Individual rooms are combined to form larger dressing rooms and stage areas, which is what you would typically expect.

The center has two floors until this last weekend (the NUVO convention and competition), I had only been on the first floor. The glass doors to the conference center can be accessed from the resort, right near the Coastal Craft Kitchen and Bar restaurant. Once you enter the conference center through the glass doors, you need to walk to the other end to access the escalators. Below, I give my unbiased, unvarnished opinion of our experiences with both competitions and conventions while Harrah’s has a special place in my heart (it was the last casino my father visited, and I sit at his favorite slot for a few minutes each time I go), there are areas that could be greatly improved. The center is adjacent to the resort hotel, which makes it a good fit for dance competitions and conventions.īut as is the case with all venues, there are pros and cons associated with attending a dance event here.

Back in 2015, the resort opened its 100,000 square-foot Waterfront Conference Center, boasting two floors and space enough for about 60 smaller ballrooms (for larger events, they’re combined to make bigger spaces). We’ve been attending Starpower Nationals at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for several years. This is especially true when the event is held at Harrah’s, which is the casino I frequent the most (although hardly ever anymore, thanks to those pesky dance bills). Because I am certainly my father’s daughter, I’ve been known to enjoy some time in Atlantic City, dubbed “America’s Playground” and “Monopoly City.” So when our dance competitions or conventions are held there, I know the general lay of the land.
