The Borgata is the new Casino opening this Summer in AC.

From what I understand the cardroom will open in July.

According to TK, the best floor person in AC (he is at the Trop). He told me a few months ago that they are planning to spread just a couple of 5-10 games while focussing on the higher limits. It seems they are perhaps trying to be the Bellagio poker room of the east coast. I wish them luck, but while it would be great for them, its not going to be easy surviving if they dont offer the lower limits at all. I look forward to playing there, and will try to give a trip report the first monday after they open (which I would guess will be by July 4th weekend as I know they have conferences sheduled in July, and doubt they would miss the biggest weekend of the year for AC)

I was talking to a dealer at the Taj earlier. She said when she interviewed for a job as a dealer there that they only planned 10-15 tables and all at mid to high stakes.

Reading through the press releases on the Borgata web site
I saw a story where they will have an 11 ounce Kobe beef hot dog for $19.00. That may be an indicator of what limits they plan to spread. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

All indications point to a Bellagio type poker room. I think they will have a difficult sell at this level. Personally I play 20-40 to 30-60 and occasionally 50-100. At the Taj you are lucky to have a 30-60 game in HE even on the weekends because they protect the 20-40 games. I don't think they will find enough players at this level especially during the week. Anyway these are my thoughts.
