Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Borgata shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Borgata offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Borgata at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Borgata? Wrong! If the Borgata is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Borgata then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Borgata? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Borgata and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Borgata wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Borgata then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Borgata site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Borgata, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Borgata, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is a [hotel, casino, and
Destination spa in
Atlantic City, New Jersey owned by
Marina District Development Corporation, LLC. The name means "little village" in Italian. The Borgata was built to bring high rollers back to Atlantic City. At a cost of $1.1 billion, The Borgata is a 43-story hotel with 2,002 guest rooms, 70,000 square feet (7,000 m²) of meeting space, 13 gourmet restaurants, a 50,000 square foot (5,000 m²) spa, and a 161,000 square foot (15,000 m²) gambling floor. With a profit margin of about $600,000 a day on non-gambling revenue, the Borgata's total daily income is about $2,000,000. The Borgata has also been seen as a catalyst for recent expansions by nearby casinos and reinvigorating the Atlantic City casino industry. It is also said to be the greatest reason behind the Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004.
History
The Borgata was part of a major project in Atlantic City nicknamed "The Tunnel Project" around
1999. When
Steve Wynn had planned the new
The Mirage in Atlantic City, he wanted to connect a $330 million 2.5-mile tunnel from the
Atlantic City Expressway to the new resort, named the
Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector, which would funnel incoming traffic off the Atlantic City Expressway into the city's marina district.
This caused major controversy, as it would go through a middle-class African American neighborhood. Competitor Donald Trump sued Wynn for it saying that it was a "driveway" to his new casino.
The Tunnel Project did go on, finally opening in
2001 to foot traffic. Four days later it opened to vehicular traffic. The Borgata opened on
July 2,
2003 at 11:45pm. The main tower is the tallest building in South Jersey and is visible from many miles away.
In late 2005 and early 2006, the Borgata underwent a $200 million casino and retail expansion. The new wing opened in June of 2006. A $325 million hotel addition is planned for 2007.{{Citation | last = Sloan

In early 2006, a fire nearly destroyed the Ombra restaurant inside of the resort. Nobody was injured and the damage has since been repaired.
In July 2006, the Borgata opened its new poker room -- the largest in Atlantic City.
Nightlife
The Mixx is Borgata's original nightclub; a second club called Mur Mur was opened during the resort's recent expansion.
"Bobby Flay Steak" features a large lounge/bar/club area outside the restaurant.
Seablue Features a lounge/bar designed by
Adam Tihany and owned by renowned chef Michael Mina.
Wolfgang Puck American Grille features another large lounge/bar/club upon entering the restaurant.
The Water Club at Borgata
A new upscale boutique hotel-within-a-hotel dubbed "The Water Club" is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in early 2008.
The expansion will include 800 additional guest rooms, four unique pool environments, a two-story, 36,000-square-foot spa, 18,000 square feet of meeting space, and additional retails shops.
On September 23, 2007, the south side of the partially-built Water Club caught on fire. The blaze burned from base to roof, but was extinguished within a half-hour. Damage was reported to be superficial in nature. It is unknown if the fire will delay the planned 2008 opering of the expansion.
Controversy
In 2005, the Borgata issued a policy that it would fire any cocktail waitress who gained more than 7% of their body weight and didn't lose it within 90 days.
