The Playground at Caesars, a luxury shopping mall, was originally opened as an amusement pier in 1906. The first floor has been designed to look like the Atlantic City Boardwalk and--with more moderate stores--is a great place to shop for gifts. Ascend to the second floor to browse high-end goods from designers such as Burberry, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. The majority of the drinking and dining outlets are on the third floor. Half of this level is dedicated to a "beach" area, with wooden chairs set in sand facing a huge glass window that overlooks the boardwalk and sea. Don't miss the mall's fountain, which is the largest indoor water fountain in the world. You can catch its shows set to music throughout the day.

  • Playground Pier replaced Ocean One Mall, where you can get the best tacos in town. I have visited Playground Pier many times - love it.

  • Kind of a monument to late-stage capitalism at this point; the majority of the mall is deserted, with only a couple businesses still open. Very surreal experience, but also quite neat. One of my favorite stops on our trip to AC, as it was one of the very, very few places that wasn't a consistent, overwhelming din of awful music at hearing loss inducing decibel ratings.
  • I would highly recommend a visit but the place is incredibly sad. You can see what was once a great looking mall, and it almost appears it still could be, but it's largely empty now. Why the high rating? It's a nice spot in the AC that sits almost directly on the water. Just head to the third floor and all the way down the hall for a great view. Seeing the 70s theming is neat as well. Overall, another great location with absolutely great potential that has been left abandoned and empty. I hope someone can find a good use one day for this awesome spot.
