We all wondered what happened to you. I guess everyone wanted to see that infamous mowhawk.

Someone mentioned that they had seen someone that fit your description on the casino floor but we dismissed it as we figured if it were you, you would have been at the meeting.

Terry Shaffer and his wife made it and found the Skylight Room [not ballroom] without any problem.
It was/is in the same corridor as the buffet and adjacent to the coffee shop. Hopefully there will be a next time.

Although not a poker player myself, The Taj has the reputation of having the best room in A/C
I suppose the verdict is still out on Borgata but from what people have described it will run a close second.

IMHO The table games to slots ratio will probably change even further leaning towards slots. I suppose it will ultimately depend on how Borgata markets their property.
Every casino in A/C favors slots.
While roaming around the Sands, you might have noticed that their table games have become virtually non- existant. If i'm correct, they have to keep a minimum as mandated by the CCC or there might have been even less.
This has hurt them severly and though slots are more profitable, they have lost a lot of their player base.
It is my understanding that they are in the process of putting some tables back in.

As far as the location of the Borgata, once again in my opinion it should proove interesting when the fascination of a new property wears off and the summer crowds are gone will they retain their player base?
Atlantic City has always suffered from 2 problems, weather and no real expansion room.
I think these have been the largest factors that have prevented A/C from becoming more of a LV than it is.

I wanted to also mention though I saw a sign in the Borgata that directed people towards a bus ramp. It is my understanding that at least at present they do not have facilities for day bus trippers. The majority of visitors come by bus stay only a few hours and spend small amounts of money. We all know that pennies make dollars but again will the Borgata survive the winters without this crowd?

You might have noted that Borgata is built on a land fill... Someone suggested an advertising slogan... Borgata... Its not a dump anymore
The problem I see that might hurt the Borgata even more is its isolation from every other casino. If you aren't going to the Borgata, to use an old phrase, you can't get there from here.
The Borgata sits by itself removed from the Boardwalk, not really in the Marina and not connected to any other property sitting in isolation on a land fill.
They may have come to town with a LV type casino and an LV mentality but might have to bend to the way of A/C by bombarding their customer base with both offers and gift to retain their player base. It is a nice property, the people are nice but what the future holds remains to be seen.
