Also if you are looking to play at the borgata, most nights during the week at trump marina is $69. Its decent casino to stay at and right next door to the borgata.

I got the poker rate at the Borgata the very first time I went there.

Unless you were playing 100/200, or else there was a snowstorm and 3 feet of snow fell and no one could get to the casino but you, consider yourself very lucky you got the room rate at Borgata up front.

Granted, it was still done under the assumption you give them play or else you would have been charged the regular rate.

Re: Best place to stay in AC midweek.
 

I've stayed at the Borgota twice on weekdays and got the poker rate both times without giving any evidence of prior play.

The last time I stayed there with a friend and when I asked the brush to apply their time to our room hours the brush told me they don't keep track of play with regard to the room rate. If you have the room rate you have it. BTW this was in April, 2007 and I have never clocked more than 4 hours in a day and always play at 10-20 or below.

IMHO, the difficulty of getting the Borgota poker rate on weekdays is highly overstated

That may be true now, but it used to be very difficult. They would look at how many hours you played and at what limits, and 10/20 wasn't good enough to be considered.

WTF...I play 10/20 and was told I would have to play 20-30 hours per week to get a weekday poker rate at Borgata.

Re: Best place to stay in AC midweek.
 

I live in Ohio and mentioned both times I'm coming in from out of town. Maybe that helps. Plus, I gave no prior play statistics either time since the first time I had none and during that trip, which was a few months after they opened, they were not tracking time yet for rooms (and still aren't).

Try taking an out of state newbie roomy and make the reservation in their name. Looks to me that you either want no time or lots and lots of high limit time but not just a decent amount of play.

Out-of-town will help. AC is dying to turn into a destination type of place.

Have you checked the Borgata website for your offers? I play 10-20, less than 200 hours since June, and I qualify for the poker rate starting Nov 1. Wasn't sure if I had suddenly met enough hours or it is just easier to get in the winter though.
