(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ)  /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Casino Resort will be partying all summer long as it celebrates its 5th Birthday with over $5 million in giveaways and promotions. The celebration begins Memorial Day Weekend and runs through Labor Day, 2023. 

"As we commemorate Ocean's 5th Birthday, we are thrilled to present our customers with a packed calendar of events, promotions, local partnerships and entertainment throughout the entire season," said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort.

Ocean will be kicking off the birthday festivities starting Memorial Day Weekend with a $300,000 Sweepstakes including daily cash and free play prizes of $100,000 on May 26, 27 and 28. Ocean will continue to unveil details on exciting events and promotions for the remainder of the summer with a countdown to the celebration, interactive experiences and the opportunity to sign up for notifications for exclusive announcements at theOceanAC.com/5.

Ocean will celebrate its official birthday on June 28, unveiling a brand-new Birthday Bar Pop-up Experience located at 1927 Lounge, just steps from the casino floor. Open every Thursday to Sunday throughout the summer, the Birthday Bar will be the perfect spot to bask in all the whimsey and eccentricity that comes with celebrating your birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasion.

In addition to the Birthday Bar, Ocean continues to evolve and develop its best-in-class property amenities. Several new openings will add to Ocean's culinary and retail offerings, including: Bottled Wine, Spirits & Tastings – an elevated wine experience featuring enomatic wine dispensers, a wide array of unique vintages for sale and a selection of imported and domestic cheeses, cured meats and handpicked accoutrements; WAVE – a retail experience offering the latest home goods and appliances to drones, laptops and virtual reality devices from Amazon, Dyson, Google Oculus and more top brands; and The Soup Spot – offering a rotating selection of homemade soups crafted by Ocean's talented culinary team.
