From Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is the nearest airport to Harrah's Resort Atlantic City Hotel & Casino; the property is about 25 km from ACY. The drive time depends on traffic and route choice.
Options from ACY include taxi or rideshare directly to the Marina district, rental car, or prearranged hotel transfer if available from third-party providers.
- Taxi / rideshare: direct door-to-door service to 777 Harrah's Blvd.
- Rental car: follow Atlantic City Expressway to the Marina/Harrah's area; note the hotel's self-parking and valet options (fees apply).
- Shared shuttles / private transfer: check availability and pre-book with local providers.

| Shuttle / Transfer | Availability varies; pre-book to guarantee pickup |

From Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is a common alternative for arrivals. PHL is farther from Atlantic City than ACY and typically requires a longer drive.
Travel options include renting a car or arranging a taxi/rideshare. You can also travel by train or bus into Atlantic City from Philadelphia, then use local transit or the AC jitney to reach Harrah's.
- Driving / rideshare: direct drive into Atlantic City; parking at Harrah's is available (self or valet for a surcharge).
- Public transit option: use regional rail or bus to Atlantic City Rail Terminal, then the AC jitney or local taxi to the Marina district.
- If using rail, check arrival times and jitney schedules — the AC jitney links the rail terminal with casino stops.
| Route | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Drive or rideshare | When you prefer door-to-door service or have luggage |
| Train + AC Jitney | When you want to avoid highway traffic and parking |
| Intercity bus | Can be an economical option; arrives at bus terminal near rail connections |
From Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Newark Liberty International (EWR) is farther from Atlantic City but can be useful because of frequent flights and transit links. Public-transit connections from Newark are available but typically take longer than a direct car or rideshare.
If you prefer public transit, consider taking a NJ Transit or Amtrak service toward the Philadelphia/Newark corridor and then transferring to NJ Transit lines or bus services that connect to Atlantic City, finishing with the AC jitney or a short taxi to Harrah's.
- Direct car/rideshare: simplest but a long drive; parking fees at Harrah's apply.
- Train connection: use NJ Transit/Amtrak to a transfer point, then NJ Transit or bus to Atlantic City Rail Terminal.
- Plan extra time for transfers; Newark-to-Atlantic City public-transit connections are less direct than Philadelphia options.
| Option | Pros |
|---|---|
| Car / Rideshare | Fastest door-to-door time depending on traffic |
| Train + Bus | Can avoid highway driving; more transfers involved |
| Pre-booked private shuttle | Convenient for groups or heavy luggage |

NJ Transit buses (for example, Route 501) run through Atlantic City and stop near the Marina district and casino corridor; schedules and routes run 24 hours on some lines.
