The Borgata Hotel Atlantic City is a high end casino resort located in the Marina area of Atlantic City, NJ. The Atlantic City Borgata is considered by many to set the standard for casino hotels in AC. The word “Borgata” means “little village” in Italian lending the resort an Italian or Tuscan theme. The Borgata Hotel Atlantic City opened in 2003 after the construction of a 3 mile long tunnel from the Atlantic City Expressway to the Marina District, sponsored by the resort’s developer.

This makes the Borgata Atlantic City a particularly convenient place to reach for weekend and day visitors coming by car or bus from the big cities in the region. In 2006 the hotel was expanded with the construction of a second tower, called the Water Club at the Borgata. The Water Club adds another 800 rooms to the property, bringing the total to about 2800 rooms. That makes the Borgata Hotel Atlantic City the largest of the Atlantic City resorts.
