[ QUOTE ] New location is quite a walk from the parking garage. No big deal tho. [/ QUOTE ] Surface parking is the nuts, entrance is about 50 ft. from poker room. [/ QUOTE ] I forgot to add a 'you da man' for this tip bishop. The only problem I had was figuring out exactly how to get out of the lot. I ended up following a jitney and found the little teeny tiny booth in the far corner of the lot.

Re: *** OFFICIAL Borgata Opening Weekend Thread ***
Yes, as your approaching the entrance to the Borgata, you'll see the large road signs with arrows directing you to either garage/valet parking or surface lot. Ya cant miss it. Anybody poke thier head in the horse race simulcast room? I did not see it in operation but it looks very classy.

[/ QUOTE ] Easily the best racebook in the city and on par with all but the top 2 or 3 in vegas. Around 100 seats with premium LCD TVs at each spot and plenty of autototes, I was very disappointed to find out that smoking was permitted but the high ceilings and ventilation meant that the air was still good, not sure if it would be the same during peak times.

[/ QUOTE ] Same to you! I think I joked to your friend about playing heads-up. It was almost ten minutes after the table had been called when I left. Had there been more than three of us I would have stuck around. But I am a big shorthanded nit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Maybe some day we can actually play a hand together. I will keep an eye out for any AC gettogethers this fall/winter.

[/ QUOTE ] I was planning on hitting the garage (instead of letting the car sit in the sun all morning/afternoon as it has no A/C) but when I saw the "SURFACE PARKING" on the big green sign that directs you to the Borg off the connector expressway I remembered reading Bishop's post and hit it up. You absolutely can't miss it, unless you autopilot into the garage or valet without looking up. I can see it filling up quickly once it becomes well known and during high traffic times. To get out, go towards the gate where you entered, turn left until you hit the back wall, then follow it right.
