We stayed at the Taj on 2/11 for a pre-Valentines Day getaway. I have stayed many places in AC (always comped, so I can't complain) and I think this may have been the best yet.

We arrived at 1pm, and thanks to Halina in Guest Services, were able to check in early. To my surprise, my significant other had arranged for roses, champagne and choco covered strawberries which despite our early arrival was already there.

The room was spotless and I was especially impressed by the bathroom. The exfoliating body soap was a surprisingly good product for hotel gratis items. The ocean view, looking south, (room 3240) was nice. It was a non-smoking room and for once, in my experience, the whole floor abided by the rules!

Just to get this out of the way, we didn't win! We gamble about once per month and are never BIG winners!

We snuck over to Resorts for the Legends in Concert show (highly recommended). That was fun to pass a couple of hours without spending money.

We then had 9pm dinner reservations at the Safari Steakhouse - Excellent! Higher prices, but worth it, especially if you can get a portion of the bill comped. The caesar salad is excellent-the best I've ever had. Avoid the grouper w/lobster mashed potatoes, it was just so-so. The NY Strip, ordered with regular potatoes was sensational and cooked perfectly.

After a long night at the tables, we were able to get a later checkout at 1pm w/no problems.

I think this is a respectable place to stay in AC and has replaced the Showboat (new) Tower as my #1 pick. We are a couple in our mid 30's, upper middle working class, not expecting the Beverly Hilton, but don't want a Motel 6, so take comfort that this review is reliable.

Have fun!

My wife and I just returned from the Trump Taj. No matter where we go, we have a great time. We had a great time here also but I have to let you know why Trump has all the money :)
All drinks a doubled. The food is awful and for the buffett at the Bombay it cost $12 for cardboard eggs, OJ that tasted like water, and coffee that tasted like the OJ. This was how it was in the 3 places we tried in the Taj. The Hard Rock had decent food.
We wanted to workout while we there there. It would cost 20 per day for one person...ouch. This is the first place I have stayed where I had to pay for the use of the gym. Yes they did have nice equipment...but come on...20 per day?!!
We still had fun....just don't eat the food.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Taj Mahal. After requesting an oceanfront room and being told that none were available, we were upgraded to a suite on the 14th floor. It was AMAZING! It had a jucuzzi in the room, with a very comfortable bed and cathedral ceilings. The bathroom was HUGE and was all marble. It was a very comfortable setting. At night we orded the imported cheese plate to go with some wine we had bought. I definitely recommned it, it is well worth the $18! The stay at the hotel was great, and I would love to stay there again. We did not eat at any of the restaurants in the hotel because I had read so many bad reviews before going, so we decided to have lunch one day at Johnny Rockets in Ballys. It was so much fun. The servers dance to oldies music, the burgers are delicious, and the milkshakes are out of this world. One evening, we attended a comedy show at the Comedy Stop at the Tropicana. It was so much fun, and was the best comedy show I have ever been to. Later that evening we had drinks at the Ego Bar in the Taj Mahal, and I would say DO NOT get drinks there! They are expensive, the bartenders are not very nice, and the drinks are extremely weak! You might as well get free drinks in the casino, because they taste pretty much the same. I would also recommend going to the Pier Shops at Caesar's, where you can find some great restaurants that are affordable. We ate at Buddhakan one evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions are large enough to share, and everything is very tasty.

All in all, the Taj Mahal was outstanding, and if you go ask for an upgrade...you won't be disappointed!

We have just returned from a one night stay at the Trump Taj Mahal and we were there to go to see the Kenny Rogers show which we recieved comp tickets for the show and also had a comp room the room is usually very comfortable and always clean we were just a little dissapointed this trip because we had no ocean view , but all in all the room was very comfy and the show was amazing it was definately well worth the trip to just see Kenny he is one heck of a performer and Linda Davis was also there perfoming and she really knows how to sing with the best of them we enjoyed her as much as we did Kenny, well we have stayed there in the past and it has always been a wonderful experience the staff is always so friendly and courteous. We usually have some luck with playing the slots enough to make our stay enjoyable we don't come home rich but we definately have loads of fun there. And we always eat either at The Bombay Cafe or at The Sultan's Feast and i have never found anything wrong with any of the meals from either one like some of the reviews have said some not so nice things about these 2 places i always enjoy our meals there and we do breakfast and dinner there at one or the other place
