Borgata Online Winners for February 16 – 22

February 27, 2015 by Becky Grimm Leave a Comment

winner-blog3Another week and another about $90,000 in online winnings to report at Borgata’s online casino sites BorgataCasino.com and BorgataPoker.com.

It’s getting to be par for the course.

But if there’s one lesson to be learned from the online winners for February 16 – 22, it’s that while you can bet as much — or as little — as you want, sometimes shooting the works in a big bet, say $30, brings the biggest jackpot of the week.

Food for thought. Here’s a look at the big online winners for February 16 – 22.

 

At BorgataCasino.com:

– On February 16, John from New York City won 2 jackpots totaling $26,400 while playing the Cats slots game.

– On February 17, Chris from Dayton, New Jersey, hit a $13,530 jackpot while playing the Melon Madness slots game from his mobile device.

– On February 18, Elizabeth from Bergenfield, New Jersey, turned a $30 bet into a $39,288 jackpot while playing the Under the Waves slots game.

At BorgataPoker.com:

– azulciel took home first place and $2,927 in the Saturday, February 21 $10K Guaranteed daily tournament, outlasting 151 players .

– RonMexico cashed in three tournaments this week totaling over $7,335 in winnings, which included a second place in the Sunday, February 22 $50K Guaranteed tournament.

Meet Borgata DJ Mel DeBarge

February 26, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

mel-debargeMel DeBarge, who is DJing at MIXX on Sunday, March 15 and a household name on the international party scene, recently sat down with Borgata to answer some questions.

The New York-based DeBarge has emerged as a fixture at exclusive film, music, fashion, philanthropic and private events with clients including Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, GQ, Calvin Klein, Nike, Jennifer Lopez, Missy Elliott, Heidi Klum, Kimora Lee Simmons, NBC and Vogue. He’s also a regular at some of America’s most recognizable nightclubs including Avenue and PH-D at The Dream Downtown (New York City), LIV (Miami) and, of course, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music that allows him to draw on a myriad of influences as he seamlessly merges hip-hop, rock, soul, funk, disco and reggae.

“I make sure my personality comes across in my performances,” he explains. “The personal connection with the audience is not only what I enjoy most about deejaying, it’s also the reason I keep the dance floor full.”

Here’s our interview with Mel DeBarge.

When did you start DJing?

I would say this is my 16th year…

But I guess I’ve always deejayed whether it was changing CDs at my parents’ house or picking songs at block parties.

What kind of equipment do you work with? Love technics 1200s and a Rane mixe but I’ve grown comfortable with newer technology like Pioneers CDJs and various types of MIDI controllers. Things change.

Where do you spin usually? Lately I’ve been blessed to play in a lot of different venues…Marquee (New York), Studio Paris (Chicago), LIV (Miami), 1 OAK (LA) and mur.mur have been some of my favorites.

Who is your favorite DJ/Artist? I’m a fan of DIPLO because he can produce and deejay basically any genre in dance and do a great job.

What are your music predictions? Besides knowing that HIP HOP is making a huge come back I think what’s going on between DANCE AND HIP HOP is the future.  

Favorite Lyrics? I would have to say Michael Jackson “Baby Be Mine”.

Most people you ever played in front of? I would say 10,000 in Singapore for Formula 1.

First feeling of being star struck? Watching Stevie Wonder next to me while I deejayed.

The track I always play to rescue a dance floor: Well this varies but definitely one of them is “This Is How We Do It” Montel Jordan. I have a secret remix of it.

The track that got me out of bed this morning: “Marilyn Monroe” by Pharrell.

The ideal festival track: “Tremor” by Dimitri Vegas, Martin Garrix, Like Mike … Such a heavy track!

The best track by my favorite new artist: Such a tough question for a deejay.. Well at least for me… Let’s just say today’s favorite is Disclosure’s “FRONTIN” remix.

Dessert in a Jar with Chef Thaddeus Dubois February 28

February 25, 2015 by Ryan Ross Leave a Comment

Everyone has their own idea on what’s the most amazing invention in human history. You’ve got your traditionalists who vote for the wheel, your internal combustion engine enthusiasts and a lot of more current people who think it’s the app that allows you to order pizza anywhere in the continental U.S. 24/7.

But have you ever considered the simple Mason jar?

Yes the jar — or roughly a jar that can be tightly sealed with a screw-on top — invented by Philadelphia Tinsmith John Landis Mason in 1858.

