A slew of good things to say about the Music Box at Borgata. First, they have their own box office…read morefor 'Day of show' convenience. The Music Box is located alongside the casino near the Borgata buffet. The location makes it very easy to enter comfortably right before showtime. The Music Box is not Borgata's main showroom, but instead a medium size venue with about 1000 seats. There are floor seats and elevated seating to suit most people's needs. You'll get a great view and sound from just about anywhere. If you're seeing a rock band, the first few floor seat rows to the side of stage may be too close to the speakers. They do have a bar within the theater with basic drinks. The venue is well-staffed with experienced help to ensure a smooth show.

Seating is not permanent theater seating. They were chairs I imagine are reconfigured around round tables for a wedding another time. It felt very spread out and like a convention keynote. But if you really like the performer, I suppose you can overlook that and enjoy the show. Free parking was nice! We skipped the valet and used self-park in the garage. They waived us all through after the show so there was no fee.

And we got to enjoy a weekend away in Atlantic City. The Hall is located right next to Caesars on the boardwalk. It's a decent size, and most of the seats are pretty good. No really bad seats in the stadium. The music was good, and the pyro and lighting were perfect. I would return again if another good performance happens.

It was cute a lot of local businesses decorated trees, and they looked so pretty lined up. I wished it was a bit better promoted than one boardwalk champion because it was pretty and festive. While I was there, I read some of the signs about the town's history. There were some great vintage signs and photos and a Mr. Peanut costume. Even if you are not here for an event, it's an informative little museum inside that's worth a few minutes of your time.

The new nightclub, WAV, was open that night. I had no interest in clubbing, but noticed an email offering free and discounted cover. About a dozen people sat around Monkey Bar. A sign said that the dueling piano bar would be open at 10pm. Everything else appeared closed. Garces is no longer handling the catering. The website sucks so I don't know what the deal with the T Street food is. It should have been a lively, hot scene rather than a desolate ghost town. I'd love to be proved wrong with this review update, but for now I won't be holding my breath.

I went to the soft grand opening for this place held on the Thursday prior to the grand opening…read more My overall feeling about this place is meh. ...meh. They offered sample sizes of some of the food they plan to offer and it was nothing to write home about. In fact so much so that I'll leave the food details at just that. It's what I expect to be overpriced pub food (price list or menu wasn't given to us) and with several locations it didn't feel as if any actually offered a variety of food. Pub, pub, everywhere. The concept is there but T Street offers no form of originality that makes it worth going to in place of similar places. In fact, with the location in a mall I actually felt that the venue and placement was a bit awkward. While there is no place quite like it in Atlantic City I don't find that it'll be a location to really drive in visitors. Let's face it, AC is a dying city and well in need of attractions to bring tourists and money back into the area. Perhaps when it's completely finished it will better represent the vision. I personally felt the venue was one-dimensional and for the amount of space could've offered a greater variety of music/food to fit various preferences. For now, I can say the live music is a nice addition. In some places it was played so deafeningly loud that it was difficult to really sit, eat and converse if that's what you chose to do. However, If that's your scene you'll likely enjoy it but its also worth noting that the majority of music was country/bluegrass. The drinks were okay. There were no specialty drinks/menu offered but the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable at preparing classics. As of right now this is not on my must do list for when I visit AC and doubt it will ever be. However, I will be fair and return when the venue is completely finished and possibly update my review.

A new music venue has arrived on the Atlantic City scene: Festival Park at the Borgata. This is an…read moreoutdoor concert venue tucked into a corner of the property by the Water Club tower. It occupies what was formerly a parking lot, and you could not really tell it ever was a lot. The space itself is set up nicely, with food and beer kiosks towards the rear along with some tables and lounge chairs set up in a grotto. Along the sides are the highest end port-o-potty setups I've ever seen, they look like construction trailers but inside are very private and clean restrooms with attendants. In front of the stage is a large grassy area where people stand or can sit on blankets/towels. No chairs are permitted. Strung along the trees, grotto, and above the trailers are festival style lights, which dim when the show begins. Because it's a former surface lot, to the left as you face the stage is a 4 story parking garage, and at the rear is, as I mentioned, the Water Club tower. To your right beyond the fence is another surface lot and Harrah's tower. This makes for not ideal sound, things tend to bounce all off the flat surfaces and do crazy things. Then again, there are not a lot of great outdoor venues for sound (the Mann Music Center being the one true exception in this area). It was a quite pleasant place to hear music, though, comfortable and well equipped. My one sole gripe: They allow smoking, and unless there is a breeze in your favor happening, you feel like you're in a bar. Stinky. Really stinky. Enough that it would give us pause in attending another event there, though for the right act we'd probably come and bring some masks or something to block the smell. The venue would do well to add some industrial fans to move that smoke along it's way, or, better, ban smoking entirely as other venues in the area do.

I visited Ovation Hall during my first-ever trip to Atlantic City. I was pleasantly surprised by…read morethe venue, and I'd definitely considering coming back for another show. I saw the Totally Tubular festival, which was a variety show of several 80s bands. (The original acts, not cover bands.) The venue is located inside the Ocean Casino Resort. Ovation Hall is medium sized--definitely not intimate, but also nothing like a true arena. Acoustics were pretty good, and there are giant TVs on each side of the stage to see closeups of the performers. Overall the show went smoothly, with only one or two minor technical glitches, which seemed pretty good for the first night of a showcase tour. A friend and I sat on the side of the venue and still had a clear view. I thought it was worth it for $50 tickets (per person). This was a winter show, so none of the summertime beach traffic. The casino was busy but not overwhelmingly so. It was pretty easy to find parking and locate the venue inside. (Also it's not very smoky inside.) There are drinks available in Ovation Hall itself as well as small snacks. You can get more substantial food outside in the casino. Overall, I had a good experience at Ovation Hall, and I'll keep it on my radar for future shows.

I thought that I was doing a good thing by buying aisle, second row seats using the artist presale code. My view was partially obstructed all night, with no ability of the band to migrate out that far left. Adding to that frustration was being right up against the audio stacks on the left, and they were obviously wireless because the sound kept dropping out like you were watching a movie and it was buffering. Speaking of buffering, the video screens behind the stage were lagging by a full second. I attempted to capture how bad the view and sound was in the attached images and video. Worst venue ever.
