Borgata’s MIXX Dominates AC Weekly Nightlife Awards

January 30, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

Our friends at Atlantic City Weekly hit on a great idea about seven years ago when they came up with the idea for the AC Weekly Nightlife Awards. Not only did they honor all of the great nightlife in Atlantic City, they went to the true experts to figure out which clubs and casinos should be singled out each year.

Those experts were their readers, which is basically you, the beautiful people that make the Atlantic City scene happen.

As you might expect, Borgata Nightlife has had a pretty healthy representation in the awards through the years (Thanks to your votes) and this year, 2015, we’re positively swooning over the love you’ve shown to MIXX, one of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s premiere nightclubs and party spots.

MIXX took first place honors in eight different categories.

Best Singles Scene (Casino) MIXX (Winner)

Best Party Night MIXX (Winner)

Best Industry Night (MIXX)

Best After-Hours Spot (Casino) MIXX

Best Place for Girls’ Night Out (Casino) MIXX (Winner)

Best Place for Guys’ Night Out (Casino) MIXX (Winner)

Best Bottle Service – MIXX (Winner)

Best Drink Specials (Casino) – MIXX (Winner)

Kind of makes you think that MIXX is the place to be in Atlantic City.

MIXX also was runner up in the best dance floor category. Borgata also took runner-up in Best Casino Nightclub to Spot a Celebrity (mur.mur) and Best Comedy Club (Borgata Comedy Club).

This is a great honor for all of us here at Borgata and it goes without saying (though we are saying it) that we owe it all to you.

2015 is going to be a great year at MIXX, mur.mur and all throughout the Borgata Nightlife scene. So let’s get the party started (like it ever ends?).

Big Game Specialty Drinks at Long Bar

January 28, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

When the big game goes off February 1 in Glendale Arizona, there’ll be a lot of different ways to make it known which side you’re rooting for … wearing your team’s jersey, waving flags and banners, just being really loud about it.

But here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa—especially at Borgata’s Long Bar—you can add one more dimension. You can drink the drink of your would-be champions.

Whether you’re a die-hard super-fan or just enjoy trying new and fun libations, Borgata has the perfect offerings to quench any fan’s thirst this weekend. In anticipation of New England taking on Seattle, Borgata will offer specialty cocktails at Long Bar leading up to the big game. And we promise that all of our specialty drinks will be properly inflated.

Check out our list of specialty drinks:

PATRIOTS

Throw on your oldest hooded sweatshirt and tip your glass to the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years.

MIXX Winter Music Series Continues with DVBBS and W&W

January 26, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

Winter isn’t letting up so neither is Borgata Nightlife’s Winter Music Series at MIXX which continues February 6 with DVBBS and then February 13 with W&W.

It’s kind of the initial phase of the Winter Music Series to start off the month. Get it? Initials – DVBBS and W&W?

Anywaaay …

The month starts off with DVBBS — the Canadian Dance Music duo of brothers Chris Andre and Alex Andre van den Hoef, best known for their joint international hit with Borgeous titled “Tsunami.” The vocal remix of “Tsunami (Jump)”, featuring Tinie Tempah, reached number 1 on the UK and Scotland charts. Of course we have them in Atlantic City, after the brothers finish up a Brazilian swing on their latest tour.

While “Tsunami” may be what they are best known for, a look at their follow-ups, such as “Pyramids” featuring Sanjin shows a diversity you might not expect from a Canadian duo.

“Pyramids” channels the same percussive intensity of “Tsunami” but mixes it with Jamaican influences. “It feels so good to bring back our reggae roots,” the duo tells Billboard. “We’ve been wanting to crossover with a reggae vibe for quite some time. It all started at a hotel in Sweden with our homie Sanjin. The next day we hit a studio in Amsterdam and the track was coming to life.”

So, you know, reggae roots from a couple of guys from Ontario.

Advance tickets are $30 and available here.

Up next in the Winter Music Series is W&W, a Dutch electronic music duo consisting of Willem van Hanegem and Wardt van der Harst coming off 2014s success with “Shocker” with Headhunterz.

As W&W puts it on their webpage—fusing styles and mixing influences W&W combine the uplifting and melodic elements of trance with the raw intensity of electro and progressiveness of house to create a sound uniquely their own.

“Shocker” is as much of a crossover tune as you can possibly have and it’s the meeting of three ridiculously talented minds – W&W’s electro-tinged festival rhythms and Headhunterz driving hardsyle beats are joined together with a crispy distorted vocal. It’s supported by heavyweights including Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Nicky Romero and Blasterjaxx, among others.

The duo’s current tour has them crossing the pond quite often as they split between U.S. and European clubs. And their Atlantic City appearance at MIXX is all part of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s master plan to bring you the best DJs and shows in the world.

Advance tickets are $40 and available here,

Hey. it’s never a cold winter’s night at Borgata.

Lisa Lampanelli at Borgata’s Event Center February 15

January 23, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

When comic Lisa Lampanelli takes the stage—as she will February 15 at Borgata’s Event Center—she’s not exactly subtle about what you can expect.

Things are going to get rough.

Lampenelli dubs herself comedy’s Queen of Mean—though a lovable Queen of Mean—and even uses the web address insultcomic.com for her website. That’s pretty much telling it like it is.

Brash, dirty, politically incorrect, really dirty, unsettling, really, really dirty, savage – look, the chick is dirty … they’re all pretty accurate descriptions of Lampanelli’s act.

