by Leave a Comment

You’ve probably heard of Moet & Chandon champagne makers.

They were established in 1743 in Champagne France and are the label behind Dom Perignon, the most famous champagne in the world.

And now they’re teaming up with Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

Champagne Sunday BrunchThis Sunday, June 28, Borgata Nightlife hosts an industry Champagne Sunday Brunch Party at 2pm at our new Festival Park sponsored by Moet & Chandon.

We think our Festival Park is pretty special. So some on out, relax and enjoy.

Table reservations for the Moet & Chandon Champagne Sundays Brunch are available by calling 609.317.7249.

Mania DJ Tour at Borgata’s Festival Park July 5

by 1 Comment

Here are some quick definitions for you:

Mania – excessive enthusiasm.

Electronic – Runs on electricity, especially noticeable in dance beats employed by EDM DJs.

Festival – A period of celebration often organized around a series of concerts, plays, movies—and sometimes a great line-up of DJs—held  in the same place.

Circus – A collection of diverse and energetic performances in one show.

ManiaMania Electronic Festival Circus – the July 5 show at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s new Festival Park outdoor concert venue features music by The Chainsmokers, DJ Ikon, Dallas K, Grand Theft and DSK CHK.

Or in other words, a big ol’ outdoor EDM party at Borgata on the July 4th weekend.

It’s not every day that you see a concert so filled with energy and great DJs that we’re confident enough to call it a mania, a festival and a circus all in one.

But consider this:

The Chainsmokers are an American, New York City-based, disc jockey/producer/songwriter duo consisting of members Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. The duo rose to fame with their 2014 hit “#Selfie”.

DJ Ikon is a DJ, promoter, freelance journalist, and radio mixshow host from Hawaii who has become a rapidly rising figure in the domestic breaks and electro community.

DallasK is quickly becoming one of the most talked about young producer/DJ’s of today. Hailing from Orlando he constantly excites crowds all around the country with his live sets that draw influence from all genres of dance music.

Grand Theft is a producer/Songwriter/DJ/VJ based out of Montreal, Canada. Establishing a custom club sound by playing largely his own originals, remixes and video edits, GT has slayed clubs worldwide and is respected as one of the best live DJs Canada has to offer.

DSK CHK continues to bring quality music production along with his one of a kind “Performance DJ” style. Donning the symbolic Guy Fawkes mask, DSK CHK represents the idea that “Identity should remain irrelevant, and only the music and the experience should be the focus.”

That’s a festival line-up. That’s a line-up that causes a mania. That’s a show worthy of the name circus.

And it’s all EDM.

Ok, maybe we’re harping on the name a little, but really, it’s about Borgata’s longstanding tradition of bringing the world’s great DJs to Borgata Nightlife. Well, July 5th Borgata goes a little crazy and brings in a massive show.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll change Festivals Park’s name to Mania Electronic Festival Circus Park.

Well, at least for one night.

Tickets to Mania are $35 and available here.

Borgata Celebrates National Martini Day

by Leave a Comment

Well folks, it’s National Martini Day again (June 19).

We know, it sneaks up on you doesn’t it? You probably haven’t even finished your National Martini Day shopping or hung the National Martini Day wreath on the door yet.

Just kidding. The only observance anyone has to make for National Martini Day is perhaps, to enjoy one. We here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa love martinis and we’re offering up some special blends for National Martini Day.

But before we get to that, here’s some nice martini quotes to get you in the mood (Actually, they’re quotes about martinis as martinis don’t talk. Well, if they do, you’ve probably had enough.)

 

“Martinis are the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet.”  H.L. Mencken

“Happiness is a dry martini and a good woman … or a bad woman.”  George Burns

“A man must defend his home, his wife, his children, and his martini.”  Jackie Gleason

“Shaken, not stirred.”  James Bond

“Happiness is…finding two olives in your martini when you’re hungry.”  Johnny Carson

“He knows just how I like my martini – full of alcohol.”  Homer Simpson

”I had never tasted anything so cool and clean.  They made me feel civilized.”  Ernest Hemingway novel Farewell to Arms.

 

Wise words in deed for a drink that dates back to the late 19th century. In its purest from, the martini is gin and dry vermouth, but ever since James Bond started ordering vodka martinis, well, they’ve become pretty popular in the U.S. as well. In fact, these days, pretty much anything goes with the martini as you’ll find throughout Borgata’s bars and nightclubs.

For National Martini Day, Borgata is offering up these special concoctions

Old Homestead MartiniOld Homestead Steak House 

Dragon Ball Martini

Bacardi Dragon Berry Rum
Malibu Rum
Pineapple Juice
Orange Juice
Cranberry Juice

 

 

 

FornellettoFornelletto Martini

Garden State

1.5 oz Bombay Gin
.5 oz Aloe Vera Liquor
.5 oz Capano Bianco white vermouth
Splash of Lemon Juice
Parsley

Mix all ingredients, shake vigorously, strain into martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist

 

 

 

Izakaya MartiniIzakaya

Muddled cucumber

1.5 oz. gin
2 oz. sake
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
3/4 oz. simple syrup
Shake well and serve

 

We think H.L Mencken would be pleased. Happy National Martini Day from Borgata.
