Atlantic City (Borgata) One Night 3/6/16 Live Trip Report

I usually do live trip reports in Vegas and figured I would do one for my brief Atlantic City Trip. The original plan was for me to go down today, stay the night and my wife was going to drive down Monday morning after the kid gets on the bus. We were going to do the 10 AM $5,000 Bingo. She isn't feeling well, so cancelling Bingo but I am still going down tonight. I also cancelled my day off for Monday since I get up early and will just come home and work from home.

I am staying at The Water Club in a comped room for tonight. I also got a comp ticket for The Comedy Club tonight. I figured I might as well check it out. I cashed in 2 MyVegas rewards, a $10 Bonus Slot Dollar, and some Borgata Paperweight which was only $1,500 points and I can put it on my desk at work. I have a small budget and will play some slots and maybe black jack. My wife is "allowing" me to go since it is my Birthday this coming Friday. I won't be using my budget tracking app like I do in Vegas, since this is a one nighter at one casino.

I should be headed out in a few minutes, I don't expect traffic to be a factor today.

 

Heading out

 

Good Luck. Say hi to Tony the bartender in the B bar. He is short and big arms. Has over served me many a night.

 

Made good time, 46 minutes

 

I parked in the borgata garage rather than do the water club valet.

Here are pictures of borgata entrance from garage and lobby area



A little line to check in. No line at black label checkin

 

Water club lobby and room. There was only one person in line and I didn't see a black label line. They don't have any people corrals so I don't think they expect huge lines or something . I could only reserve a comp 2 queen room but the check in agent was able to give me a king. It is a hearing accessible room but she told me how to turn it off



The checkin agent was very friendly and helpful . She reminds me of my comedy club and bingo reservations . When I said I needed to cancel bingo, she called up and did it for me. It was a great front desk experience.
























First time in a hotel room that didn't have white sheets

 

This is next to Harrah's correct? We will be going to H in May, but plan to spend some time at Borgata as well. I understand they smile upon CET Diamond members. Thanks for the pix!

 

with CET diamond, you will be tier matched to Borgota Black

Yes in the marina near hurrahs. As ngrund indicates you can match to black label. I matched to black label using my MLIFE gold.

 

Casino crowded, probably because of $777 slot dollar promotion they have going on

 

Thanks for posting pics Fligster Looking at photos is getting me ready for when i get there March 31 for 3 days Best of Luck to you

 

Thanks I need it, quickly lost a $100 plus my $10 MyVegas slot dollars playing wheel of fortune slot

 

Picked up my paperweight. From the instructions i thought I would get a voucher and have to go to gift shop or something, but the My Borgata guy went in the back and got it for me, so that was easy



Probably going to hit the buffet before the promotion ends at 7 pm and everyone heads to eat

 

Get to avoid this line, still a short line for black label though

 

Never been there, so I'm really diggin' the vicarious Borgata internet tour/experience. lol

- Good luck & enjoy!

 

Buffet. Will try and see price when leave, I paid $10 comp dollars as a black label benefit

Some food porn














Was a little slow for waiter to get my drink order, it is jammed in here

 

Desserts. It looks like dinner may be around $34, I would not recommend it. For $10 comp dollars it is ok but i wouldn't pay $34. Lunch here a couple months ago seemed better, tonight the food wasn't great and the desserts I had were dry and flavorless

 

Played "a Christmas story" and cashed out $101 so only down $20 right now

 

Borgata now charges a $10 resort fee which includes cr*ppy internet

 

Keep up the winning ways Flig! Agree with your assessment of buffet. Worth it for $10.00 not for $34.00. Seems that after renovation food isn't as good
