Extreme disappointment mainly in food situation.
Amphora lounge moved to buffet area.
It's basically become a diner with bad food. It used to be a highlight of my trip..no more.

Hang in there. We all can't wait to get back downstairs again. The employee's and us guest. The Governor did lift some of the restrictions on buffets. But I didn't see the " fine print of what is permitted. I was down last weekend. I thought the food was OK, except for the prime rib . It looked like they overcooked it. If you like your prime rib well down you're ok then.
IMO, I'm just guessing ( hoping ) that we will be downstairs by July 4th weekend.

I am envisioning the vast funds played to allow Amphora entry. It should be the trip highlight!

How about hitting a royal instead and making THAT the trip highlight instead of Amphora?
Have you ever been to Las Vegas FAA?

There are other ways to get into the lounge. Last month anyone could get in for $30 during the week.

Me too. I had to saw the beef.
Options so limited, room service came in a box. I'm not a foodie but come on!

If they can't give me a royal, give me good amenities and higher free play. Still getting same hundred dollars. Thinking of trying Ocean.

That offer is only temporary. During the virus attendance is down during the week. So they are offering that because the buffet is closed. When they move the Amphora lounge back down stairs I'll be surprised they will still do that.

Does any Las Vegas casino offer a players lounge like Atlantic City does ?
Ocean casino has a players lounge. BUT ! It's not that nice as the Borgata's Amphora Lounge.
