Re: How was the Borgata on the 12th?
One week later and everything still looks shiny & new.
On Saturday (the 12th) the "main" poker room was about 2/3 full in mid-afternoon. There's any area that's slightly sectioned off with around 10 tables--only one table was going in that area. The room definitely feels small and being in "the basement" doesn't help the feel of smallness. But the decor was pleasant and the tables & chairs are the nicest in AC. The deli is small but easily accessible and there are tables where you can eat if you don't like eating at the card table. The sports betting room is tiny. The electronic list board is a plus in that it's easy to view the lists but the lists kept moving around (you'll have to see for yourself). My overall impression was small, quiet, but semi-upscale. Elsewhere in the casino...the lunch buffet was nice ($16.95) the highlight being the deserts (should've started with those) and the tasty gelatos. $16.95 seemed a little pricey for lunch, and the dinner buffet was $24.95. There are also some fancy-looking restaurants throughout the casino. There's some of the glass ceiling art similar to the Bellagio but on a smaller scale. And there were a couple of human "statues" that were fun to watch. Borgata reminded me of a scaled-down Bellagio. Pleasant enough, but after about 45 minutes we headed to the Taj to play some poker (which was packed from the time we arrived to the time we left around 12:30 am). |
