Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is a hotel, casino, and spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States.It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International.The casino hotel features 2,798 rooms and is the largest hotel in New Jersey.
Borgata is owned by Marina District Development, a company half owned by Boyd Gaming, which operates several smaller casinos around the country, and a trust set up by MGM Resorts International.
Back in 2010, the New Jersey Gaming Commission wanted MGM resorts to sell its 50% stake in Borgata, due to the Commission being uncomfortable with the role that billionaire casino owner Stanley Ho and his daughter Pansy Ho played in the MGM Macau, given the accusations that the family is connected to organized crime in China.
In 2014, the Commission relented, and MGM is back on the white list, after these concerns were dealt with satisfactorily.
Borgata is located in the Marina district of Atlantic City, and there was originally 3 casino hotels to be built there, including a Mirage. Steve Wynn campaigned to get n exit ramp on the a 2.5 mile connector proposed from the Atlantic City Expressway to the Marina district, and went head to head with Donald Trump who sued him, claiming he expected the government to pay for his own private driveway.
Wynn‘s casino never did get built, as his Mirage company got bought out by MGM, who proposed building Borgata instead. The connector went ahead, and Borgata ended up getting the exit ramp. One of Trump’s casinos got a ramp as well so everyone ended up happy.
Borgata opened in 2001, and its signature gold tower was the third tallest building in Atlantic City at the time. The property saw a $200 million expansion in 2006, including adding the city’s largest poker room. 2008 saw the building of an 800 room boutique hotel called The Water Club, bringing the total number of rooms of the property to 2,802, the most in Atlantic City.
The Water Club is currently the fourth tallest building in Atlantic City, with the main Borgata tower sitting in fifth, and together they quite an impressive sight.
