Atlantic City, NJ (November 13, 2009) – Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa announced today the addition of Grammy nominated pop superstar Lady Gaga (January 16, 2010) to its 2010 entertainment lineup. The show went on sale at 10AM and sold out in less than two minutes; a record-breaking time for a show at the Event Center.

Tickets for all music and comedy performances at Borgata can be purchased through www.theborgata.com, or call 866-900-4TIX (4849).

Lady Gaga
Event Center
Saturday, January 16, 2010 – 8pm
$55; $65

Multi-talented singer-songwriter Lady Gaga will bring her flair for theatrics to the Event Center on Saturday, January 16.

“I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I’m a ham today,” says Lady Gaga, 23, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song “Beautiful Dirty Rich.” “I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three,” says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen’s song “Radio Gaga” and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. “I look at those artists as icons in art. It’s not just about the music. It’s about the performance, the attitude, the look; it’s everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish.”

“My goal as an artist is to funnel a pop record to a world in a very interesting way,” says Gaga, who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her most recent album, The Fame.
The CD’s opener and first single, “Just Dance,” gets the dance floor rocking with a “fun, L.A., celebratory vibe.” As for the equally catchy, “Boys Boys Boys,” Gaga doesn’t mind wearing her influences on her sleeve. “I wanted to write the female version of Motley Crue’s ‘Girls Girls Girls,’ but with my own twist. I wanted to write a pop song that rockers would like.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might come off as a love song to cameras, and in all honestly, Gaga jokes “on one level it IS about wooing the paparazzi and wanting fame.

“The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous,” she explains. “Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.”

The Borgata

Atlantic City, NJ (October 29, 2009) - Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa offers guests a one-of-a-kind culinary experience on the East Coast with a wide array of restaurants and world-renowned chefs under one roof. On Saturday, November 7th, Borgata will once again present SAVOR BORGATA – An Evening with Borgata Chefs – at The Water Club. This year, each restaurant will be represented with their own culinary station offering guests the rare opportunity to sample signature items and interact with celebrated chefs Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Michael Mina, Michael Schulson, Stephen Kalt, Geoffrey Zakarian, Romeo DiBona, Ron Ross and Thaddeus DuBois. With diverse and innovative approaches to fine dining, several chefs from this celebrated culinary roster recently discussed their favorite fall ingredients and how they like to use them.

		Wolfgang Puck – Wolfgang Puck American Grille Ingredient: White Truffle Why: White truffles are only available in the fall and winter. How: Shaved generously on pizza, pasta and risotto. Recipe: Baked Macaroni and Cheese with White Truffles
		Michael Mina – SEABLUE, A Michael Mina Restaurant Ingredient: Nantucket Bay Scallops Why: Nantucket Bay Scallops are small, sweet like candy, taste like the sea distilled and have a smooth, almost creamy texture. They are only available from November until the temperature starts to drop below freezing and they quit fishing for them. How: It is my belief that Nantuckets are at their best completely raw or ever-so-lightly marinated. Recipe: Marinated Nantucket Bay Scallops with Ruby Grapefruit, Juniper Berry and Shaved Fennel
		Michael Schulson – IZAKAYA, A Modern Japanese Pub Ingredient: Kabocha Squash Why: I love when the seasons change because it really allows you to eat foods that haven’t been around for most of the year. Summertime is for light foods and now that fall is upon us, I really enjoy squash because it’s a little heavier than the ingredients we have been eating. How: Great for grilling, steaming, braising or pureeing. Its sweet flavor makes for great desserts Recipe: Kabocha Cheesecake with Cashew Streusel
		Geoffrey Zakarian – Culinary Lifestyle Consultant, The Water Club at Borgata Ingredient: Quince Why: It is a luscious, rich and buttery version of a pear-apple and has an almost perfume-like quality when placed directly under the nose. How: It is best used around November, when it is ripe yet still firm. In my opinion, it should always be cooked as it creates a beautiful syrup when poached with some light aromatics. Recipe: Quince with Unsweetened Chocolate
		Romeo DiBona – Old Homestead Steak House Ingredient: Acorn Squash Why: The color and taste is the best in the fall. How: Cut into rounds, grilled and seasoned. Recipe: Cinnamon and Espresso Crusted Lamb Chops with Grilled Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Puree
		Thaddeus DuBois – Executive Pastry Chef, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Ingredient: Molasses Why: I like the rich, smoky flavor it imparts into baked goods How: Molasses adds a great rich, fiery flavor to cookies, breads, ice creams, puddings and candies. It helps make cookies chewy and loaded with texture. Recipe: Oatmeal Raisin Molasses Spice Cookies
