Just bonvoy points. Looking for several days for this upcoming week.
The only place I can think of that you can book with Bonvoy is the Sheraton. Pretty good location although not right on the water.

If you are going midweek you’ll often find very cheap rates at decent waterfront casinos like Caesar’s and Tropicana

What’s the best bang for my buck to get a hotel where I would be able to watch the air show? I just tried matching my Caesar’s account from my Wyndham diamond, will see if it posts in time. Is that a good place? Do I need to pay separately to be able to watch the show? Going with kids so would like to get a suite… any ideas?

I’m looking to book a hotel by the beach. Is there anything reasonable for $150 a night?
I don’t have any points, rather am looking at express deals at Priceline.
It also needs to provide a provide a pack n play.

Is there a viewing spot to watch the air show that won’t have issues with people clad in swimwear?

Any kid friendly hotels?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Bubbies Bistro as usual and apparently something called Chabad at the Shore. If you’re only going for a day you should probably bring food from Lakewood.

I am looking to go to AC for 2-3 days with my wife in August and I am trying to determine the best place to go. Looking for a nice hotel, don't care so much about the casino. It seems the 2 nicest are the Borgata and the ocean casino. I am leaning towards the Borgata because they have a suite (Fiore) that is pretty inexpensive and the ocean rooms seem a bit smaller. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, what is there now in terms of food/minyan? Thank you!

Oceans is much newer, way sleeker and nicer IMO, but it’s possible Borgata has some nicer suites. There is a pizza shop in Margate/Ventnor a few minutes away, Bubbies Bistro, and a Shul near there. I’m not sure which of the other options are still around.
