You got that wrong mr. Kennedy The Gays love those places I think that's what Borgata means when they say they are after the Young affluent visitor. I did notice allot of them when I was last down there.

Same mistake Vegas made and the same group (MGM Grand) making the mistake. The young affluent (Vegas used the term young, hip and trendy)visitors are now the young, overextended visitors and are staying mhome. Besides that, they come to party, not to gamble.

If you want a REAL massage, forget the spas and go the a licensed and certified massage therapist. Why pay big bucks to have someone rub oil into your body, when you can pay half as much and get the muscles truly worked on.

Um Peanut? They are licensed in the casinos. In fact they are the best. I dont see where your coming from?

Didn't say they weren't, just a word of advice to always get a massage from someone who is at the very least nationally certified and licensed. Sorry, you will not get the best massage from a spa, the massage therapist at spas are overworked and USUALLY not allowed to work to their full potential.

Um? so why are these spa's rated top in the world? Between The one in Tropicana and the one in Harrahs and Borgata there the top. Infact Harrahs and Borgata even include the name "spa" in there official name and logo. You still really thing there not good?

We really do not care about the spas in AC. we go to AC for something different. If I wanted a rub down I can get one anywhere within a couple of miles from my house.

Right debbie but if you want first class you come to places like this.

Anyone can do a nice, little relaxing massage (which by the way, does feel good) anywhere. Overpricing it and calling it a spa treatment is a way to fool people into thinking it is better than a therapeutic massage. It is like saying that TGIF serves great food, when most people KNOW you go to that nice little bistro down the road for truly great food. It's all about marketing.

We're getting into semnatics here. Agreed, you can get a good massage in a number of places other than at a spa, but there's more to the spas than just massages. They offer facials, body treatments, various types of baths, etc. Some include restaurants where you can get healthy meals and/or drinks. Both massages and spas are great. Which you use depends on your preference.

I actually know one of the people do massage at the Borgata and she is excellent. I went to her before she worked for them. Her pay is pretty good and she does not just give a relaxing massage. It does cost more there than going to someone who works privately, but then again you are in AC - everything costs more. By the way some of the massages and spa treatments are comped by the casino to the higher rollers - they need to be better than good.
