DJ Smooth takes The Pool After Dark at Harrah's on Saturday, Nov. 21

Harrah's Saturday-night regular has a date on the books for the weekend before Thanksgiving. Here's what to know.

Atlantic City's indoor pool party doesn't stop for the season. While the boardwalk goes quiet for winter, the glass dome at Harrah's keeps its Saturday-night lineup going. DJ Smooth is on the calendar at The Pool After Dark on Saturday, November 21, 2026.

The date was announced October 20 and is on the venue's own event calendar. Tickets are on Tixr, which lists general admission from $13. The night is 21 and over, and the venue's calendar offers VIP tables if your group wants somewhere to sit.

DJ Smooth isn't a one-off booking for this room. Harrah's lists him as one of its permanent acts, under the banner "Saturdays After Dark," according to the resort's Wikipedia entry. If you've been to The Pool on a Saturday, you may already have heard him. A dated, ticketed listing like this one tells you he's the name behind that specific night. That's useful the weekend before Thanksgiving, when plenty of people are planning a night in AC with friends who are in town.

The setting is the draw. The Pool After Dark is Harrah's nightlife space built around the resort's indoor pool, at 777 Harrah's Boulevard in the Marina District. It holds about 2,000, so a Saturday there feels more like a club night with water than a hotel lounge. Its Tixr page shows the range of the room: touring names like Chris Lake and Louie DeVito have played under the same roof, alongside nights like SHIFT and Chris Devine. The resident Saturday slot holds that calendar together between the bigger bookings.

That's why a resident DJ's date counts as news for a local guide. The big names come and go. The regular is who keeps the floor going on the other Saturdays, and for many South Jersey regulars, that is the night they know.

A few practical notes. The night runs late, so plan your ride home or book a room before you go. The listed $13 is a starting price. Bring ID: the venue is strict about 21+, and the door is not where you want to find out your license expired. Check the venue's Pool After Dark page for dress code and entry details before you head over.

And if a group is coming, VIP tables are bookable through the event calendar. They're worth pricing out against individual tickets if you'd rather not spend the night standing.

Saturday, November 21, The Pool After Dark at Harrah's. The boardwalk may be in hibernation, but the dome isn't.