From delicious jellies and preserved veggies to some good old down-home moonshine, what don’t we get out of jars? They let us transport food safely, keep food in the pantry for decades and give us a container to hold spare nails after we eat whatever was inside of them to begin with.

And now, we get desserts in a jar. No, not desserts we make out of stuff that comes from jars, but actual individual desserts made up of several ingredients served in jars.

If you haven’t heard of this new trend (well, relatively new as it’s been going on for a couple of years) it’s become all the rage and has been Dessert in a Jarhighlighted on a number of your better morning TV network talk shows.

There’s cake in a jar, pies in a jar, cupcakes in a jar, parfaits in a jar, a bunch of desserty stuff in a jar … it can be pretty much whatever you want.

Now it’s not always easy to identify where a trend like this starts—any number of bakeries and chefs would probably like credit—but it easier to identify where it becomes an art form. And that’s when Borgata Chef Thaddeus Dubois gets his hands on them. Even better, he’s ready to share his recipes with you.

Dubois hosts Dessert in a Jar with Chef Thaddeus Dubois (we really stretched to come up with that title) Saturday, February 28 at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. The event takes place at Studio One in the Borgata Event Center at 1pm.

Dubois, of course, is Executive Pastry Chef at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and oversees pastry and bread production for both the AAA Four-Diamond Borgata and Water Club hotels—including its in-room dining programs, banquets, catering and special events—in addition to the award-winning Borgata Buffet, Borgata Baking Company, Bread + Butter and Metropolitan Café.

He was also Executive Pastry Chef at The White House during the second term of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. So he knows his stuff.

As for desserts in a jar, here’s some reasons you should be in on this trend. They travel well, make great gifts, and they’re easy to eat. And you can impress your friends by making them yourself. They’re kind of an all-in-one treat in the handiest, most useful food container ever invented.

And when you’re done, you can keep all your rubber bands and used thumbtacks in the jar.

Now that’s amazing.

Tickets for Dessert in a Jar with Chef Thaddeus Dubois are $39 and available here.

Sarah McLachlan March 13 at Borgata’s Event Center

February 23, 2015 by Carie York Leave a Comment

For many music fans—especially female fans—hearing a song by an artist like Sarah McLachlan can be like stepping into a time machine. Not a time machine that travels through history. No, it’s much more personal than that.

Who that’s had their heart broken in the 90s and on, or suffered some terrible loss, hasn’t found solace in McLachlan’s ballads? From “In the Arms of an Angel” to “I Will Remember You,” McLachlan’s mezzo-soprano can take you back to the most vulnerable, but also sentimental times in your life.

And at 47, McLachlan is marking a new phase in her life with her Shine On Tour which comes to Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in the Event Center on March 13. The world tour is in support of her 2014 album “Shine On,” her eighth studio album which was written after McLachlan’s father passed away.

Sarah McLachlan“It’s about going through your 40s and all the changes,” McLachlan tells CNN. “We don’t get to that point in our lives unscathed. We’re losing our family members. I lost my brother last November to bowel cancer so there are so many big changes that happen in our 40s, and it’s sort of that tipping point of I’m in the second half of my life.

“To a certain degree I get to choose what this is going to look like,” she says. “How do I want it to look? And it’s sort of a reassessing of everything and I thought, I’m so lucky, I’m so blessed. I have so many amazing things that have happened to me. I have my health, I have my kids’ health, I have great friends and family. I just want to suck the marrow out of every day that I have left because you just don’t know. You don’t know when your time is and I want every day to count.

McLachlan has always made it count. Known for her charity work and for creating the Lilith Fair tour, McLachlan has made her career about so much more than twerking and posing for paparazzi.

But even she acknowledges that sometimes her image can get a little dark, as with her famous, and tragic, ASPCA spots.

“Oh yeah, it’s brutal,” she tells AccessAtlanta.com on a recent tour stop. “I have the same reaction a lot of people do. It made a huge impact on a whole lot of lives. I don’t want to be known as the Debbie Downer or the ASPCA lady, which is why I’ve made an effort to separate myself from it.”

So don’t expect her Borgata appearance to be all gut-wrenching emotion. The tour—which includes informal question and answer sessions with the audience and a spot where some fans win a chance to watch the show on stage from a comfortable couch—has been gaining attention for its relaxed and casual feel. And reviewers to anyone say it presents McLachlan and her amazing voice at her best.

And that’s when she’s marking the times of her life — and ours.

Tickets for Sarah McLachlan on March 13 at the Borgata Event Center are $66, $76 and $86 and available here.

February 20, 2015 by Becky Grimm Leave a Comment
