Blues Traveler sure has come a long way since forming as a high school garage band in Princeton, New Jersey.  The American rock group known for their blues rock, psychedelic rock, folk rock, soul, and Southern rock styles is celebrating their 30th anniversary and Borgata guests are part of the celebration.  Blues Traveler will be headed to The Music Box for one night only, February 24 at 9PM, with their 30th Anniversary Tour.

Best known for their singles “Run Around” and “Hook,” Blues Traveler fans are accustomed to the group’s rocking improvisational live shows.  The current roster of the popular band includes singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson.

Tickets to the Borgata concert start at $39 and can be purchased online or at The Box Office.

Celebrate the Big Game at Borgata With Signature Cocktails

by Leave a Comment

Whether you’re a die-hard super-fan, or just enjoy trying new and fun libations, Borgata has the perfect offerings to quench any football fan’s thirst leading up to the big game next weekend. Do you bleed Philly green? Do you think Tom is nothing but terrific? In anticipation of Philadelphia taking on New England Borgata will be offering specialty cocktails at Long Bar, Gypsy Bar, and B Bar to celebrate this exciting title-bout. See the list of specialty drinks below:

Philadelphia

The Underdog

Once the favorite to represent their conference in the big game; Philly’s beloved team turned instant underdogs when a rash of injuries caused experts to bet against this scrappy squad. After defeating last year’s champs (Atlanta) and demolishing the odds-on favorites from Minnesota, this David and Goliath story has one more chapter to go with the biggest hurtle still looming. So when you’re down for the count and everyone’s written you off, grab yourself this high-energy cocktail (along with a German Shepard dog mask) that is sure to give any football fan the boost they need to cheer their team to their first ever world title!

  • ½ oz Blue Curacao
  • (1) 8.5 oz Red Bull
  • Garnish: Maraschino cherry
  • Glass: Pint
  • Combine ingredients in a pint glass with ice. Stir and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

 

The St. Nick

Just when it looked like all was lost in the City of Brotherly Love after the team’s prized quarterback was out for the season, good ole’ St. Nick took the reins and led his squad all the way to the championship. Much like the unflappable backup Philly QB, this drink always delivers in the clutch.

  • 1⁄4 oz simple syrup
  • 8 mint leaves
  • 2 oz Kentucky Bourbon
  • Garnish: Mint leaves and / or bitters
  • Glass: Julep or Rocks.
  • Lightly muddle mint and syrup. Add bourbon and pack tightly with crushed ice. Stir until the cup is frosted on the outside. Top with more crushed ice and garnish with a few drops of bitters and a mint sprig (optional).

 

New England 

The Dynasty

A franchise that has demonstrated the success New England has seen over the past two decades deserves a signature cocktail. The Dynasty is derived from one of Gypsy Bar’s classic margaritas; sure to quench the thirst of even the most passionate New England fan.

  • ¼ glass Tequila Blanco
  • 1 oz Triple Sec
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice
  • Garnish: Margarita salt (optional) & lime
  • Glass: Margarita / Martini / Rocks
  • Combine all ingredients. Rim glass with lime juice using a lime wedge, dip in margarita salt, garnish with lime and enjoy.

 

*Pro tip: if you’re at Gypsy Bar, order with a splash of pomegranate juice in a blue margarita glass to show off your true Pats’ pride.

The G.O.A.T.

There may never be as legendary a quarterback-coach combo as Tom and Bill. The argument can be made that this duo will go down in history as the “greatest of all time.” As the tandem head into their record-shattering eighth championship together you can sample a modern take on the classic rum & coke paring…with a twist befitting the reigning champs penchant for thrilling conclusions.

  • 3 oz spiced rum
  • 3 oz cola
  • 1 can pineapple juice concentrate
  • 1 can berry punch
  • Garnish: Orange or Maraschino cherry (or both)
  • Glass: Collins
  • Add spiced rum and cola to a Collins glass. In a separate container, mix all of the pineapple concentrate and the berry punch together. Pour into the Collins glass until full, stir, and serve.

There are online casino games like slots and table games. And then there are ridiculously innovative games that reinvent the wheel. Or in this case, the boulder. Medieval Money Dragon’s Loot at BorgataCasino.com is the latter, trading spinning reels for a unique catapult system.

Here’s the deal. A mischievous, fire-breathing dragon has claimed Castle Cash-A-Lot as his own and made himself at home. Your job is to toss boulders at the castle and push him out. As you do, you’ll reveal treasure or get to play a bonus round that could lead to even bigger payouts.

If you’re looking for a big bankroll so that you can fire even more of those boulders, make a deposit of at least $100 on Wednesdays in January. When you do, you’ll qualify to earn 20% cashback on your net losses, up to $100.

You need to opt in to the Cashback Wednesday promotion first, so don’t miss out.

February 14 isn’t too far away.  Instead of a boring box of drug store chocolates or a stuffed teddy bear, why not get your loved one something they’ll really appreciate (besides your care and affection, of course): a gift from Borgata.  Whether your significant other is a hardcore foodie or looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life, Borgata has something for everyone, under one roof.  Here’s five full proof gift ideas for your Valentine this year.

valentines day at borgata

An Abhyanga Massage at Immersion Spa: Abhyanga massage differs from many Western massage techniques in that it is not deep and it liberally covers the client in oil to fully nourish and moisturize the body. Balance your mind, completely hydrate your body, and totally lift your soul through the use of smooth, gentle, rhythmic yet energizing techniques that were discovered thousands of years ago. This powerful recharger and rejuvenator of mind and body is a must for any spa Valentine’s Day gift.

Tickets to Mary J. Blige: The one and only Queen of Hip-Hop and R&B will be playing Borgata’s Event Center for two special Valentine’s weekend shows on February 16 and 17, both at 8PM.  Experience the music and soulful sounds of Mary J. live and in person after a great dinner at one of Borgata’s signature restaurants.  It’ll be a gift that will cause “no more drama” in your love life this February!

Dinner at Angeline by Michael Symon: Nothing is more romantic than home cooked Italian food, made with a lot of heart and soul.  That’s exactly what you and your loved one will find at Angeline by Michael Symon, Borgata’s newest fine dining restaurant.  Angeline is Iron Chef and James Beard Award winning chef Michael Symon’s ode to classic Italian food—simple, bold, fresh and served with prideful attention to detail. The Chew co-host delivers with red-sauce style favorites honed from family recipes.  Now that’s amore!

The OUT at Borgata LGBTQ Package: Designed with Borgata’s LGBTQ guests in mind, this package offers an unforgettable getaway to Atlantic City’s friendliest gay resort, recipient of a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s 2016, 2017, and 2018 Corporate Equality Index. Experience a one-night stay in a beautifully-appointed Fiore Suite and two day passes to enjoy Spa Toccare‘s men’s and women’s lounges. Tempt your taste buds with $50 towards any Borgata signature restaurant or in-room dining plus two complimentary cocktails at B Bar.

For the Indecisive Lover: Can’t figure out what would make the best gift? Get them a Borgata Gift Card! It’s the perfect way for your loved one to experience Borgata the way they want to, and is redeemable at any of the property’s retail stores, spas, and restaurants, or for hotel stays and entertainment.
