If you fancy theme parties, you must be one of those who felt cheated out of the 2020 Halloween celebrations courtesy of the Covid-19 pandemic. The festivities are on again this year and Atlantic City casinos have a special Halloween treat for their players. For casino enthusiasts, this is the time to either sit down and marvel at the sight of night creatures crawling out of their hiding places or join in and cause a scare.

A Tropicana AC Halloween tradition

Harrah’s Resort’s ‘We All Float Here’
Readers of Stephen King’s novels will find the Halloween theme at Harrah’s to be familiar.
