Amid growing competition from casinos in neighboring states, Atlantic City is hoping to attract old and new customers this summer with its exciting offers that include top entertainment shows and acts, weekend parties, fine restaurants, special room packages, shopping and many others.

Atlantic City vows to make this year’s summer one of the grandest for its patrons. As early as this month, a tourism report said there are already signs of the consumers’ response to the city’s promotional campaigns, such as increases in the hiring of seasonal workers, reservations at the Atlantic City Convention Center and at Boardwalk Hall, and in hotel rooms occupancy as compared with 2009 figures.

Casinos in Atlantic City are preparing to launch more new games and deals starting on the Memorial Day Weekend that would entice foreign and local tourists. According to the New Jersey casino Control Commission, for the first four months of 2010, gambling revenue in Atlantic City was $1.17 billion. It has dropped 7.6 percent over the same period in 2009. In hopes of recovering the loss, numerous attractions have been lined up for the summer season.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will be the main speaker at the Summer Speaker Series at the Atlantic City Hilton. A retro “Boogie” party will be held in front of Resorts every week starting Saturday, May 29 and every Friday thereafter until Labor Day weekend in September. It will feature a free “Boogie on the Boardwalk” entertainment each week. Borgatta will present concerts of top artists Lady Gaga on the Fourth of July weekend, and Rihanna in August. The Tropicana will host the Natalie Cole show on June 26 and “An Evening with Daughtry” on Aug. 7.

Several shows are also arranged for the Trump Taj Mahal, one of the three Trump casinos in Atlantic City. July 10 is slated for the American Idol tour show, July 24 is marked for Santan with Steve Winwood. Three female singers are scheduled for shows in August- Martina McBride on Aug. 7, Stevie Nicks on Aug.27 and Donna Summer on Aug 28.

A special performance by Beatle Ringo Starr will be featured at Caesars’ Circus Maximus on July 3, and the Flaming Lips will do a show at Showboat’s House of Blues Music Hall on July 4. The Black Eyed Peas will entertain audience at Boardwalk Hall on Aug. 7 and Sheryl Crow will sing at Caesars on Aug. 14. The Le Grand Cirque will bring thrill at the Tropicana’s The Quarter from May 9 through June 16 with tickets at $25 and $35.

These are just some of the many enticements planned by the city that are guaranteed to delight visitors. In keeping up with the wide array of entertainment that’s expected to bring more tourists, a number of casinos are offering special hotel room packages. Resorts offers its Summer Tourist Package costing $129 plus taxes and fees, and the Players Package, at $149 plus taxes and fees.

The two room packages are valid from Sunday to Thursday from June 27 to Sept. 2 and offer a deluxe room at the Rendezvous Tower, complimentary use of indoor pool, 20 percent discount on massage services, and 10 percent discount on your next room package.

The Jersey Shore package, in honor of the hit MTV reality show, is offered by the Tropicana, which costs $878 a night for double occupancy with a gift certificate to the Tropicana Salon. A night’s stay for four at the same suite where the Jersey Shore cast stayed costs $4,250.For food tripping guests, these are some of Atlantic City’s temptations- Harrah’s Resort will launch the Viking Cooking School on Memorial Day weekend, the Tropicana will open FIN, a new seafood dining place, and Bally’s casino will unveil Sammy Hagar Beach Bar.
