Celebrities, laughs and music mark this weekend in Atlantic City


  • Entertainment

Get ready for yet another weekend in Atlantic City full of excitement.

From iconic musicians to modern comedians, there is a little something for everyone to see. 


'Rowdy Friends' welcome

    

Grab your hat — your Stetson that is — and join Hank Williams Jr. at Hard Rock Live on Friday. 

All the "Outlaw Women" you know will want to join you for this twang of a country music session.

The South may not ever rise again. But ol’ Hank, and his special guest, Payton Smith, will raise the roof over at Hard Rock! So, get yourself in a "Country State of Mind."

The stars come out in A.C.

    

Do you like meeting celebrities? Because a unique convention is taking place that will align you with the “stars”. 

The Atlantic City Celebrity Convention is an immersive four-day extravaganza taking place July 25 through the 28 at ACX1 Studios.

Head to the Pier across from Ceasar’s for panels, meet and greets, photos, parties and vendors. 

Dozens of stars ranging from contestants from the binge-worthy "Squid Game The Challenge" to wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Fame member, Bret “the Hitman” Hart will be in attendance.

Now, I must admit I did not recognize every single name. You’ll have to visit the event site to see if this investment of time and money is for you. 

If you are a fan of a niche performer, this is the time to take advantage of one of the best things about Atlantic City. Celebrities are here all the time and they are accessible when they play at the smaller venues we have around town. So, grab your autograph book, and make sure your selfie phone is charged! 


Laughter inside the Box

    

The Music Box at Borgata is a wonderful, intimate spot to see comedy.

Friday is no different when you can see comedian, actor and radio host Tom Papa. His Good Stuff Tour is coming your way.

He’s been around since the '90s. If you haven’t seen him, now’s your chance to come to Papa.

Philly native son Big Jay Oakerson will also be at The Music Box on Sunday

He’s dirty, he’s famous and he will make you laugh with a casual style and a world of experience.

Get tickets here.


That’s a Rap

    

Ludacris and TI are at Hard Rock on Sunday. 

Finish up your weekend with two hip-hop legends! And those tickets start at $69. 

That’s a bargain.

You know Luda is busy "Pimpin' All Over the World." So take this opportunity to "Live Your Life" large by seeing him and TI tear up that stage!

Get your tickets here.
