Has anyone tried this?

I have done this a few times and it works. But then again I know all the people who work there, so they don't mind doing it for me.

At WC there's a button for it on the touch screen phone. At Borgata, I imagine you can call the front desk and tell them you don't want any calls, although it's rare to get a housekeeping call at Borgata.

I agree its rare and more likely that some drunk douche has stolen your sign even though you jammed it between the door, which has happened to me more than a couple times.

And this is why Borgata is the nuts.

Also, what's the policy on bringing a party of 4 downstairs to Amphora? Is it restricted to only 1 guest?

Room was fairly dead yesterday which isn't shocking cause it's a Tuesday. They also had a huge chunk of it blocked off cause they were replacing the carpet it looked like? Don't know. I have to look into these buffet comps and a later check out tips that everyone is talking about. I've stayed at the B 20+ times this year and still always leave at 11 AM like a nit. Oh and +1 to the Borgata maids hounding your door while the WC ones will not go near it. Only time I ever got a housekeeping call was at the WC though.

Is that what happened? They made me take that room the next day! Something about no other comped rooms available.

If there's enough of us we could form a new breakfast club

And I'm definitely unplugging all three of the phones tonight, so sorry if you guys can't get any rooms tomorrow.

wow - great to know about checking out after 11 being okay. when you mention asking for a late checkout, does that just mean they let you stay a little longer or do you have to pay more?

also... buffet comps in the poker room???

I've never gotten an (official) 1pm checkout. But I haven't asked in a long time ever since I realized there's no need to.

I never have gotten a 1 pm checkout myself on a comped room. I have asked for a late checkout and best I got was noon on a weekday. Also I love the WC since they just call your room instead of knocking on the door every 30 minutes in the morning.

Anyone ever partake in the 777 bonus slot dollar promo they running this weekend? I was thinking about coming down and playing some 1/2 and see if I luck out at the promo.
