Hip-Hop's royal couple Sean "Jay-Z" Carter and Beyonce Knowles celebrated the one-year anniversary of J's "40/40" club in Atlantic City.

If you're in the tri-state area "40/40" is THE hot spot to be seen at!

"Jay-z is in the hizzy. Atlantic City's 40/40 Club is modeled after the successful club in NYC. The name is derived from the very exclusive group of players who hit 40 home runs and stole 40 bases in the same season - the rare combination of speed and power.The multi-level upscale sports bar and lounge, located at 2120 Atlantic Avenue at The Walk and right next to Caesars Casino, features more than 30 Plasma screen TV's and a huge projection TV right over the bar. There are many exclusive VIP rooms (reserved with names like ESPN, Caesars, Arod). The main TV has 'stadium' like seating by the main bar-perfect for watching the big game in style.March Madness and the Super Bowl in Atlantic City will never be the same. The 40/40 is THE place to come for any sporting event or even just hang out.As you might have guessed, the music at the 40/40 is bumpin'. It's a mix of rap and hip hop that keeps the mood upbeat. There's a DJ booth that overlooks the main bar area and it's not unusual to see some dancing at half time or late night.The club is also home to a cigar lounge and retail shop that features 40/40 Club clothing and accessories. Rap Star and mogul Jay-Z owns the $4 million club along with partners Desiree Gonzalez and Juan Perez. The enormous 15,000 square foot ultra sports bar and lounge opened on Oct 25, 2005 with a star-studded VIP party."
