Weekend Preview   August 29 2008

 Of course Atlantic City isn't short on fun during this long weekend! Here are some suggestions on what to do this Labor Day Weekend.

If you didn't waste away in Margaritaville on Sunday for the Jimmy Buffett concert at Boardwalk Hall, then you should make up for it this weekend. The sun, sand and cocktails are calling and this should be one of those legendary weekends for the beach bars. On Friday night try The Deck at the Trump Marina. Local favorites Don't Call me Francis will be playing both Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 - 11.

The Comedy Stop
The Comedy Stop Cafe & Cabaret celebrates its 25th Anniversary on Saturday with a special line-up of comedians followed by a "Meet & Greet" with the performers.

 

The Pool at Harrah's

What could be better than a long weekend with the ladies from The Girls Next Door? Kendra Wilkinson (pictured right) and Bridget Marquardt step out from the pages of Playboy Magazine and their hit E! show to host a party at the Pool at Harrah's Saturday night of Labor Day weekend ( 8/30).

The Borgata
The Borgata once again has an interesting line-up of entertainment with the return of uber-cool DJ Tiesto, king of trance and electronic dance music.  This show was originally scheduled for June 20th in Mixx but it will now take place Friday (8/29)  in the Event Center.

The Hooters will perform at The Music Box in Borgata on Saturday August 30, 2008 at 9pm. Click here for tickets

 

The hilarious Carlos Mencia appears at the Borgata for two shows on Sunday night; one show at 7pm and another at 10 pm.

Mencia is known for his two solo HBO Specials, one of which received a CableACE Award nomination, and as host of the groundbreaking series, "Funny Is Funny" (Galavision). He was also a guest-host on back-to-back episodes of NBC's "Later" and his first appearance on "The Tonight Show," received a standing ovation.

 

 

 

House of Blues
The House of Blues Atlantic City features Smashmouth on Saturday night at 9pm. The band has a couple of tunes you're sure to know including Walking on the Sun, All Star, Can't Get Enough of You Baby and a great rendition of the Monkees' classic I'm a Believer.

The Hilton Atlantic City

The Arizona-based Gin Blossoms will perform at the Hilton on Friday night at 9pm. The band formed in the late 1980s and took the music world by storm throughout the 1990s. Their sound combines elements of rock, folk and even country. New Miserable Experience, the group's debut album went quadruple platinum. In addition to the commercial success, the album garnered much critical acclaim. The hit-laden record contains smash singles, including "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You" and "Allison Road."
