“The Empire Strips Back” Comes to Borgata

by Leave a Comment

After a sold-out, critically acclaimed tour of the United States, The Empire Strips Back team returns in 2019 for it’s largest run of shows ever in the States, including a stop in Atlantic City at Borgata!  The sexy Stormtroopers will decent upon The Music Box on May 3 starting at 9PM!

Be prepared for a dangerously seductive Boba Fett, some tantalising Twi’leks, a delightfully luke-warm Taun Taun, a lady-like Skywalker, the Droids you are looking for, and much, much more! This Star Wars burlesque parody started as a one-off event in Australia  in 2011. It was then turned into a full show in 2014 and has become a world-wide sensation.

You can make your Borgata The Empire Strips Back experience out of this world with a special “Meet & Greet” Package, which includes one premium reserved ticket located in the first 10 rows, an exclusive after show meet & greet with cast members, a Personal photograph with the cast, a specially designed tour poster autographed by the cast, a Collectible challenge coin, an official meet & greet laminate, and a commemorative ticket.

Don’t miss out on this wildly sexy parody show!  Tickets are available here.

Human Rights Campaign Names MGM Resorts International One of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality”

by Leave a Comment

MGM Resorts Internationalis pleased to announce that, for the 8th consecutive year, Human Rights Campaign has named us one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”  Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is proud to be a MGM Resorts luxury destination, and has always valued diversity and inclusion in all forms.  MGM Resorts International received a perfect score of 100 on the 2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s premier benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality, administered by the HRC. MGM Resorts joins the ranks of over 560 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is the educational arm of America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community.

The 2019 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. MGM Resorts’ efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

MGM Resorts has a long-standing record of support of the LGBTQ community, as a National Corporate Partner of HRC and otherwise. For example, in 2011, MGM Resorts expanded its supplier and construction diversity programs to include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ)-owned firms. Years before same-sex marriage was legalized, same-sex commitment ceremonies were performed at chapels at MGM Resorts’ properties, which continue to develop specialized marriage ceremony offerings and outreach to same-sex couples.
