Holiday parties are always a treat, but a holiday party spent mingling with ABC’s Dancing with the Stars professional dancers is a night to remember.

I admit that I love the Jersey-based reality shows. So when the opportunity came to celebrate the 24th birthday of Tracy DiMarco of the Style Network’s Jerseylicious, my coworker and I were more than excited to go.

Fall is upon us, but you can still enjoy some fun times poolside. Just take a trip to Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City.
