Overview
This is the only
property in Atlantic
City that includes the
word spa in its
name. Open only three
years, this major
standout of the dozen
casino properties in
Atlantic City is the
only new gaming property
build in over 13 years
there. It has added just
what Atlantic City
needed, someone to keep
up with. This exclusive
and beautiful property
came with an incredible
$1.4 billion price tag.
Since its opening, this
casino resort has
generated the top
earnings out of all of
the other 11 casinos in
Atlantic City. MGM
Mirage and Boyd Gaming
entered a joint venture
to produce the city’s
biggest and best all
around casino resort.
This mega casino resort
has managed to stay on
top by constantly adding
new, state of the art
and high class amenities
that have attracted high
rollers and famous poker
pros and more.
Borgata’s massive 43
story tower that holds
over 2,000 hotel rooms
is the largest hotel in
the city as well as the
tallest building – not
just in Atlantic City,
but the entire state.
Every hotel room and
suite boasts floor to
ceiling windows
providing the best views
of Atlantic City and the
Atlantic Ocean.
The reason this
mega-resort has been
able to stay on top has
to be the fact that it
never stops coming up
with the best luxurious
customer services. These
services are unparallel
to any other casino in
the area. In the works,
a new hotel tower that
will named The Water
Club at Borgata, will be
sure to launch this
resort even further into
the likes of one of the
best in the world. The
new project has another
impressive price tag of
$325 million. When
complete the new
structure will be the
best the Marina District
will likely ever have to
offer. The views of both
the ocean and bay will
be like no other.
The details we
understand about the new
structure is that it
will open in 2007 and it
will contain 750 regular
hotel rooms, 20 one
bedroom suites, 15 two
bedroom suites, 3
residences with a New
York style loft look to
them and a two story,
mind boggling, luxurious
spa that will command
high in the sky views of
the city. This spa will
have a lap pool and 15
treatment rooms.
Needless to say, this
will blow away any other
spa in Atlantic City.
Already under way, the
Botgata is just
completing $200 million
in upgrades to its
existing resort and
casino. This will be the
place to go and spend
your online poker room
winnings.
The casino area
This place is huge and
that’s a good thing
because this casino is
always busy. The entire
area consists of 135,000
sq. ft. of opulence.
There are 135 table
games, 3,600 slots, and
any online poker
player’s dream for a
poker room. The poker
room always has a
tourney going on it
seems and it is
beautifully decorated.
Even though this casino
could probably offer
less and still be
popular when it comes to
slots, players will be
pleasantly surprised to
see a great selection of
denominations here fro
slot prices.
This casino is home to a
youngish, hip crowd, not
so many of the older
day-trippers head to
this casino, but it has
a lot to offer. It is
very high class yet
casual.
Restaurants
Borgata visitors have
their choice of eleven
different places to eat.
The number one top dog
here is the famed
Specchio. This has
superb Italian fare and

name of the game at Chef
Suzanna Foo’s Suilan.
Old Homestead is the

steak. For more casual
dining there is Gypsy
Bar. Mixx is a great
