Jersey Shore is heading to South Beach — but the cast’s culture of “Gym-Tan-Laundry,” has made a lasting impression of the good people of the Garden State.
The Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City has introduced the “Jersey Shore Package,” which offers fans of the wildly-popular MTV series the chance to recreate the same “high-energy nightlife fun” that reality TV’s famed guidos & guidettes experienced when they visited the establishment in an episode of the reality show that first aired last fall.
Priced at a cool $878 per night, The Jersey Shore package promises overnight accommodations, dinner at gourmet Italian restaurant Il Verdi, VIP admission to an assortment of AC clubs, and a gift certificate to the Tropicana salon, where a professional stylist will adorn you with your very own Snooki Poof!
For those looking for a more exclusive experience at The Shore, the resort is offering the “Very Important Guidos Package.” Book the room where Sammi slugged The Situation for calling Snooki fat for $4,230 per night.
In a press release issued last month, Tropicana President Mark Giannantonio says the resort regularly receives requests from costumers who want to stay in the suites the cast inhabited during their stay at the resort last summer, prompting the casino to create the new package.
“Let’s face it, the Jersey Shore reality show is a hot topic. We’ve received so many requests for the Jersey Shore suite since the episode at The Tropicana aired, we were inspired to recreate the fun with this package and help our guests enjoy a whole new energy here at the hotel.”
At least one group isn’t jumping for glee at the chance to channel their inner J-WOWW at the Tropicana. Andre Dimino, National President of UNICO, the largest Italian service organization in America and an outspoken critic of the successful reality series says he’s horrified by news of the package.
“They should be ashamed of themselves because of the damage they’re doing to our heritage and to young people effected by this. They’re just capitalizing and perpetuating the negative stereotype.”
