Oh yea, we brunched at The Continental in Caesars, along with plenty of other yelpers as the eatery was offering a special deal for the Yelp Spring Break event.

Our boozy brunch started off with two very vibrant orange drinks: a fizzy mimosa for the mister and a peachy sweet astronaut for me.

There was thick French toast with vanilla sweet butter and tart tangy raspberry compote. Not quite like our French toast, but it still stood up to the brunch staple with ease.

Hot heuvos rancheros was served up in a mini skillet, flooded with spicy bean and chorizo chili and perfectly fried eggs served atop a crunchy corn tostada. There was a little avocado crema and chunky salsa to cool the tongue.

To top it all off, a set of six French onion soup dumplings seared the roofs of our mouths with hot cheese and even hotter soup with stringy onions inside of the savory pouch.

The Continental offered us a lovely start to an extremely delicious day.

Even though there was still snow on the ground, a great group of yelpers and their guests headed to the boardwalk and beach-front Caesars and Bally’s casinos for Spring Break Yelp-style in Atlantic City. We all partied hard and ate harder, trying out some of the most delicious bites of the casino strip in Atlantic City.

The festive activities commenced on Friday night with check-in, welcome packets and goodie bags filled to the brim with snackies, and a meet-and-greet with the tastes of Phillip’s Seafood. The happy-hour priced drinks were flowing and it was the perfect way to kick off a tasty and fun event.

The munching continued through a social media scavenger hunt featuring the eateries located in the two hotel-casinos, like The Continental (more later), Gordon Ramsay’s Pub & Grill (stay tuned for more), Boardwalk Cupcakes, and more. A board game themed party inspired by Atlantic City itself with some sweets and savories and an open bar was the culmination of the super spring break event.

My plus one and I definitely had a fun time checking out the view, playing glow in the dark mini golf, brunching and dining and grabbing additional bites from Buddakan (more about this later) and Empire Burger. We even gambled a little!
