High above the gambling floor at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City are a few select enclaves, the likes of which most visitors will never see.
To stay in one of the Borgata's two exclusive Residences, a guest must not only possess a high net worth, he or she must also have a predilection for gambling at high stakes. The comped suites are a luxury reserved for the casino's "whales," the types of gamblers that can take a slow month of revenue on the casino floor and thrust the casino's bottom line from red to black.
Not even headlining talent is offered a stay in the Residences — only gamblers — and the casino pulls out all the stops to draw them in, as the following photos reveal.
