Sweet land of Libertinis: the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park's "Libertini" cocktail.

Every summer, we do our best to round up our picks for the Best Hotels for Fourth of July Fireworks — they're the ones with the rooftops and the kickass views of whatever fireworks displays are goin' on in some of the biggest cities.

This year, we took our search nationwide and have hand-picked the hotels across the country that we think are offering up the sweetest Independence Day packages, the most patriotic amenities and, of course, very best fireworks views.

Chelsea AC Lights Up Sign, Does Not Open Doors

Where: 111 S Chelsea Ave [map], Atlantic City, NJ, United States, 08401

We hope you're sitting down because we have big, big news: Tuesday night, the Chelsea Hotel Atlantic City lit up its sign.

Take a moment to lift your jaw from the floor.

To clarify, it did not open. And it won't be officially opening until August 1st. But it did turn on its sign to kick off what is apparently a month-long series of summer opening events.

The Courier-Post says:

The signage lighting of the luxury non-gaming boutique hotel on the boardwalk symbolizes what the Chelsea will bring to Atlantic City when it opens in August -- refinement, color and vivacity. The sign changes color with the seasons and celebrates American holidays.

If that isn't enough to get you into the holiday spirit, more Atlantic City festivities will be happenin' tonight, too -- the Borgata and Harrah's Atlantic City will be jointly hosting a fireworks show.

One more thing: if you plan on checkin' out AC this weekend, be sure to do your research first.
