Recap: Tiesto at Borgata’s Festival Park Labor Day Weekend

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa, Nightclubs & Bars

TiestoThere are two things we here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa discovered this Labor Day that really go together.

Namely the music of Tiesto and our outdoor venue Festival Park.

This Labor Day Weekend, Tiesto returned to Festival Bark for a packed daytime concert that rocked the Atlantic City bay-side like never before and created a bit of EDM heaven in the sun, check out the video below to see the party.

Tiesto took a break from a long late summer series of gigs in Vegas to play Borgata’s Festival Park.

And he’s become a bit of a sage (the smart guy, not the spice) about EDM and its beginnings, of which he, of course, was a huge part.

The Band Perry at Borgata Festival Park September 26

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

The Band PerryFestival Park, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s new outdoor venue, has had an amazing summer. And a versatile one as well as we’ve staged rock concerts, techno dance shows, industry parties and some great country music artists at our new party venue.

So there’s really no reason to stop the magic at Festival Park just because the calendar says it’s fall. And that means we’re having another great country show—with help from our friends at Cat Country 103.7—on September 26 with The Band Perry. Also appearing is country star Brett Eldredge.

One of the brightest young bands on the country circuit, Grammy winning The Band Perry—comprised of siblings Kimberly Perry (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Reid Perry (bass guitar, background vocals) and Neil Perry (mandolin, drums, accordion, background vocals)—burst onto the scene in 2010 with their self-titled debut album that contained the No. 1 country hit “If I Die Young.”

They scored two more No. 1 songs on their second album Pioneer with “Better Dig Two” and “DONE.”, plus the Top 10 hits “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely” and “Chainsaw.”

And as always, Borgata’s timing is impeccable as the group just dropped their first single”Live Forever” off their upcoming third album.

If the band’s track record is any indication, the song should be high on the charts by the time they perform at Festival Park.

Rick Springfield at Borgata’s Festival Park September 12

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Rick SpringfieldThere was a time, back in the early ’80s, when Australian singer and actor Rick Springfield seemed to rule the world. Not only was he the singer behind the mega-hit “Jessie’s Girl,” he also played Dr. Noah Drake on the soap “General Hospital,” which back in the ‘80s had a following with young women—not to mention older women—that, looking back, is a little hard to explain. But trust us, it was big.  Very big.

So you would think that when Rick Springfield takes the stage at Borgata’s Festival Park September 12—with guests Loverboy and The Romantics—that it would be a night of nostalgia for the 66-year-old Springfield.

Not exactly. This is the Rick Springfield currently starring in the film “Ricki and the Flash” with Meryl Steep and coming off a notable spin as Dr. Irving Pitlor on “True Detective.” And it’s the same Rick Springfield with an upcoming new album “Rocket Science.”  He’s also the author of the novel “Magnificent Vibration” and his 2010 memoir ”Late, Late at Night” is considered one of the best rock memoirs of all time (though we don’t expect any dramatic readings at Festival Park, just music.)

Could it be that Rick Springfield is trying to put the classic “Jessie’s Girl” and Noah Drake behind and rule the world again?

“Hopefully, some of the new work I’m involved in is changing that perception,” Springfield recently told the Miami Herald. “If not, I’m good with the “Jessie’s Girl”/Noah Drake thing.”

When Springfield takes the stage at Festival Park, it will be a mixture of new and old.

Labor Day Weekend Line-Up at Borgata

POSTED BY: Brian Burke

|CATEGORY: Hotel, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Labor Day WeekendThere was a time when Labor Day Weekend was kind of a bittersweet holiday here in Atlantic City. Sure, as a beach resort we partied hard at the unofficial end of the summer, but it was also the end of the season and things we’re about to quiet down until spring.

Well, that quieting down part is long gone and we at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa go full blast 24/7, 365 days a year. But we still love to party on Labor Day Weekend.

So that’s just sweet, no bitter.

To celebrate the end of summer, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has put together a line-up like no other on the Jersey Shore for this Labor Day Weekend. From casino promotions to concerts and shows to the best nightclub action anywhere, we’ve got the perfect holiday celebration to see out a long summer season.

Check it out:

Casino promotions

We start our Pick the Pros Football Challenge—which runs through the season until the Big Game—on Labor Day Sept. 7. That’s also the date of the $100,000 Cash Sweepstakes with a $25,000 grand prize.

Shows:

Counting Crows at Borgata Festival Park September 5

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Counting CrowsIf you’ve never been to a Counting Crows concert, you might innocently ask something like “What can I expect when the Counting Crows play at Borgata’s Festival Park Labor Day weekend?

Ha, you really have never been to a Counting Crows show. What to expect? Who knows?

Oh, sure, there will be Counting Crows music sung by Adam Duritz, but that’s about all you can say for sure.

A set list? They don’t use one.

Exact performances of their songs to match their recorded versions so you can sing along? Nope, they change them—and usually the lyrics—every show.

You’ll hear the band’s signature hits like “Mr. Jones,” “Round Here” and “Accidentally in Love”.  Well, yeah on that one, but after that, there’s about 80 other Counting Crow songs they choose from.

The bottom line is that the Counting Crows have always been known for their live performances and their improvising on stage. It makes every Counting Crows show unique.

Take the set list. Duritz will work it out right before they take the stage September 5 at Festival Park by sending some text messages.

