Interesting that Borgata doesn't status match the GN.

Personally, I "think" that is an oversight. Doesn't really make much sense.

While on the subject; Golden Nugget Atlantic City is also very aggressive with status matching.

How can they forget about their neighbor? :D :p

Agree. And, from the reports I get lately, the Golden Nugget AC is one of the best kept "secrets" of Atlantic City (with regard to comps and promotions).

If you play outside AC (LAS, Reno, etc.) you have to play in a nationwide system, so, while GN might be great relative to AC, play there won't get you comps in LAS (say). [Borgata used to have a link with MGM-Mirage, now only Boyd.]

You don't HAVE TO. You may, WANT TO, but you definitely don't HAVE TO.

I know many who play at Wynncore/Venetian in Vegas, Mohegan and Borgata on the East Coast.

In any event, Golden Nugget AC and Golden Nugget Vegas are associated and do cross market and promote.

Personally, it's sometimes better to NOT have all your eggs in one (nationwide) basket. Since, if that nationwide gaming company decides they are not really interested in your business, you are "screwed."

Sticking with one major Casino system, like flying on one airline system, leads to lots of nice perks. But, as you note, I use Borgata as a backup (more so when they were linked with MGM-Mirage and I split most my play between MLife and TR).
