Every girl loves to be pampered. Whether you just buy the spa pass or book a treatment such as massage and facial, having a spa day is every girl’s wish. Most four star hotels in Atlantic City have a nice spa with complete amenities from relaxation room to the steam room. Based on my experience,  Golden Nugget Hotel and Spa  is definitely one of most romantic spots for Valentine’s day in New Jersey.  So if you want to impress her, this can be your chance to shine like a knight in shining armor.

5. Party cruise

All party animals out there will love this idea. Unlimited drink and food while you are dancing to your favorite tune. You will be cruising along between two states of New Jersey and New York, passing the statue of liberty and Manhattan. The cruise usually leaves from a marina in Weehawken.