“It goes to the band, the crew and the opening band, if we’re good friends,” he tells USA Today in a recent interview.

At Festival Park, the opening band is Citizen Cope.

Darius Rucker at Borgata’s Festival Park August 15

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Darius RuckerYou may know Darius Rucker as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish, the mellow rock band of the 90s that put out a string of hits and one of the most successful American rock albums of the decade in “Cracked Rearview Mirror.”

Sixteen times platinum, the album featured four signature hit singles “Hold My Hand,” “Let Her Cry,” “Only Wanna Be with You” and “Time.”

And that would be plenty for any musician’s career. Really, we could stop now and just say that Darius Rucker of Hootie & the Blowfish will be playing Borgata’s Festival Park August 15, so c’mon out and party like its 1994.

Except that’s not the Darius Rucker who’ll be playing Festival Park. Well, it is—same guy—but Darius Rucker is now a bona fide country music star.

And by bona fide, we mean he has four consecutive hit country albums with a string of six No. 1 hits on the country charts — the first No. 1’s for an African American artist since Charlie Pride in 1983. He’s a member of the Grand Ol’ Opry and he has pulled off one of the greatest musical transitions in history.

In retrospect, the transition isn’t so shocking since Ruckus is from South Carolina and formed Hootie & the Blowfish while a student at the University of South Carolina.

Proud to call himself a southerner, his 2014 album “Southern Style” sums up a lot about how Rucker looks at life and music.

Free Festival Friday Concerts at Borgata’s Festival Park

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Festival FridaysAugust is the time of year when a lot of homeowners take a look at their backyards and think, “You know, if we put in a nice patio or deck out here, we could have some great outdoor parties.”

That’s kind of what we here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa were thinking when we put in our new outdoor concert venue Festival Park in time for summer 2015.  Ok, it was probably more complicated than that and involved architects and technicians and plumbers and stuff, but that was basically the idea.

What we do know, is that the party hasn’t stopped since we opened the place in Borgata’s beautiful bay-side backyard. In fact, we’re still coming up with party ideas for Festival Park including Festival Fridays.

Basically, every Friday from now through Labor Day weekend we are having a big old free outdoor party presented by our friends at 100.7 WZXL radio, the best rock radio station in the Atlantic City area.

There are two words that best describe the line-up for Festival Fridays. Free—‘cause these are free parties—and tribute, because we’re talking about a line-up of great rock tribute bands.

We can say that now that we launched Festival Fridays on July 31 with Philbilly, a fantastic contemporary country music band. So basically we started with a hootenanny.

But the rest of the schedule is devoted to tribute bands for some of the greatest classic rock bands ever.

Meghan Trainor Rescheduled at Borgata Festival Park for September 13

POSTED BY: Carie York

|CATEGORY: Entertainment, Hotel, Casino & Spa

Meghan TrainorIn American pop culture, few things are as much fun to watch as when a singer explodes on the music scene and becomes the hot star of the moment.

A case in point is Meghan Trainor. Ever since Trainor’s “All About the Bass” rocketed to No. 1 on the charts last year, everything Trainor does, says and sings about gets tweeted, blogged and discussed.

So when doctors advised the “Dear Future Husband” singer that she had to rest her voice due to a vocal cord hemorrhage and she began cancelling shows on her new tour—including her July 3 scheduled appearance at Borgata Festival Park—a lot of concern was expressed in cyberspace.

And the ton of “get well soon” messages that flooded Twitter and Instagram may have helped as the 21-year-old singer has gone on Instagram to say she’s recovering.

“But there is good news! I’m feeling much better,” Trainor wrote after announcing a couple more cancellations.

“Thank you Dr. Kessler for seeing me immediately and being so helpful and thank you guys for all the edits/get well posts you made. You made me feel a lot better about this crappy situation. I love you all so much.”

After cancelling her July 4th weekend shows, Trainor said “Right now the doctors want me on complete vocal rest until they are healed. I have never missed a tour date before so this is killing me.”

Borgata’s Fourth of July Weekend Line-up

POSTED BY: Brian Burke

|CATEGORY: Hotel, Hotel, Casino & Spa

FireworksWe have to admit that here at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, we get a little crazy about the Fourth of July.

It is the perfect summer holiday and when you’re in Atlantic City at the Jersey shore, well, that makes it the perfect holiday period. And when Fourth of July happens on the weekend—it’s a Saturday this year—and considering that every summer weekend is a party at Borgata … well, that’s just more perfect.

How can something be more perfect? Well, check out this lineup for Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s Fourth of July celebration this year.

We start with Meghan Trainor at Festival Park on July 3, offer up the best view for the traditional 4th of July Marina Fireworks Show (again from Festival Park) on July 4 and finish it off with … well, a bunch of stuff from a full entertainment schedule at Borgata’s Nightclubs to great promotions in our casino.

Of course, fireworks are the first thing people think of for the 4th, and our new outdoor venue at Festival Park is the perfect place to view this year’s show.

Atlantic City is putting on two shows this year, with a Boardwalk show July 3 and a marina show July 4.

These unique and brilliant fireworks shows are being created by one of the country’s largest fireworks companies, Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, the presenter of pyrotechnic displays and shows around the world including the Macy’s 4th of July Spectacular in New York City.
