Location Reports Atlantic City, NJ
In July of 2012, Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa finished overhauling all of its 1,566 guest rooms and corridors at a cost of $50 million.
In addition to these upgrades, meeting planners also will appreciate Borgata's meeting space, which is equipped to accommodate speakerphones, data ports, high-speed Internet access, and a wide array of advanced audio-visual equipment.
The resort is home to 24 spacious venues that can accommodate groups up to 3,500.

The Harrah’s convention site would fulfill the wishes of many groups that have expressed a desire to come to Atlantic City if such facilities were in place.
It is also envisioned that the development of the Harrah’s convention facility will spur additional development throughout the city and bring with it new non-gaming attractions and businesses, further ener- gizing the market.
