Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (Atlantic City, NJ) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.08.16 - Page 1138 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

One benefit to Platinum card is a 'complimentary' cruise.

Has anyone used this benefit?

Is it good value? Or do they stick you with all sorts of fees and charges and restrictions that add up to not much of a benefit at all?

I just came back from it about a month ago. It’s a good deal. You can’t avoid the port taxes obv. I actually upgraded to a big suite only paid 1k for the upgrade along with taxes for 3 people.

I have an idea. Anyone think the floor should start implementing a player friendly rule where, if you ask to go on the dinner lost, that they give you a small slip of paper and put down your stack amount with a signature or something you can then bring your entire stack back to the game rather than just table max, especially I'f you chose to come back to same table, or is this against gaming rules? If you can take your whole stack wheb a game breaks why not this?

I'm not sure what time they go off (that seems rather early), but there's always a stretch when the gate is just open. I usually leave between 6 and 7am, and the booth is never staffed at that hour. I'm so used to it that it's a little weird to have to stop and "pay."

Just curious, does the Borgata tire match with Total Rewards? If so, what level does Diamond at TR get you? Any benefits from a tier match?

They have promo periods sometimes but I don’t think they do at the moment.

The website says Diamond or Seven Stars gets Gold. No free stuff unless you're new to Mlife.

Is it just me or have the 2/5 games here been really lackluster for fish. Games seem really bad during the series so far, gonna be here a couple more weeks so hopefully they will get softer after this weekend.

I've been going at night haven't played longer than a 4 hour session, maybe I just got lazy after my 2nd or 3rd transfer. Not saying they are the worst ever, but I've been at tables where 9/10 but in full and are not fish. Games are much better back home for me and I feel they were better last year same series

Yes all included. But you will be limited to the Borgata pool if you stay in Borgata. Water Club residents can go to all pools I believe (except Spa pool, which is for spa users only)

Earlier this summer, Borgata removed the Water club pool restriction - any guest can now use it.

Are you sure? On the website it says the pool is only available to Water Club residents in the morning before the water club pool opens. Afterwards one must pay a daily usage fee.

Can someone fill me in on when (or if) Borgata "slows down" around Christmas-time? I just noticed that I was getting comped on the weekend just before Christmas. Since I almost never get comped on the weekends, I was wondering if there was a reason.

I vaguely remember years ago when the buffet, pool, and/or restaurants would be closed but thought this happened between xmas & NYE.

Anybody have info?

Thanks!

I used to randomly get $25 matchplay a week 3-6 months at a time

My guess is they were trying to hook me to table games for the cost of a few hundred in EV. It didn't work and stopped when MGM took over
