One Tank of Gas, 20 Great Getaways at the Tropicana

One Tank of Gas, 20 Great Getaways at the Tropicana

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Record high gas prices don't have to keep you from having a great vacation this summer. Studies show that 50 million people live within a 300 mile radius of Atlantic City. Lucky enough, the average gas powered car can travel 300 miles on one full tank of gas. Putting those two facts together, the following is a list of 20 fun-filled getaways that are just a single fill-up away to spend the day or stay overnight at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

1. Beach Bummin' -- Hit the road for a day at the Atlantic City Beach
under a Tropicana cabana. When the sun goes down, win your share of
"clams" playing in Atlantic City's "Luckiest Casino," voted by readers
of Casino Player magazine.

2. Feelin' Groovy -- Soak up the 70's vibe of the Tropicana's Dancin'
Queen production in the Tropicana Theater, then bust your own moves at

then let your imagination run wild with Mantasm, the Male Revue at
Planet Rose Karaoke Bar.

- there's no driving home after this getaway.

room at the Tropicana, walk the boards, ride the waves, and dine in
the Seaside Cafe. Then, if you're still raring for more, treat
yourself to a bit of frozen heaven at Create-a-Cone, or a nice cup of
coffee at Starbucks Coffee, both located in the MarketPlace at the
Boardwalk.

15. Pool Party -- The Splash Pool Deck and Lounge is the place to be, and

Health Club, or do some laps in our indoor pool. Once you've reached
your ideal heart rate, reward yourself with a visit to Godiva
Chocolatier, where you can reenergize with European-style truffles,
biscuits, gourmet coffee and hot cocoa.

puts you in the middle of the action. Challenge lady luck at
blackjack, then rally around the tastiest ribs you've ever laid your
eyes and mouth on at Corky's Ribs & BBQ, where you'll be entertained
with live blues and jazz on weekends and a broadcast of all the games
year-round on extra large plasma TVs.
