Thanks everyone! Does anyone have an opinion if I should stay at the Borgata casino side vs the Water club?

When i used to go to Borgata, I would always stay at water club. Even if my reservation was for the regular tower, I would just check in at the water club checkin and ask for them to put me there. Slightly smaller rooms, but a bit nicer and certainly quieter. I've never done the pools at Borgata, but my understanding is that there is an additional pool or two just for the water club guests.

I always prefer Ocean to Borgata. It's on the boardwalk, nice and new, and nice indoor/outdoor pool.

Looking to go to Atlantic City next week and the Borgata is booked. Are the rooms at any of other hotels as nice? My priority is most luxurious stay. Second Priority is that it should be in a casino. (Should I be thinking about the Pennsylvania casinos - I know, wrong thread)

Ocean is nice, Hard Rock I’ve stayed in a pretty bad room (small and smelled like smoke) and a really nice suite.

King of Prussia has ok Hyatt and Marriott hotels nearby (clean but not luxurious).

I did not. Consensus ranking in AC seems like Borgata #1, Ocean #2. So I went with #2. I didn't look into resorts.

Rates vary dramatically depending on the date and the property. Do you have status or gamble with any of the casinos?
