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..

@soldanovhtWhat’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.
@BarneyhomeboyBest thing to do in AC: leave.
@HiggtasticVTThis is one of the worst "Things to do in XX city" I have ever seen .... you WASTED the vast majority of the video making us watch you EAT!!!!!!
@hykzrhI m planning to go there but I don’t have car please I need ur advice which hotel is best to stay which is close to beach and market .
@sita5735summary: there is nothing new in AC. this video highlighted 10 resturants/bars, and 1 water park (which is good to know)
@whypopme88Great video, thank you!
@boypiercemusicWow, I just rediscovered AC.
@BobNewbieNo, no no why would you bring kids to a casino? It doesn’t make any sense.
@BillyBob-jb3yyVery nice video. I just subscribed
@stevesavage6760I’m heading there this Friday for 4th of July I hope it’s more fun
@BBXRT-OO-wwwGreat video! But you forgot Little Water Distillery!
@SptvwatcherThese People & Their Versions/Versions of/Of Nice/Nice, Yeah/Yeah, & Figure/Figure out/Out, Are/Are Finished/Finished Permanently/Permanently!!!!! THIS APPLY IN Medium/small/LARGE....
@AngelaKayeHatchettWhat was the price tag of this trip?
@secretface70best thing to do is turn around and go home
@michaeliavecchia9555Such an interesting place - would make an interesting night or two if visiting the East Coast of the states perhaps
@rjdavies1982I 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.
@JTA8130LVI'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.
@frankanon4450So 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!!!!
@MrScottmccarthyThe best itinerary for Atlantic City, NJ is simply to avoid it.
@whathappenedtofreethinking6902Best thing to do is leave.
@andrekellogg8859Excellent video showcasing Atlantic City. There's so much to discover and experience here... More great things are coming 😊
@eatsleepplayacGreat review been to Atlantic City hundreds of times living near by in Pa.
@terrellwroten7596Does the Borgata hotel have bed bugs?
@harris6284I'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.
@themagus5906Where is that pulsing life, AC dieing last 10y ,and every year is worst and worst
@robertsabo3247hahahahaha, next up, gaza, lets see how u make that look good;)
@joshiebergerWHAT REALLY. THAT IS NOT THE BIGGEST IN DOOR WATER PARK..... WEST EDMONTON. MALL. WATER PARK IS. Like 4 times bigger that with OVER 20 water slides... and a olyimpic size wave pool. Surfing.
THAT WATER PARK. SO SMALL. FACT STRIGHT
Damn that food looks awesome...
@alwynnoronha88584:27 my man loving the vibes I see
@Echoes_of_Yesterday-q2yHonestly in many places you dont want to have locally sourced food due to the fact that the general area is polluted
@Echoes_of_Yesterday-q2ywhy 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
@Echoes_of_Yesterday-q2yAC 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!
