so call the borgata, ask to be connected to the poker room, and do i provide a credit card number in advance?

is it pretty much assured that they will honor the rate when i do arrive?

I used to stay for the poker rate all the time last winter and spring, atleast 2 times a week. Back then it was only 40/night, i see ur staying fri-sat so maybe that is why its more. When i stayed at the poker rate i had to call up from the poker room and they would give me one from there, if i didnt play my 8 hours i'd be charged regular price. I never tried calling ahead for a room at the poker rate and i'm not sure if they let you do that, i think you have to have atleast some time, like an hour or so of time logged for that day before they give you it.
