Played the Borgata Sunday Nite yesterday. Nice tournament.

Absolutely decent structure, t5,000 to start (freeze out), 25 min levels, starting at t25/t50.

$85 + $15 buy-in, 76 players, very mixed field including clue-less newbs and WSOP veterans. Approximately 20% female players, generally a pleasant cheerful spirit, decently dressed and not smelly opponents (which matters to me). A good age mix, I felt neither too young or too old (I'm 46). Not too many out-of-line celebrations, not to many nasty comments when someone sucked out.

To comparison I played the Taj's Saturday night tourney half a year ago and found the ambience to be somewhat less than playful, odorless or pleasant there.

A couple of the dealers was truly top of the line, a couple in the other end of the range, but the TD seemed to know what he was doing.

Ended after 6 hours chopping 4-way for $1,300. I'll definitively play again.

Best,
