Did you miss wearing a Halloween costume and drinking a Zombie cocktail in the casino lounge last year?
So, last year, the global pandemic shut down casino Halloween events.
But, this year, there’s no trick – just a treat – for Atlantic City, N.J. casinos.
And that means it’s time for the creatures of the night to come out to play.
Atlantic City casinos have some special Halloween treats in store for visitors at the end of October.
So, dig out those plastic Dracula teeth and go find that witch’s hat that didn’t make an appearance in 2020.
Visitors can look forward to the Rocky Horror Picture show in various forms – including dance contests and costume contests and, of course, the cult classic movie “Time Warp” itself.
And there are giveaways as well as special Halloween-themed drinks being mixed for the occasion.
Grab a broomstick. Apply your most frightful face makeup. And prepare to drink that Zombie cocktail this Halloween – whether you’re in costume or not.
If you’re looking for ways to celebrate Halloween 2021, Atlantic City casinos have some great events planned. We’ve compiled a list of what some casinos have on tap. There will be giveaways, food, dancing, and Halloween themed-drinks and costume parties.
