Nice cozy atmosphere. Seats were comfortable and spacious. Staff was helpful ensuring we were seated properly. Nice selection of adult beverages, but like everything in A.C. the cost of it all is high.

Great venue! Not a bad seat in the house. Be prepared to stand if youre on the floor since everyone in front of you will be standing.

Excellent venue! Clean and still smells new. Not a bad seat in the house and the volume is not overwhelming. Ive sat in the mezzanine for two shows now and our experience has been great.

Kenny G gave a fabulous, thoroughly entertaining evening! He and his longtime entourage make it a worthy experience. Thank you Kenny. First time weve been to his concert. Were going again!

Honestly, just wow. This is probably one of the better venues in Atlantic City aside from Boardwalk Hall. Its clean, easy to get to, and the sound fills the room the right way. Ive been to concerts here and at the new Hard Rock, and this venue still blows the overpriced Hard Rock away. The amenities in the hall are all there from food and bathrooms, tons of walking space, and there really isnt a bad seat in the house. Even other family members have gone here and raved about it. Its worth the hour and a half drive in my opinion.

I was in the Ovation Hall at the Ocean Casino Resort over the weekend for the YCADA Globals. It is Beautiful and spacious. I really appreciate the comfortable seating in the Ovation Hall because I was there for hours sitting and watching the YCADA Globals but I was entertained and comfortable so I didnt mind. I would go to another event at the Ovation Hall in the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

Let me start by stating Ive worked over 1,000 concerts over 20 years as event staff Security at the Wells Fargo Center and Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA.I brought my wife to see Rick Springfield on Friday night (June 21st). It was our first time there. Rick put on a good show. My wife and I had a fun time.It would have been a better time if the security worker Mike who was in front of the stage wouldve been more professional. This man didnt ruin the show for me but he came pretty close.His post was dead center in front of the stage. Rick wanted to interact with crowd that was in the front row.Mike was trying to get the people to move back to their seats even when Rick said more than once to him stop being a buzz kill and leave the fans alone.At one point Rick stopped the show because Mike was being such a distraction that Rick asked him why he was harassing the people. Mike told him it was a safety issue because of the fire marshal.I understand safety issues but this wasnt a safety issue. It was only the people who were in the front row and not alot of other fans trying to rush the stage.Again with my experience working with tour security and being posted in front of the stage, I know for a fact that artists hate seeing security posted right in the middle of the stage. This is where the artist spends most of the night singing and it becomes a distraction when there is a person posted right in front of his microphone.What I would have done is post the four workers in a different spot. Two of them at each end of the stage and the other two in front of the two down isles that border the center seating section. This way staff can protect the stage from two directions. The staff can look in and see the front row for stage jumpers. They can also keep an eye in case someone decides to run down the isle to jump onto the stage. The staff is visible so fans dont try, but if they do the staff is there to stop them.Mike also had to constantly walk back and forth to his co workers on his left and right side. This didnt make sense to me since he had a radio and ear piece to communicate with them.Again this was distracting to Rick and he asked him what they were talking about.The last problem with Mike is when he wasnt driving Rick crazy he was facing the show watching it instead of having his back to the stage and watching the crowd.Ive witnessed tour security ask for a staff member to be replaced for watching the show instead of the crowd. If the staff is watching the show instead of the crowd this gives a fan the opportunity to jump onto the stage.Other things I noticed with security/ushers is there was a commotion between two women by us.One woman was upset that the woman in front of her stood up a couple times to dance in front of her seat.This made viewing the show a little difficult for her. She started yelling at the woman in front of her. The two of them started yelling back and forth at each other which lasted about two minutes.I expected security or an usher to notice this commotion but to no avail.I stepped out of my row to inform the female usher. She got security to go over and speak with the woman who was the one standing but never spoke with the lady who was yelling at her. Security shouldve spoken to both.The last situation I witnessed was after the show. While patrons were exiting the hall, an usher yelled down to another usher how to get the wheel chair patrons down from the last row of the mezzanine. This occurred at least 10 minutes past the end time of the show. At least 95% of the hall was empty so I was somewhat shocked that the usher was just then posing the question. The second usher informed the first as to where the elevator was. This is more of a safety issue than Mike was having during the show while in front of the stage.Overall we did enjoy the show and would return if there is an artist/group we wish to see.I hope to see improvement with staff so they can do their job effectively and professionally. In my next review Id love to give you five stars.

Worst set up for seating and security of any casino I have ever been in. If you want to be herded like cattle this is your place. If you want to feel like a valued patron go to to Borgata.

It was terrible getting out of that place-had to go down 3 escalators- it was jammed packed. Everyone was going out the same way. Thank God there was no emergency. People were running into each other at the bottom of the escalator because it was too crowded. Never again will I go to a show there.
