Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (Atlantic City, NJ) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.08.16 - Page 698 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Well I been eating at the amphora lounge, so that definitely has upped my standards. If you're used to crappy buffets then the borgata one seems good by comparison.

Fwiw, Borgata's buffet is the best in town by a long shot. But the rest of town has really REALLY crappy buffets.

I have to say the breakfast buffet at B is good though. As much bacon as you want, and fresh eggs (premade eggs are disgusting, but there's a station for fresh eggs outta their shells). But I'd rather just go to bread n butter for that.

Were is this? I'm heading down for a stay this sat for first time (staying at the B) I would like to have a descent meal sat. night with the mrs. Thanks for the assistance in advance.

I'm looking forward to having the extra hour of poker!!

I'm a massive whiner when it comes to food. If its good enough for me then 99% of people won't complain.

Sorry, I didn't get that far down before I wrote my question. I don't have a black card yet but am working twards it.

So I guess I should set reservations at one of the restraunts at the B then?

If you want to eat at somewhere like bobby flays on Saturday night I recommending calling NOW for your reservation.

If you try getting reservations when you're checking in on Saturday I'll tell you right now you'll be disappointed.

Or did you mean that he should call immediately (now)?

Um, you're joking right? Because your post sounds kinda serious...

Pretty sure there's only 1 reasonable way to interpret my post

The comps sometimes disappear and reappear on the Borgata card website. They should have been added already though. See the back podium next time you're there if it's not resolved by then.

I'm not sure if this is the result of very high culinary standards or an isolated experience, but I have to adamantly disagree with both of you here

I'm glad you had a great experience

I would like to echo this sentiment

Every time I play a mixed game and they put us on the fringe of the high limit area by the back podium, I feel like I need a parka b/c of the close proximity to the AC vent

More than once, a player has decided to no longer play in the game, b/c he was too cold

I am hoping this issue can be resolved in the immediate future

Can any CET diamond member get a Black card or is it new players only? (I already have a Borgata red card)

And how long is the black card valid? Is it based on calendar year so it's better to wait until January for the upgrade?

TIA

The upgrade is valid for 1 year from the day you upgrade. You'll have 12 months to earn the 1000 comp dollars to keep the status.
