On Fright Night, there will be so many fantastic events going on you should be scared to miss out on any of them. Get your Halloween best ready, as this year is one for big cash prizes and even bigger star-studded events.

Start things off early, at Providence inside The Quarter at the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City for its Industry Halloween Bash, especially for those who work so hard to make Atlantic City the awesome resort town it is. Costumed contestants will compete for prizes ranging from $500 to $1,000 with presentation of your wildest ensemble and your InCard. The Providence industry party begins at 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29.

But the Tropicana Halloween fun doesn't stop there. Its yearly Ring-Around-the-Casino Costume Contest begins at Hooter's at 11 p.m. Saturday. Don your best costume for a chance at a wicked cash prize of $666. Didn't make the cut? Try your luck again at A Dam Good Sports Bar for another $666 prize at 1 a.m. Your last chance happens at 3 a.m. at Firewaters, again for a $666 grand prize.

All restaurants and bars inside The Quarter will feature special Halloween drinks such as The Pumpkin Eater, The Greatful Dead, Jager Monster, Green Demon and a Pumpkin Pie Martini. If you're a Diamond Club Member or have an InCard, you can also participate in the Fiesta Plaza costume contest, which begins at 11 p.m. with prizes varying from gift cards to cash. Call 609-345-7800.

If you're looking for a little mischief, look no further than Dusk inside Caesars Atlantic City, Friday, Oct. 30, where you'll find DJ Royale. As he spins a spooky mix of dance beats, you can eye up your costume competition. Come mischief night, Saturday, it'll be hard to beat the guest of honor, Audrina Patridge, as she hosts her "I Dream of Audrina" party. Guests are encouraged to dress up like a television character. Both parties begin at 10 p.m. Call 609-313-DUSK.

Famous socialites won't be the only thing you're dreaming about on Saturday, especially if you find yourself at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, where Halloween has been taken over by Playboy Playmate Shannon James. James will mosey from Gypsy Bar to mixx and on through mur.mur to help judge costume contests and shake some rattling bones.

At each venue, the best costume will receive a $1,000 cash prize. Mixx has music by DJ Irie, while D-Nice mixes it up at mur.mur. DJ Rukus keeps the wild night going into November as he turns up the volume on mur.mur Monday, Nov. 2, with a Halloween bash especially for those in the industry. Don't miss your final chance at a $1,000 grand cash prize for best costume. All parties begin at 10 p.m.

As Saturday night sets in, the vampires come out. If you want star-studded action, then The Pool at Harrah's Resort should be your No. 1 Halloween stop. Join the cast of "Twilight" as they celebrate a vampire's favorite time of year. Edi Gathegi, Chaske Spencer and Alex Meraz will be on hand to host one of the hottest Halloween howl-downs in Atlantic City. And if that isn't enough, musical guest Snoop Dogg will perform as an afterparty treat.

Tickets are priced at $20 and may be purchased in advance at www.areaevent.com. Advance tickets are highly recommended.

Reserve an "Into the Twilight" room package, which includes one night's stay in the Waterfront Tower with entrance to The Pool's Halloween party, as well as a private cocktail party with the opportunity to meet the "Twilight" stars.
