The hotel, which will feature highly personalized service, is slated to open in early 2008. It will introduce a unique brand of hospitality to the resort with 800 finely appointed guest rooms and suites; a two-story spa in the sky, 18,000 square feet of meeting space, five heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools – each offering a different experience and six retail shops. The hotel is located adjacent to the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. The Water Club is a joint venture between Boyd Gaming and MGM MIRAGE and will complete Borgata’s $600 million master plan development and bring the total investment in the resort to $1.7 billion.
