Recap | Gambling Downgrades and “Upgrades” at Borgata Atlantic City by MGM

I meant to publish this re-cap last week about the Gambling Downgrades and Upgrades at Borgata Atlantic City, but things got a bit busy.

I am referring to my notes, which were only semi-organized so please feel free to point out any discrepancies.
