I love it!

The hotel by itself is a peace of art. The rooms are spacious and beautifull. The restaurants offers the greatest dishes. My favorite is the OLD HOMESTEAD STEAKHOUSE, but IZAKAYA or SEABLUE are very good too. OK, I love this hotel.

• Pros: Rooms, restaurants

SLOT PLAYERS STAY AWAY!!!

by markynj

Borgata has been my house of gambling since the day it opened. I have a four day work, which leaves me a lot of free time. I have made frequent trips to the Borgata the past few years, about once every two or three weeks,

The service and comped rooms are never a problem. I have never been turned down, not even at the last minute.

This is where it gets ugly.

When Borgata first opened, the slots were very loose. ( even J lo's mom won 1 million dollars), you could always gamble for hours on end, never a big win, but always a good play for your buck.

But ever since they started building the new tower, and the revenue decline in Atlantic city 2007, the slot play has become horrible out right disgusting.

the machines have definitely been tightened beyond comprehension. While this may not be apparent to the once in while gambler, as a routine gambler its almost impossible to win now at the Borgata.

My biggest problem is that I didn't see it coming until $12,000 down over a three month period starting Nov. 2007 till present.

The slots eat money like water. The high roller room buzzes with winners for about 10 minutes on a Saturday nite and then goes dead. Lots of sad frustrated high rollers just looking at their face tells you things have gotten very tight.

Its sad to see that the borgata once an beacon in the fog has turned tight like all the rest. Take my advice if you want a casino to gamble stay the hell away from the borgata until they loosen up, which looks like it wont be anytime soon.

not to mention the new 20 something crowd the casino is catering to, loud noisy drunk kids running up and down the slot aisle, not something to hear or watch while your losing your shirt.

SLOT PLAYERS STAY AWAY!!!

• Pros: hotel and spa
• Cons: gambling

Casino not for players

by suzysloan

I went back to the Borgata after being away for a year and it's turned into a poor exp for those of us who enjoy gaming. Yes, some of us like to gamble and don't want or need the belly shots at the bar to have a good time. We're into the casino, gaming, card and dice.

The first thing I've noticed is that the rooms/suites have become run down and dirty. The casino hosts and casino staff are not nice if not down right rude. The casino is filled with drunk kids and I saw stuff go on in a casino that would not be tolerated in Las Vegas or other Atlantic City casinos.

I think the Borgata has turned into a 20 somthing hangout for those that like to act like animals, get drunk, fight, get sick in the halls and trash the rooms.

The Borgata is NOT for the serious player or anyone who is used to Las Vegas style gaming. How are they making money when any serious player will not go back again once they see what the place has become?

• Pros: I hear they are trying to improve service, I have not seen it
• Cons: Poor service, security in casino, a lot of drunk kids, rude staff
