Why would they count gold,platinum or Noir as a black card. Shouldn't it just be Noir. Gold is a dime a dozen

Plat or noir should match but wow doesn't take much play to hit gold.
The Black Card is actually Borgata's mid-tier to upper-tier card -- sort of like Mlife Platinum and TR Diamond. You can't rightly invite Mlife customers to come to Borgata and give them the same Red Card any schmuck off the street can get.
By the way, Borgata has another card that I don't see mentioned on its website called "Titanium" that Borgata provides to its .05%/whales. This tier scheme is actually very similar to the Seminole properties in Florida, which has two public card levels ("Wild" and "Elite") the "secret" X-Card for their best customers. I'm sure some marketing genius/consultant told them this was a good idea.
Full disclosure: I do not have either a titanium card, but have seen a couple get flashed at Borgata and asked a Slot Attendant what it was. I also do not have an X Card, which you need to get into the Plum Lounge at the Seminole Hard Rock, but one of my neighbors (who has also flown on the Seminole jet and seriously needs to call 1-800-Admit-It) has one.
The Plum Lounge is really awesome and might be the best Player's Lounge I've ever been in. The Seminoles have been pouring some cash into high-level improvements at their properties lately, which brings me to my second favorite subject -- Casino Shitters, and I gotta say that the mens' room in the Tampa Hard Rock High Limit Area is second only to the shitters at the now-closed Revel, which was the most gorgeous throne room I've ever seen.

"Casino Shitters, and I gotta say that the mens' room in the Tampa Hard Rock High Limit Area is second only to the shitters at the now-closed Revel, which was the most gorgeous throne room I've ever seen. " @noleman The woman's room in the HL is gorgeous as well! They have free tubes of hand lotion, hand gel and something else I can't remember. I sometimes will play only a few dollars in there just to use the restroom. Hahahahaha
Darn it! I coulda flashed my previously considered useless MLife Gold card at Borgata if I had only been able to go to AC. I bet that option won't last long!
You have to love a forum where discussion of shitters is so matter of fact. Hmmm, maybe we should start a special thread for best casino shitters!!
I call dibs on this. I will be doing reviews starting with my trip to Borgata this weekend. Sample from my potty journal is below (I don't really keep a potty journal, but I might start now):
South Point Casino, Las Vegas
Bathroom used: Men's Room adjacent to Sport's Book 2:40 pm, Tuesday Feb. 10th.
Overall Impression: While the restrooms were clean and well lit, they were reminiscent of the bathrooms in a hospital, though the hand rails available in each stall were a nice addition to prevent "blast off" when going number 2. Single ply paper definitely a minus. Otherwise, nothing special here. 4 Stars (out of Possible 7 Stars)
Cleanliness: 6 Stars (well stocked dispensers, no odor (before visit), floors clean of stains and paper products)
Convenience: 4 Stars (why does every stall have to be a handi-stall)
Larry Craig Factor: 7 stars (plenty of room for persons with a wide stance, no splashback from toilet)
Signage: 2 Stars (very little casino floor signage for restroom locations)
Paper Quality: 1 star (what kind of sadist puts single ply in the shitter?)
Privacy: 1 stars (no dividers between the urinals bad for the pee shy, also gaps in the stall doors big enough to glory hole)
Safety: 5 stars (Restrooms are adjacent to security desk and lack of doors deter mugging)
OMG, I got to get back to work, but this got me laughing so hard, I need to do a real review.
