Although In that case even if it was one system she could just not use her card in the poker room.

Another small benefit of otherwise lousy comps method.
I think casino comps expire after 6 months- poker comps don’t expire.
We use my wife’s casino comps to pay for meals & room fees.

Had forgotten to “transfer” my poker comps for over a year& was actually
10 months since last trip to borg. 18 months of poker comps. Nothing lost

I always figured they responded to the demand for business, as well as what they could supply (food/staff). Most of the time we're annoyed at the Tues-Thurs schedules, I thought everyplace was open on Fridays.

Holiday schedules can be different, but you can always check online or the app to see which places are open. Beware that the BetMGM sportsbook/bar/restaurant can be open as a sportsbook and bar, without serving food at times.

Hey, I'm looking to work with a Borgata reg to get some sports bets in on the kiosks for my group. Ideally someone who's there most nights. DM me if interested.

I’m probably making a trip later this month. Haven’t been since they re-did their food court. What’s the best / most reliably good option down there? I’m guessing a cheesesteak should be consistently good but wtf do I know?

I like any type of food, so if Mexican is best then yeah I’ll get that.

Depends on which sort of bar you mean. Noodles of the World has counter seating along the kitchen. It doesn't have the sort of bar where you could go just for a drink.

Cheesesteaks are decent, not enough meat to bread ratio IMO.

My go to is a flatbread pizza from the Italian place or teriyaki chicken w/rice from the Chinese spot. Bread and butter has some good options as well.

Quick Question on the Winter Poker Open. If you registered online through BetMGM Poker, is it as simple as walk up to a separate line to collect your seat assignment day of? I just want to make sure I have avoided the long lines for registration by registering online.

Haven't eaten in the food court in many years, I might have to try out the new options they have now during the upcoming series. I always just go to Bread and Butter for a quick meal.

I also usually eat at the bar at American Bar and Grill once a trip. They have impressed me thus far with service and can get in and out in under an hour.

I like the wine bar in the food court the best. Especially the Italian Stallion sandwich. The pizza is also decent and I personally suggest getting chicken at the cheesesteak place if you go there.

Wine Bar may be the best kept secret down there. Great food at reasonable prices and excellent staff.

But, their poker Director just said on twitter today for online regs to get their ticket at "VIP reg desk 2nd floor CCC". It's the small ballroom up the escalators in that hallway from the poker room to bread and butter.

Also, looks like stacks are in play at start time for early registering in person only, but not for online registering per Kellie.

As per The Borgata Poker Boss Lady:
“ We totally lost access to our Borgata Blog during covid unfortunately. BetMGM Poker secured http://Poker.org to cover our event and hoping that coverage starts soon!……. “

In line for the 10am Seniors event. Just moved starting time back to 10:30am. Definitely more than 100 people in 2 different lines. This is going to smash the guarantee.

Definitely not fancy. NOW has been at Borgata forever. Always solid in my experience.
