Spa Tocarre at The Borgata
A Lavish Casino Spa Near NYC

About.com Rating 4

By Anitra Brown, About.com

Spa Tocarre at The Borgata is a splashy retreat inside one of Atlantic City’s most luxurious hotels -- as lavish as Las Vegas. The billion-dollar, 2,000-room hotel is Bellagio-esque in its scale and showiness, down to Dale Chihuly’s colorful, medusa-like chandeliers of blown glass in the lobby.

Spa Toccare is a sprawling 31-treatment room affair where you can plunge into a hot tub, inhale eucalyptus in the steam room or watch ocean waves roll in on a giant plasma TV in the orange glow of the spa lounge. For a little fantasy (and hydrotherapy) with your massage, themed rooms like the Zen Bath Suite and the VIP Spa Suite let you enter your own private world of indulgence.

A Jade Facial For Good Luck

As for spa treatments, jade brings good luck, which comes in handy when a 125,000 square foot gambling floor is an elevator ride away. Using cool and warm jadestones, The Jade Stone Facial is twice as long as the typical facial with lengthy attentions to hands and feet. By the time it’s over, you’ll be melting off the table.

The Borgata's modern and very large guest rooms with marble bathroom floors and Egyptian linens provide a quiet getaway from the clamor of the casino floor.

Time your visit to catch performances by legendary entertainers (Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have both appeared here) and the dining is excellent. Restaurant hop to try the latest from celebrity chefs Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Michael Mina or Luke Palladino.

A five-minute jitney ride to the Boardwalk lands you on the six-mile cultural icon that combines retro pleasures like arcades, saltwater taffy shops and rolling chair rides with up-to-the-minute shopping at the The Pier at Cesar’s.
