Even though there are no casinos in the Big Apple, New Yorkers need not travel far to find world-class gambling facilities. Atlantic City sits on the east coast of New Jersey, south of New York City, and offers a number of grand gaming resorts. On the other side of Long Island Sound, southeast Connecticut boasts two world-class casinos that can easily be reached by bus, train or car.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
The Borgata opened to much fanfare in 2003, and the hoopla has not stopped. The 2,000-room hotel still fills to capacity most nights, and the restaurants and clubs have become favorites with locals and visitors alike. The Borgata casino boasts 161,000 square feet of gaming space, including over 4,000 slot machines. The biggest poker room in Atlantic City calls the Borgata home.
