Atlantic City Hotels

The Borgata, without a doubt, is Atlantic City’s finest Casino/Hotel-Resorts. It’s done to Atlantic City what the Mirage did to Las Vegas in the 80’s - revived it from being more or less a gambling town to the status of an international destination for vacationers and gaming enthusiasts alike. Borgata means “a little village” in Italian. Borgata has quickly risen to its status as the backbone of the Atlantic City casino industry. Borgata aimed to bring the luxury “packaged entertainment” concept from Las Vegas to Atlantic City and boy, did they do a good job at it!

Borgata hotel and spa opened its doors to the public on the second day of the month of July in the year 2003. That’s not very long ago, you’re right, but quite a bit has happened at Atlantic City in these five-odd years. This world class hotel is co-owned by Boyd gaming and MGM Mirage - another first of its kind, a collaboration rare in the Gaming or any other industry for that matter. The project of Borgata hotel and spa was also considered to be a Tunnel project in the year 1999 because Steve Wynn (yep, the guy that’s credited with making Las Vegas what it is today, and the owner of the hugely successful Wynn and Encore Resort in Las Vegas) wanted to connect the Atlantic City expressway of around 4 kilometers directly to the resort. This tunnel would bring in direct traffic to the Marina Bay where the Borgata is located. This tunnel never saw daylight though, plagued by controversies and lawsuites. Donald Trump sued Wynn suggesting that Wynn was using the tunnel as a driveway to his casino. Despite those setbacks, Borgata opened amidst great hope of a new era of success at Atlantic City.
