Headquarters: One Borgata Way Atlantic City, NJ 08401 Employees: 7,000 CEO: Robert Boughner Website: http://www.theborgata.com Career Site The Borgata is Atlantic City's most recently built casino. Located in the marina section, about a 5 minute drive from the Boardwalk, the Borgata has led a new wave of development in Atlantic City. Borgata means little village in Italian. Borgata is a joint venture of two top Las Vegas gaming companies -- Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage. It features 2,000 guest rooms and suites, 125,000 square feet of gaming, 163 gaming tables, 3,600 slot machines, 11 destination restaurants, 11 retail boutiques, a 50,000 square foot spa, 70,000 square feet of event space, and parking for 7,100 cars. The Borgata brings a Vegas style to Atlantic City with entertainment including concerts and the Mixx night club. Since its opening in July 2003, business has been strong and has helped revitalize Atlantic City by bringing a younger and more upscale crowd to the area. The Borgata opened a $200 million expansion in June 2006 which included several restaurants headed by celebrity chefs Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck, a new poker room and upscale food court. An additional 520 slot machines and 44 gaming tables were added. In 2008, the Borgata opened a new hotel tower called The Water Club with 800 rooms. The economic downturn has hurt the Borgata along with the rest of Atlantic City. The hotel laid off 400 workers in November 2008. Updated April 12, 2009
