Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Launches ShopBorgata.com Just in Time for the Holidays; ShopBorgata.com Debuts December 2.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Starting December 2nd, bringing home the stylish decor of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa will be just a click away with the official launch of ShopBorgata.com. It is a one-stop-shop offering Borgata customers a chance to buy the luxury furnishings, plush bedding and other amenities they love during their visits to the premiere East Coast destination.

"Our guests frequently contact us to purchase the furnishings and amenities available exclusively at Borgata from our mattresses and bedding to the artwork around the property," explains Tina Ercole-LoBiondo, Retail Development Manager. "ShopBorgata.com will offer guests the ability to purchase these signature products, many of which have not yet been available for purchase, at their convenience. It's a perfect way to shop for holiday gifts this season, and enjoy the Borgata experience at home year-round."

Borgata captivated customers with its star-studded debut in 2003, and continues to innovate with the launch of ShopBorgata.com, the first-of-its-kind online retail store in Atlantic City. The new site will be powered by Boxport, the premier full-service provider of hotel-retail programs, and will satisfy the growing demand as more guests ask to buy signature Borgata products.

ShopBorgata.com will feature deluxe items for the home, available exclusively for ShopBorgata.com, like sumptuous Borgata bedding and art by Mark Willems; the signature steak knives & sauces available at Old Homestead Steak House, teapots from Suilan by Susanna Foo, and delicacies and flatware from Luke Palladino's restaurant Ombra. The online store will also offer popular products available at Borgata like the highly-anticipated Babes of Borgata 2006 calendar. All purchases are ensured with a 24-hour delivery guarantee, perfect for the busy holiday shopping season.

"When you stay at Borgata, you don't want to leave -- so we created an online retail store modeled after this experience, where you can visit as often as you like and get the same stylish products," said Steve Higgins, Founder, Boxport.
