Has anyone ever been there, can you recommend any good restaurants?? Was the hotel nice. I've never been to a casino (not really my style), but we're going for a concert, and its around our anniversary-- so we decided to stay the weekend.
Dina,
I haven't been there, yet. But, we head to AC a lot for just a mini-get away, and I've only heard great things about it. I understand that it's pricey and the way it's been described to me, it's trying to be hip and trendy like the Palms in Vegas.
I can't tell you which restaurants to try there, but I have eaten at most places in both Caesars and Ballys - and have enjoyed all! There's also a Rainforest Cafe in Trump (the one next to Caesars). Let me know if you have any questions about those other places.
The Borgata is very nice, and only a little pricier than some of the boardwalk casinos. They have a few restaurants in there that are very good. We're going to see JOURNEY there on Labor Day weekend and the standard room is actually cheaper than a standard room at Caesar's that weekend.... not that $400 for a room is cheap, but Caesar's is asking $425....
OOh I love Journey!!! That should be a great concert! Have a great time!! Is Steve Perry back with them?
We're going to see Rob Thomas. I don't usually travel so far for concerts, but I never miss Rob or Matchbox Twenty-- except for the day I gave birth to Danny on the morning of a matchbox twenty concert-- I had to miss that one hehehe!!! I'm Robsessed!!! This will be the 4th time I've seen him this year alone (including Live 8)-- my husband is a Saint!!
Thanks Rob and Tanya!! I'm really excited about the Borgata. Joe saw pictures and says it reminds him of Vegas a bit- I've never been to Vegas or Atlantic City, so I'm looking forward to playing slot machines for the first time!!

No, but a look-and-sound alike, Steve Augeri, has been touring with them for the past 7 years. I've seen both Steves in concert, and Augeri is a very good replacement.
Hope you enjoy your show! I saw Rob Thomas at Live8 (weren't you there too?) and enjoyed his set.
AC is about 1/2 an hour from us, so we go enough. But we haven't stayed at the Borgata or many of the hotels for that matter. But, what I will say is that there is a lot of great things being said for the restaurants in The Quarter which is inside the Tropicana http://www.tropicana.net/dining/index.htm
I have heard great things about Carmine's, PF Chang's and Cuba Libre. I don't have any first hand experience and hear that you need ressies well ahead of time. But they are supposedly amazing.
Oh! and I should have said that you can grab a cab outside any hotel/casino lobby to the other casino's relatively cheaply. If you aren't comfortable driving.
I love the Borgata! You feel more like you are in Vegas than AC. We love their buffet, but my favorite thing is the Dale Chihuly glass that is all over! It is worth a trip just to see his glass! Here is a link to his website, in case you don't know about him. He has installations of glass all over the world www.chihuly.com

I love the Trop and the new Quarter is great. I have eaten at Carmines, The Palm and Ri-Ra. They are all fantastic.
As a matter of fact I will be there 8/29-8/31

I'll have to look into The Quarter-- that sounds really cool. We have PF Chang's near us-- its one of our absolute favorites!!!!

I love Rob Thomas? How much are the tickets?
[/ QUOTE ]
It came to $192.50 for 2 tix, but that's only for Borgata, most shows are closer to $100 a pair. Right now the tickets have only been released to the Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas Fanclub-- and you can only buy them in sets of two. But, the fanclub seats have sold out for Borgata, though most others are still available (you can join the fanclub and buy tickets at the same time, pm me if you are interested, I can look up the website info for you). But, they aren't on sale yet to the General Public. There is an internet presale this morning at 10am on Ticketmaster for alot of shows. I'm trying this morning for Philadelphia show which haven't been released to fanclub yet. He's doing a national tour-- you'll need a code to buy tickets during the interent presale on Ticketmaster.com (the code is ROBVH1).
Thanks Dina! That is pretty expensive, I don't think I can afford anymore concerts this year! I was looking for that VH1 code but didn't find it, I'll have to see if I can find the money, thanks again!!
