Atlantic City Pet Hotel fills gap left by casinos

Atlantic City's casino hotels are not "pet friendly".  That means "Kitty" and "Fido" are not welcome to spend the night at Caesars, Tropicana or any of the other nine casino-operated hotels.

So what if you simply can't part with your beloved animal companion, but you still have a hankering to play poker, craps or try your hand at the slots?

The Atlantic City Pet Hotel, 547 N. Trenton Ave., Chelsea Heights, N.J., may be the answer.

An exclusive 365-days-a-year 24-hour pet hotel, as well as a full-service pet salon, there are daily rates for short- and long-term stays, and pickup and drop-off services are available for an additional charge.

Gamblers can take a break and visit their pets any day of their stay, and – at no extra charge – take dogs out to "The Dog Beach", a beautiful stretch of sandy, white beach on the Atlantic Ocean about a 15-minute drive away.

While rates are subject to change, currently, daily charges are $25 for small dogs, $30 for medium and $35 for large; cats are $20. There is a two-night minimum on national holidays. For complete information call (609) 348-8660.
