The Borgata, the new Boyd/MGM Mirage casino in Atlantic City, is set to open doors July 3. The casino has promised to shake up the image of Atlantic City by providing a "fun, upscale, energetic, international and sensual" environment.
Certainly doesn't sound like any of the casinos presently in Atlantic City, that's for sure! Whether they come through on their promise remains to be seen, but two things are for sure: a ton of money was spent on this place, and MGM Mirage knows how to run a good casino.
The $1 billion casino, under construction for nearly three years, will be the first new one in Atlantic City in 13 years, since Trump Taj Mahal began taking bets in 1990.
When I read the quote above, I thought there had to be a mistake. I distinctly recall being in the Trump World's Fair Casino the day it opened, and I remember that being sometime around mid-1996, well after the Taj had opened.
In actuality, the World's Fair actually had been around (under different names) for almost 20 years by that point. There is a good article on the history of the Trump World's Fair Casino (aka Playboy Casino, aka Atlantis Casino, aka Trump Regency) here.
In any case, it would be good to see a little more of an upscale festive destination in A.C. The place is just so darn depressing.
I just got a brochure in the mail from the Borgata, and the place really resembles a Las Vegas casino. It has a nice spa, multiple gourmet restaurants, shows, and a huge gaming floor. Very unlike the ghetto casinos that AC has. I think that this place definitely has promise.
It is a powerful natural herbal male enlargement formula that increases penis length and girth, sexual desire, sexual health and helps to achieve stronger erections.