And in recent years, thanks to appearances on Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show (where he can go off uncensored) as well as a host of Comedy Central roasts and her own HBO comedy special “Long Live the Queen,” Lampanelli’s stock keeps rising. It also didn’t hurt that she was on season five of “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Lampanelli comes to Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa this time out as a changed woman. Oh, she’ll still skewer anyone—including herself—but coming off a failed marriage, she’s lost about 100 pounds and has given herself a new look.

“It’s so dramatic, I don’t recognize myself. I want to get out and date properly now that my divorce is final. Those experiences will make for great stories in the future shows,” Lampanelli recently told the Las Vegas Sun.

But that change hasn’t affected her stand-up, you know the lovable Queen of Mean.

“I don’t want to upset anybody,” she says. “They paid good money for their tickets, so I’m here to make people laugh. People will accept edgy comics so long as we are funny. Yes, I am an insult comic, but I bring the audience together.”

In another interview, Lampanelli explains how she can get away with insulting pretty much everyone.

“I think insult comedy is more a place of liking every group so much that they never think you mean what you say,” she tells the Arizona Republic. “If I make fun of every ethnic group and sexual persuasion, I obviously am joking and trying to bring people together. So having zero prejudice and love for everybody is more the game.”

So is Lampanelli softening on stage? You know, bringing the love?

Don’t bet on it.

Tickets for Lisa Lampanelli February 15 at the Borgata Event Center are $49.50 & $59.50 and available here.

Borgata Instant Bonus January 22 – 24

January 22, 2015 by Becky Grimm Leave a Comment

We all love a bonus and want a bonus. Let’s face it, most of us could really use a bonus. But did you ever think about the word “bonus?” We mean really think about it.

Now, of course a bonus can come at work or be an extra free throw when the other team has gone over the foul limit. But this is the definition that we’re talking about today.

“Something welcome and often unexpected that accompanies and enhances something that is itself good”—from whatever they call the Google dictionary (which is possibly Google dictionary).

That’s the kind of bonus we like here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. Especially when we talk about BONUS SLOT DOLLARS®.

Starting today, Thursday, January 22 through Saturday January 24, slots players at Borgata can receive instant bonuses while playing. Think about it. You’re just playing Borgata’s wide selection of slots, enjoying the action and Bam … you win a bonus between $1 and $100 in BONUS SLOT DOLLARS®.

That’s something good, kind of unexpected (well, this blog post aside) and it definitely enhances something already good, which is playing at Borgata.

See. Bonus. Very cool.

And we could be talking lots of bonuses as players can receive up to 10 Instant Bonuses. Each Instant Bonus is a Guaranteed SLOT DOLLAR® Winner. Watch the card reader screen for the Borgata INSTANT BONUS button.

Here’s are Q&A on the Borgata Instant Bonus promotion:

Q: How do I receive a Borgata Instant Bonus?

A: Play slots at Borgata from Thursday, January 22 – Saturday, January 24 using your My Borgata Rewards card. When the required amount of play has been reached, the Borgata Instant Bonus button will appear on the iView card reader screen on your next card in.

Q: Do I have to be invited to be eligible for Borgata Instant Bonus?

A: No – Borgata Instant Bonus is available to all My Borgata Rewards cardholders who play slots and reach the required amount of play.

Q: What do I win with Borgata Instant Bonus?

Q: How many Borgata Instant Bonuses can I receive?

Savor Borgata Presents ‘Bubbles … By Veuve Clicquot’ February 14

January 21, 2015 by Ryan Ross Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is the holiday of romance, as we all know, but when it comes to celebrating it, well, a little elegance can go a long way.

Now don’t get us wrong. If you and your honey like to toast Valentine ’s Day with a can of beer and a bag of Fritos, more power to you.

But every now and then, it’s worth a bit of indulgence to do Valentine’s Day right. Say with a few glasses of some of the world’s most famous champagnes along with light nibbles prepared by Borgata’s world-class chefs.

And as luck would have it, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has a Valentine’s Day event exactly like that. On Saturday, Febraury 14, Borgata presents Bubbles … by Veuve Clicqout as part of the Savor Borgata Series in our Tesoro Lounge at 4pm.

Here’s the description from Savor Borgata:

“Spend the afternoon with Veuve Clicquot and enjoy an escalating flight of bubbles. Taste everything from Clicquot’s simplest house to their renowned La Grande Dame while enjoying light nibbles to complement the flavors and aromas of each champagne.”

But here’s a little more to that rundown than meets the eye. Simply put, Veuve Clicquot is the name in champagne (which is always French by the way, as opposed to sparkling wine.) The French Champagne House was founded in 1772, making it older than the U.S. itself.

In 1811, Veuve Clicquot is credited with creating the methods for making modern champagne with its comet vintage. The brand even outdates labels, with early vintages marked by Veuve Clicquot’s famed anchor symbol within the glass of the bottle itself.

Want one more? Veuve Clicquot is the champagne Bogie and Ingrid Bergman drank in Casablanca. That’s the very definition of romance.

This is some serious champagne history. Veuve Clicquot has been around so long that some of the most valuable bottles of champagne in the world are hundreds-of-years-old bottle of Veuve Clicquot found on 19^thcentury shipwrecks.

It’s a tradition that remains to this day under Veuve Clicquot’s motto “Only one quality, the finest.” And as part of the Bubbles … by Veuve Clicquot event, you’ll taste Le Grande Dame, one of the most celebrated champagnes ever.

Kind of makes you want to rethink the can of beer and Fritos thing doesn’t it?

Tickets for Bubbles … by Veuve Clicquot are $69 per person and available here.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
