What are the names of the EM-G-EM stores in AC? And what are the HET ones? thanks.
Ac em-g-em

I believe the em gee em share (50%) of the Borg was recently sold. In any case, there are no em gee em player's card casinos in AC. The Borg's card is run by Boyd and their card are divided in to 3 regions of the country and there are no direct connections between them. One time, I was going to the midwest, called a host at a Boyd casino and told them I had a Borg Black Card and asked if I could get a comped room. They gave me a suite.shadroch said:

Em Gee Em's share of Borg were being held in escrow pending disposition of it's investment after the New Jersey commission ruled that they were barred from operating any casino in AC due to their business arrangement involving certain mob elements in China in connection with their Macau casino there. That also put the kabosh on their building of a casino between the Borg and Harr's next door. I have not heard anything about their escrow or whether Boyd has bought them out or located a buyer for the Em Gee Em 50% share.21forme said:
An AC frequent flyer told me that the swamp land on which the Borg was built was originally purchased by Steve Wynn for $1, and he in turn sold it for a considerable profit for the construction of the Borg. I don't know the veracity of this story.

I found this article which seems to corroborate the story that Wynn obtained the Borg property for $1. The article below is fuzzy, but we do know that it was not Steve Wynn who built the Borg.
The Borgata is the first casino to be built in Atlantic City in over 13 years. Steve Wynn, who built the Mirage and much of Las Vegas, was offered just a single dollar to build their first super casino. With a price tag of over $1 billion, this is a serious venture if there ever was one. If things go as planned, it will change Atlantic City forever. In early 2000, MGM MIRAGE partnered with Boyd Gaming to begin construction on it. It took 3 years to complete, plus years of planning earlier. The casino is staggering in size: The lot is over 233 football fields. 130,000 sq. ft. of casino space. 50,000 sq. ft. just for their spa. 70,000 sq. ft. of convention space. It houses a 43 story luxury hotel that has nothing comparable to it in the entire east coast. http://www.atlanticcitydirect.com/borgata.html

Probably linked to a database of known felons. You don't think they would use such advanced and expensive technology to keep away the barely noticeable buzz and bite of the common CC fly, do you?assume_R said:"They boast a super advanced facial recognition system to keep bad people out."
Aslan, never mind about a database of known felons, how about DMVs? If Mega-Borg gets "the right connections", it may be able to hook up into DMVs, from which it can get all APs' photos, DOBs, and the whole 9 yards. I'm just “thinking out loud” & seek some possibilities from all sides. What do you guys think? How likely the Borg-DMVs connections will be, publicly or other-wise secretly?

You've gone beyond my usual paranoia about everything. I don't think so. It would be like bringing in a SAM to kill a fly.Tico said:Aslan, never mind about a database of known felons, how about DMVs?

Thinking out your ass is more like it. In the first place, who looks anything like their DMV photo and in the second, accessing those records for non-governmental purposes is a felony.Tico said:Aslan, never mind about a database of known felons, how about DMVs?

Acessing files
Mr. shadroch is indeed correct as far as files and information contained in them. There has been even law enforcement prosecutions involving policeman that acessed files for personal use and were prosecuted. The ramifications of being caught are too costly and far outweigh any benefit.

Hello Shaq, these are for you: Pictures are better than 1,000 words
:laugh:
Shaq, according to the case law of Shippen vs DMV & the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), a DMV is allowed to sell info for a profit; thus, my question may not be ... as per your quote: "Thinking out your ass is more like it... " :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Jim, thanks.
