The quality of entertainment in Atlantic City, New Jersey has changed during the last decade, and major headliner acts now bring in a flux of tourists from all over the country. While the resort town hosts celebrity performances from big stars like Bruce Springsteen or Madonna, there are still traditional casino shows, such as lounge performances and magicians, that can be seen at the Jersey Shore.
The girl band The Angels perform weekly at the Trump Taj Mahal in what The Press of Atlantic City called "the most elaborate production show an Atlantic City Casino lounge has ever offered." The Angels are compared to popular female bands such as The Pussycat Dolls in terms of choreography, and feature a variety of music from pop to hip-hop.
The Angels perform their free show from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Thursdays through Sundays. The Trump Taj Mahal is located at 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Call (609) 449-1000 or visit www.trumptaj.com.
Appearing nightly at The Comedy Stop at The Tropicana Casino and Resort, Kozac the Magician blends laughter and magic. Kozac began at a street performer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and now has established a residency with a family-friendly show.
Tickets are $30 and include dinner and a show, while $23 tickets are available for just the show. Dinner begins at 5 p.m. daily, with the show starting at 6 p.m. The Tropicana is located at 2831 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Call (609) 340-4000 or visit www.tropicana.net.
Showboat Casino-Hotel Atlantic City features The Show, which is a twist on the Mardi Gras parade.
Beginning at the Lobby Bar Stage, a master of ceremonies leads dancers, singers, musicians and acrobats throughout the casino. The Show is free and performed on selected Saturdays. The parade fits with The Showboat's hotel theme of Mardi Gras.
The Showboat is located at 801 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Call (800) 621-0200 or visit www.showboatac.com.
