The first two days of Borgata's opening, kids were permitted to walk through the casino with their guardian. On the 3rd day, persons under the age of 18 were not permitted to walk through the casino floor unless accompanied by adult with a hotel room key or who had restaurant reservations.

This is the policy that was in effect in Atlantic City for many of the early years that casinos opened ... until that regulation was relaxed maybe a half-dozen years ago. Now it's up to each individual casino to administer their own casino policy. Also, effective July 1st, NJ Governor McGreevey has raised the parking fee from $2 to $3 ... in an effort to balance the state budget and as a result many casinos are now charging $4 (Trump Properties) $5 at Caesars and $10 at Sands. Several casinos such as Harrah's and Showboat no longer recognize platinum cards for free parking.

Borgata was waving cars through their toll booths during their first two days they were open in an effort to relieve the tremendous backlog of cars exiting the parking garage ... sometime up to 45 minute wait to get out. Borgata now charges $3 per car to park.
