.

The sun-kissed glow of the legendary boardwalk is beaming with pride this summer as the property celebrates its “Lucky Summer of Sevens” birthday with more than $7 million in events and prizes, including a $1 Million Sweepstakes (June 27 to July 6).

It’s just a small part of what is a spectacular gift that just keeps giving. This past weekend alone, the elevated level of fun and excitement was nearly too much to grasp. Rolling with thrills, the vibe at Ocean Casino Resort tingled with exhilarated joy as guests came to delight in premium entertainment, scrumptious culinary experiences, divine gambling, and spectacular fun in the sun.

Pitch perfect ecstasy started off the day right on June 21 as guests took in all the fun in the sun at the resort’s luxurious pools and cabanas. The Atlantic Ocean swirled with waves as the sea breeze whipped in the air, and families lounged by the water. Then the beats were wild at the famous HQ2 Beachclub, where the renowned Fisher played at an epic day party. Splashing to the sounds of bliss while drinking ice-cold pina coladas never was better. No one does a beach party in AC better than OCR.

The energy was hyped later in the night when entertainment turned into Ladies Night to the max. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s “Restless Leg Tour” at Ovation Hall. A whimsical sound of laughter was not just a sign of happiness. It was also a sign of guests enjoying the original content of two comedy icons. Hysterical original content from the two female comedy legends belted out with pristine measure in the sophisticated theater. The space known for groundbreaking tech and elaborate setup hosted the crowd, who got juiced up with belly rolls of giggles. Every seat in the house was a good seat in this venue.

The gift of perfect culinary execution was also granted between all the spectacular shows. The restaurant and bar scenes were fabulous and scrumptious. Guests over the weekend at the resort enjoyed mouthwatering dishes and sultry cocktails from the likes of Amada, Bottled, Linguini by The Sea, and the special Birthday Pop Up Bar. From classic dishes to new wave creations with a contemporary twist, it was a mesmerizing moment for the taste buds.

This was just a small slice of the birthday cake. A confetti-filled season lies ahead. Ocean’s birthday bash will extend throughout the summer and into the fall, incorporating one-of-a-kind collaborations, exclusive events, star-studded entertainment and nightlife, local business partnerships, and more.

“Ocean’s summer-long birthday celebration will showcase everything this property has to offer, including the best promotions, one-of-a-kind experiences, fireworks, and drone shows every Friday, and so much more,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “We are excited to share this special occasion with our customers, team members, and the local community who have supported Ocean throughout our first seven years.”

New for 2025, still to come are two Stephen Starr restaurant concepts coming in August, expanded Asian gaming, Ocean’s 18 Mini Golf & Bar, over $7 million in prizes and experiences, a $1 Million Sweepstakes, and much more.
