LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was named the 2018
"Property of the Year" during the Global Gaming Awards at the
Global Gaming Expo.
This honor caps an already historic year for Borgata.
Celebrating its 15th year of operations, the unparalleled East
Coast resort continues to raise the bar in Atlantic City years after its momentous debut,
offering guests an electrifying summer season of the biggest names
in entertainment, exclusive culinary experiences, and unique casino
promotions and special events.
In June, Borgata made history, becoming the first Atlantic City casino to accept legal sports
wagers under New Jersey's new
sports betting law, which followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in
May that struck down a federal ban on sports wagering.
"Congratulations to the team at Borgata for this remarkable
achievement. This award is a testament to Borgata's world-class
offerings and showcases MGM Resorts' leadership in markets
throughout the United States and
around the world," said Jim Murren,
Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International. "We are committed to
being the industry leader in every market in which we operate, and
we look forward to creating new, innovative and groundbreaking
opportunities in New Jersey and
nationwide."
Fifteen years after blazing a trail as a leading entertainment
destination, Borgata continued the tradition this summer with a
line-up of world-class artists and events, including performances
by Britney Spears, Cher,
Barry Manilow, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave
Chappelle, Camila Cabello,
and Ringo Starr, as well as a full
calendar of Savor Borgata Culinary Series events featuring
exclusive celebrity-chef hosted dinners and tasting events and an
outdoor food festival.
Marcus Glover, President and
Chief Operating Officer for Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa said,
"This award is welcome validation of the hard work contributed by
every member of our Borgata team as we celebrate 15 years of
leadership and innovation in Atlantic
City. Since entering the market in 2003, Borgata has made it
our mission to grow and invest in not only our property and
product, but in our team members and guests; offering an unrivaled
experience to anyone who walks through our doors."
The Global Gaming Awards are powered by Gambling Insider
and presented to the industry in association with the Global Gaming
Expo (G2E). The global contest recognizes land-based and digital
businesses for their achievements in the gaming industry over the
previous year.
"Borgata is a stalwart of the Atlantic City Market. To have
Borgata and MGM here with us is an absolute honor and a sign of the
stature of these awards," said David
Cook, Editor of Gambling Insider. "It's great to see
Borgata and MGM victorious here today."
