I was there approx 18 months ago. It's a pretty decent hotel located across the street from the outlets. We got upgraded to nicer room with gold, but no suite.

I can't recall if there was an outdoor sundeck (I was there in the winter), but it's a short walk from the casinos

Great new kosher food in AC -  Bubbie's Bistro has really good pizza and breakfast under star K and shalom pita makes really good pizza now too (got an Italian guy who actually knows how to make pizza) but I think they are switching over to become a burger joint.  Under Chabad hashgacha.

My wife is going to go on a 2 day, 1 night trip with her girlfriends. There will be anywhere from 5-8 of them. Any suggestions on where I should start looking? I'm SPG Gold, Hilton Gold, and can become Hyatt Platinum (60 day trial - I won't make the 12 night stay requirement) if it will help. She wants to stay at a resort (definitely with spa, and hopefully casino) rather than have to hoof it from the hotel. The trip will be sometime in the fall or early winter.

I'm not sure if they should do a single suite or multiple rooms. I know nothing about any of the hotels there. I also don't know what the consensus will be on how much people are willing to pay per night, so I'll take all suggestions/options. They'll likely be driving from LI, but if a limo/van isn't too much extra, that might work, too.

Finally, she'd prefer to sacrifice loyalty programs & points for ease and luxury (whereas I would almost always choose a Starwood property).

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I also have an AMEX Platinum card (that I didn't cancel yet), so if there's something that Platinum Concierge/Travel services can do for me that I wouldn't be able to do myself, I can try it.

as far as hotel programs,there is  nothing special,i would would save my points and just reserve a room in a nicer hotel and a hotel that is on the board walk.winter time is a great time to go since it is not expensive.as far as food goes,there are a few kosher restaurants in ac,some of them would deliver to the hotels.

which hotel do you recommend ? I saw Harras is very well priced and i also saw the taj. I personally would spend a bit more for a newer more elegant room but i just cant figure out which it is bec the pics are so inaccurate.
