MISGUIDED HEADLINE/IDEA/USE OF MONEY OF THE DAY
Once tacky resort city gets more class
Some excerpts:
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Move over kitsch; step aside, tackiness. Make a little more room for the newest feature of this resort city: upscale shops and eateries.
While some of the stores are standard mall fare — think Victoria's Secret, Gymboree and the Apple Store — some are super high-end. A whole level is dedicated to couture, where the floors are blue terrazzo marble and the shops sell Burberry clothes, Tiffany jewelry and Tourneau watches (classy!).
While other casinos have themes such as the Wild West and Ancient Rome, the Borgata emanates luxury and hipness. Scantily clad waitresses patrol the casino floor, the rooms have showers built for two and tour buses are not courted for their normally low-rent business. (can someone explain to me how scantily clad waitresses and showers built for two means hip? this to me means "herpes")
On Friday, the Borgata is scheduled to open a $200 million expansion, featuring restaurants by Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay and Michael Mina (you can buy wolfgang puck frozen food at the supermarket), along with a second night club, an upscale food court and a new 85-table poker room. (YAHOO NEWS)
New Jersey please stop trying!!!! It ain't never gonna work.
