 SHOWBOAT HOTEL & CASINO
|
 The
Showboat hotel and casino is located on the Boardwalk at Delaware Ave. It’s the last
casino on the stretch and encroaches into the questionable inlet of Atlantic City.
Harrah’s recently purchased the New Orleans-themed Showboat
Casino Hotel, but thankfully no major changes have resulted from the
merger. The Mississippi River boat theme still exists (the frontage looks just like a
paddle-wheel riverboat), complete with authentic-looking design and live performances.
 The
Showboat doesn’t have any headline entertainment, but they do have continuous live
(and free) performances at the New Orleans Square Bandstand, located near the Boardwalk
entrance. Another attraction is the Mardi Gras Cats, an animatronic band
of cats. This seven-piece band of computerized musicians cost $3.1 million to assemble,
but they perform daily and the litter box stays clean.
 Gaming
at Showboat consists mainly of slots, but there are usually enough table games
available too. The
Showboat is the only casino to offer the Bingo Bonus Slots. It’s a combination of
slots and bingo that can result in some large payouts.
