Went down on a Friday after work with a few buddies to gamble and party. Had a wonderful time. The resort is beautiful. Beautiful exterior, beautiful lobby, beautiful rooms, and really cool grounds. Everything about it looks modern and luxurious.

We were upgraded to a suite on the 31st floor. The view was incredible. The bathroom was massive and really upscale (huge closet, toilet area and walk in shower). The beds were really comfortable and all the furniture in the suite was modern and luxurious. Only complaint with the room was that it didnt have a plasma. Upscale place like this should have those now. Wish I known, would have invited more friends and thrown a kick ass party. Oh well, cant complain.

Valet Parking for $5 flat rate was great.

We had dinner in one of the prviate rooms at the Wolfgang Puck American Grill. Delicious dinner, wonderful service. Much better than the Wolfgang Puck Cafe in Orlando- why so inconsistent?

Drank waaay too much wine, but that was my fault, not Wolfgang's.

Breakfast the next morning ($50 comped) at Metropolitan was pretty decent, but the server seemed really pissed off and I had to bully the pit boss the night before to get the comp.

The casino was packed, but found a $15 table somewhere in the back and didn't leave. They let me stay playing $15 even as they upp'ed it to $30. Other players were jealous as hell. Borgata Babes are the bomb!! Wish we could get these hotties to work your average Marriott too.

Everything would have been perfect except for that the fact that approaching this hotel is an abomination. The signage off Huron Ave (aka Marina Blvd) is a joke- one small sign pointing to the right you barely notice just as your driving past the turn off. Once you overshoot that road you end up at the Trump Marina and Harrahs who despite not wanting to go to, seem *too* accesible. Than we followed some signs around MGM Mirage Blvd which got us to the loading dock, had to enter and exit the self park area (clerk let us through in a sec- obviously we were not the first) and still got lost. What a joke. About 25 mins later, somehow after following every last awful sign somehow made it to the entrance. Pathetic.

Oh well, of course im coming back, but ill be safe and rent a gps receiver.

I have read a few reviews about The Borgata and I must say, people complain about the smallest things.

I am a "Black Label"card holder at the facility and as such, I am treated very well. I am not a huge gambler, but when I do, I prefer to spend my gambling budget at the Borgata. As a Black Label holder, you sometimes get preference for rooms and resturants.

Rooms

The rooms are very chic and trendy. Art Deco-ish. I have stayed in their standard rooms and also their suites. Each offers comforts and amenities like home.

Dining

The dining establishments are very nice, except the Metropolitian Cafe. I don't like it, and have yet to have a good meal there. The buffet is very good, but it is expensive. There is a good variety of food. I just wish they would have more salad items.

Bobby Flays was very good. My steak was cooked to perfection and the service was wonderful. The seating is a little tight, but it was not uncomfortable.

Old Homestead is also good. I thought that the my steak could use more seasoning. The appetizers were the best, especially the American Carpicio (which is no longer on the menu).

The Cafeteria is good for something quick. Fat Burger is the Best! But be careful, if you use your comps, it's two for one...this I don't like.

Wolfgang Pucks was also good. Don't get the liver though. One of my party members did, and it was not the most pleasing item. The Antipasto Plate is to die for!!

Now is great for Chinese. It get's very crowded, but the food is wonderful.

Gambling

Since I don't play the tables, can't comment on them except that they are always crowded. The Borgata offers a great variety of slots both reel and video. I prefer the themed video slots with mutiple lines. I have won some and lost some there. But my sentiment is, if you can't afford to lose it, don't gamble. Of course, the slots can be tight at times (usually on a gift or money give away night), but mostly it good entertainment. They offer one cent on up!

Hopes this helps someone thinking about going to the Borgata.

Attentive to your every need and we all but jump through hoops to make your stay a great one. Rooms even the basic are far superior to other Casino's in Atlantic City and the Casino is clean and well kept. The buffet is excellent and the Comedy Club has excellent entertainment, but it is in a theater seating which was basicly the only downside we could find on our 3 day visit. We are absolutely going back as this was a 5 star in our book.

I used my travel agent discount at this property. It's HUGE, and difficult to find your way around. The rooms are great -- even though we had a view of the parking lot. FABULOUS BATHROOM!! Smoking is allowed in the casino, so that was a turnoff. Great restaurants, but a bit pricey. Bobby Flay was excellent. Lots of kids at holiday times. The shops are all very pricey.
