There's much to love about Atlantic City over Valentine's Day weekend. 

There are a plethora of dining, dancing and hotel options at each casino.

Going to the Chapel of Love

For those who are feeling very romantic, couples can renew vows at the Tropicana's Boogie Nights.

The retro dance club will hold its annual Valentine's Day Ball on Friday, with a mass vow renewal presented by the Atlantic City Chapel of Love. 

An Elvis impersonator and officiant will host the event.

The mass vow renewal will take place shortly after the doors open at 9 p.m. 

Folks don't have to go any further for the reception. It's an evening full of dancing, Valentine's Day inspired cocktails and photo ops. 

“The AC Chapel of Love is no ballroom wedding; it is the ultimate party and celebration of love,” said David Pena, creator of the Boogie Nights Dance Club and Atlantic City Chapel of Love. “We’ve never seen a wedding chapel like this here on the East Coast and in our home of Atlantic City. Boogie Nights is the perfect venue for couples looking for out-of-the-box, no-fuss options to say, ‘I do."
