An Authentic Atlantic City Experience – Straight from our Concierge!

May 7, 2014 by Brian Burke

Meet Jamie R. Citkowicz!Winkler-Jamie-picture-edit

This long-time resident was named one of Atlantic City’s 40 under 40, and has been on the concierge team in Borgata since 2003. She is now Borgata’s Lead Concierge, and trust us, she knows her stuff!

Here are Jamie’s picks for an authentic Atlantic City experience:

Favorite Attraction: Absecon Lighthouse 

One of the oldest lighthouses in the country, and New Jersey’s Tallest! You’ll see breathtaking views of the Atlantic City skyline, and up top you’ll come face-to-face with the original first-order Fresnel Lens, first lit in 1857.

Located at Pacific and Rhode Island Avenues in Atlantic City

Favorite off-the-beaten-path spot: Vagabond Kitchen & Taphouse

This sports bar and restaurant offers a great selection of beers on tap, and a laid back atmosphere to kick back and relax with friends.

Located at 672 N. Trenton Avenue in Atlantic City.

Best place to meet the locals: Ducktown Tavern

Here’s what you need to know about Ducktown Tavern:
It’s a liquor store and a bar and restaurant in one.
It’s open 24 hours.
They have great happy hour specials.

Oh yeah, and “happy hour” occurs three times in a day: 11am – 1pm, 4pm – 7pm, and 3am – 5am.

Located at 2400 Atlantic Avenue

Best place to treat yourself: Atlantic City Tanger Outlets

Over 100 shops, with something for everyone.

(Hint: be sure to check the website for coupons!)

When you’re there, stop and get a candy apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for a life changing experience.

Located at 1931 Atlantic Ave

Most over-looked hot spot: Gardner’s Basin

In addition to the Atlantic City Aquarium, Historic Gardner’s Basin also features deep-sea and back bay fishing charters as well as dolphin watching, sightseeing and cocktail cruises offered by Atlantic City Cruises.

Located at 800 N. New Hampshire Ave

Where to go before a show at Borgata?

B Bar: Located right in the middle of the casino floor, this is the place to see and be seen. Also smoker friendly.

Long Bar:For the sports fanatic and beer enthusiast. Open early!

Sunroom: Located in The Water Club, Sunroom is great for scenic ambiance and an elegant signature cocktail.

(Hint: After the show, check out the eclectic atmosphere at Gypsy Bar where the bands play late!)

Best farm-fresh produce: Atlantic City Farmer’s Market

Fresh vegetables, fruit, homemade baked goods and crafts!

Open July through September.

Thursdays & Saturdays: 9am – 3pm

Located at Center City Park, South Carolina & Atlantic Ave.

Best Place for Celebrity Sightings: Chef Vola

This hidden Italian BYOB has been historically shrouded in secrecy with an unlisted phone number, and high demand by high-rollers making it difficult to get in. However, once you do, the unforgettable fare makes it all worthwhile. Come hungry, they serve LARGE portions!

Located at 111 S Albion Place

Jamie’s Favorite Hangout (no stalking!): Back Bay Ale House

Located at Gardner’s Basin, Back Bay Ale House offers a unique menu, outside bar, and stunning views overlooking the bay.

800 N. New Hampshire Ave

 

Now that we’ve discussed where you should go, let’s talk about how to get there. Jamie has some advice for how you can get around town like a pro.

When You Arrive:

From Atlantic City International Airport you can take a Jitney Shuttle to any property for only $10.

New Jersey Transit also provides a complimentary shuttle to any property in Atlantic City.

While You’re There:

For smaller groups: The Jitney is a great option to get from one property to another, and is only $2.25 a person.

For larger groups: Taxis are better and are only a maximum of $13 anywhere in Atlantic City

Give Mom the Perfect Day at Spa Toccare

May 5, 2014 by Jen Jones

Let’s face it, everybody’s Mom could use a little pampering. You know, a nice day out at the spa filled with relaxation and treatments designed to relive the tensions of, well, raising and taking care of us.

With Mother’s Day on May 11 and fast approaching, Spa Toccare at the Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa—see spa is even in our name—has the perfect spa packages to help Mom get the pampering she deserves.

And that wasn’t lost on the folks at Philadelphia Style Magazine which named the May (and June as well) specials at Spa Toccare one of “5 Mother’s Day Gifts for Every Mom.”

Specifically, the magazine named all Spa Toccare treatments as the perfect gift for the “Do it All” Mom, but singled out the special hydrating and exfoliating treatment of the Go Coconuts for Massage special.

Check out the story here. 

And here’s the rundown on Spa Toccare’s May & June specials:

New Slots at BorgataCasino.com

May 1, 2014 by Becky Grimm

Since casino gaming came to Atlantic City more than 35 years ago—and then really came to A.C. with style at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in 2003—casino guests have always counted on a little pizzazz in the games they play.

Long gone are the days when a slot machine was just a spinning wheel of bells and cherries. Nowadays, a slot machine is its own little light show with free spins, bonuses and special jackpot rounds. And then came the themes, everything from popular game shows to adventure scenarios can be found in the most popular slots on Borgata’s casino floor.

And now comes BorgataCasino.com. If you haven’t played slots online, then you really haven’t seen anything yet.

Battle for OlympusBorgataCasino.com is ready to take you to the top of the mythological Mt. Olympus to an old time pirate ship on the Spanish Main in a series of new slots games—from Cryptologic and Amaya Games—now live on the website.

Here’s just a couple of examples.

The new five-reel slot Cleo Queen of Egypt takes you to ancient Egypt where there was this queen you may have heard of named Cleopatra. This is Cleo’s reign immortalized in a slot machine. Bells and cherries? This game uses the symbols and sounds of ancient Egypt including Cleo herself, who shows up in the bonus rounds as a wildcard symbol.

Or how about our new Dragon Sword slot, another five-reel slot that offers a great bonus round features? The Dragon Sword Feature is triggered when three or more scattered Sword symbols land on the reels left to right. The player is taken to a screen showing a dragon and five treasure chests, Choose three of those chests to win cash prizes.

The player wins if there is a sword hidden in the treasure chest. If you find the golden sword, the Knight slays the dragon and all prizes are tripled.

Come on, that’s pretty cool.

Here’s all of the new titles now at BorgataCasino.com—Battle for Olympus, Buccaneer’s Bounty, Cash & Clovers, Cleo Queen of Egypt, Conan the Barbarian, Dam Rich, Dragon Sword, Fire Flies, Golden Jaguar, Juju Jack, Medusa, Pints and Pounds, and Savannah Sunrise.

pints-and-poundsCheck out any one of these titles and you’ll probably find a theme you love. One fave is Pints and Pounds, filled with fish-and-chips symbols, and of course beer. More importantly, in the bonus round you get to spin the Pub Grub Wheel for prizes.

But then they are all like that.

Still there’s more to BorgataCasino.com than just slots. We’ve also introducing three new blackjack games—Blackjack Micro-Limit-SP-10, Blackjack-Micro-Limit-SP-25 and Sp Vegas Blackjack.

The days of spinning fruit on slots machines are gone. Check out BorgataCasino.com and have yourself a bonafide slots adventure—with some great blackjack thrown in to boot.
