There are a few piers with seats between Harrah’s and Borgata on the walk way, they are the perfect places to stop and take it all in.
The honorable mention which could also be placed in the top 2 or 3 spots is a Sunset Cruise aboard Captains Jeff’s Atlantic City Cruises. Seats on this cruise are tough to get of a hold, but a nice boat ride to the see the Sunset is awesome, cash bar on board. Departs from Gardener’s Basin nightly.
