No word on when things might return back to normal. In a statement, MGM Resorts said its investigation into the matter is ongoing. But then came a new problem: How do you cancel a trip when you can’t reach anybody at the casino or access the hotel’s website? When word of the problems at the Borgata started to get out on Monday, some customers planning to visit later this week commented on social media that they were considering canceling their trips. “It’s absolute chaos down here,” one Borgata customer named Mary (she asked us not to use her last name) told me. If you play a machine and win, the machines apparently aren’t printing out tickets. According to some gamblers I spoke with over the past 24 hours, they can’t use credit or debit cards to pay for anything. The casino’s operation is feeling the blow as well. Of course, it’s not just the hotel operation that’s impacted.

I tried doing that numerous times, and not one of my calls went through. All you’ll see is a message telling you to call the Borgata’s local phone number in Atlantic City.

The executives said it is essential that Atlantic City carry out a sustained “clean-and-safe” initiative. Many of the major gambling and hospitality companies have also expressed interest in building a New York casino. Jim Allen, Hard Rock’s global chairperson, said last month he expects the actual selection process to begin in late summer or early fall, assuming the necessary legislation to authorize as many as three casinos is enacted by then.
