00:00- Intro

00:18- Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Tour

I never knew you lived in NJ at some point in time, even though I have been watching your channel for a long time. Usually I end up getting up and finding something to eat while listening to your video because all the great food you share with us. I live in NJ and is is sad that Atlantic City is not what it used to be in the 1990's and early 2000's. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good place to loose your money at the casino's, but if you can not make it to Vegas, AC is the next best please..

I miss the old days of Atlantic City..Atlantic City was saturated with buffets at one time The Taj Mahal had two just by itself now there are three left.. The one at the Borgata, the one at the Hard Rock and Ballys..the one at the Hard Rock doesn’t even do breakfast and then the one at Ballys is only on the weekends for brunch

What’s the best way to visit Atlantic city from the UK? Fly to New York then drive there? Las Vegas has just become too expensive and poor value for money. Thanks.

Such an interesting place - would make an interesting night or two if visiting the East Coast of the states perhaps

@rjdavies1982

I was watching and thought, how can you do AC and not go to White House Subs? Then it was the last review. A really good review.

@JTA8130LV

I've worked in AC for years and live in Ventnor, the city below AC on the island. As I was watching this, I thought to myself, "Ok, someone in AC is paying this guy" then at the end it was revealed. Atlantic City is a slum with casinos, overrun with homeless people. The best thing to do in AC is leave but drive slow because the roads are in awful shape and the lines are largely worn off.

So I will be staying at Harrahs in Atlantic City for 3 days. It seems far away from the boardwalk. Is there a shuttle that goes from Harrahs to the boardwalk???? Thanks for sharing. Your video was awesome!!!!

Does the Borgata hotel have bed bugs?

I've lived in Myrtle Beach the past 5 years, and I have to say that I miss my hour drive to AC to collect free giveaways and gamble a little (I was a Caesars Gold Club member which gave me access to the lounge with free food and booze). You just have to stay in the casinos or on Pacific Avenue. But I have to say that MB is a nice to live in a place where summer is 8 months out of the year. If I wanted to I could hop a jet to AC any time and stay in a hotel for free. There are just as many great restaurants in MB, and I'm in an "underground" craps club.

@Echoes_of_Yesterday-q2y

Honestly in many places you dont want to have locally sourced food due to the fact that the general area is polluted

why would you live in a better place during ur vacation thn you have at home? thn when you come back ur just gonna be miserable

AC is underrated! People judge because of some surrounding areas. AC has some really nice properties, can be very affordable and have that bit of luxury if you want that too. Tons of great dining options, you won't go hungry! I prefer off season because most tourists aren't there and room rates are so cheap. Plus many properties have indoor pools if you want some type of pool day in the winter. It's a very quick getaway from NYC that has a lot to offer, sometimes you just don't wanna hop on a plane!
