Re: Borgata black card upgrade
Glad to help with the information. I used to be Diamond several years ago. But now I can't afford 2 casino upgraded card status. The Diamond club at Caesar's is very nice also.How is the Seven Stars lounge at Caesar's ? That used to be the Bacchanal Restaurant .
this is the first i have ever heard of a 7* lounge. i have been a low level diamond member for years and that is all i will ever be. used to go to AC every month on the shuttle to the TAJ. it was the highlight of my month and i really miss it. then came the recession, things changed in AC, and everyone knows the story. so, now, i go once a quarter, because they have a one nite trip and i can limit my losses because i am limiting my exposure. never was a winner there, but the losses were quite reasonable and i felt i got a good value for the money loss. i keep hoping things will return to the past. since the first time i went to borgata, i thought it was the closest type property to vegas i had been in. but, the machines do not like me there either. anytime i mention this subject, i get asked why i go back. only have one driveable casino (4 hours), and geting on a shuttle flight is tempting and i like the chnge of pace going to AC. did you experience any change in VP results over the past few years, or have things been the same?

did you experience any change in VP results over the past few years, or have things been the same? Yes, In 2013 I had a great year on VP. Then they took the 3 machines I was playing off the floor. The VP ( Vice President ) of Slot / Poker machine told me that they just moved them. I look at the serial numbers on the machine. They don't match. So far this year I had 1 royal jackpot ..I like the Borgata because I like the Amphora Lounge, the comp tickets for the comedy club. Occasionally I get comp tickets for a show.

they also have a wonderful 'living room' area for non gamblers/guests to be part of the entire scene, while being able to do some work/talk on the phone. this is my wife's favorite spot. best of luck!

I finally made it to Borgata Sun. So lovely all around, and made $39. Living Room is like a five star hotel lobby. Very strict security. I would not want to leave that oasis, not even to gamble!

it may exist elsewhere, but i have never been in another casino that had such a room. if you have a non gambling spouse/partner, they can still be part of the action and have a comfortable place to do other things. better than being stuck in hotel room.

Amazing hit, JDW. $2.50 a spin bets take a toll, but a nice $2000 jackpot erases all doubts. I was there Sunday, winning a modest $24 in BB. I decided to burn $5 on the floor on my way out. Midway through the flame out, I drew the three necessary clubs for the Royal Flush. Unfortunately, I only bet a single quarter, so I had to content myself with a $62.50 win. Pure agony!

nice hit jim deuces......will you be there on Labor day weekend>??? I will be in AC on Sunday Sept 6 thru Sept 9.......I'd really like to finally meet you just for a brief moment.....I am having surgery the next day when I get back, Sept 10, and then, if I recover ok, I will be heading back out to Vegas the first week of October for at least 9 days (depending on whether friends and family from California can make it to VEGAS to meet up with me, OR if I am going to have to travel further into California and meet up with them, plans are still being fomented....)

Only 996 more points by August for my Black Card. Basically I must be a local given my play style and machines. I would still rack up min $5,000 loss. Better Red than dead!
