I'll be in AC in July for an Elton John concert, and even though I am from NJ, I have never been to AC.

I want to stay near the concert hall (Boardwalk Hall), which is next to Caesars. I have no idea about any of the hotels. Can anyone who's been there, recommend a hotel, thanks!
 
The Borgata is no where near the boardwalk so I'd avoid staying there. I'd suggest the Tropicana or Caesars. The Taj is gross, in my opinion, it just has a sort of run down cheesy feel to it. You're going to be paying through the nose in AC in July so book ASAP to avoid an even higher price.
 
I suggest Tropicana since it's sort of one of the 'newest hotels' after they renovated it 3 or 4 yrs ago. It also has good restaurants inside and good dance clubs - if you're into them. I also suggest Borgata for the best buffet!:drool:
