Porter Robinson brings unabashed electro to Atlantic City
In early November, seemingly unaware that it was no longer summer, hundreds of well-dressed twenty-somethings packed the mahogany dance floors of Revel Casino's HQ Nightclub just to catch a glimpse of Porter Robinson. A staple of East Coast night life throughout the summer, HQ and it's host hotel Revel have not missed a beat since the change of the seasons, riding a wave of buzz following Tiësto's Beach Club set on its closing weekend. Now well into the fall, its nightlife remains un-phased. Porter Robinson's debut at the seaside club drew a sold out crowd from Philadelphia and New York City, all eager to see the electro house DJ outside the confines of warehouses and festivals.

Like any native of New Jersey, much of my younger 20s were spent stumbling through the neon lit and awkwardly carpeted atriums of Atlantic City's dated casinos. In terms of luxury and elegance there wasn't much to look forward to along the Jersey coastline. Debauchery? yes, luxury? hell no. When news of Revel's development began, our eyes once again looked towards the Jersey coast. Their mission was bold - make Atlantic City a destination for more than just geriatrics on slot machines. It's aim was to bring all of the luxury and grandeur of Vegas's preeminent hotels to the North East, giving the residents of New Jersey and New York a Vegas of their own. The second we set foot inside the world class establishment last summer for Avicii's performance at Ovation Hall, there was no question -- they had succeeded.

Boasting an unprecedented lineup for the days leading up to 2013, HQ and Revel have established themselves as the premiere hotspot for dance music in Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, New Jersey is known for it's general debauchery and plethora of events but it's grungy, grimy setting often discourages people from making the trip. However, HQ Nightclub and HQ Beach Club at Revel are attempting to change that image by introducing a variety of sleeker events at their more sophisticated venues.
