In the middle of our mid-winter visit to my friend’s part-time place at Rehoboth Beach, we decided to take a quick side trip.

So we drove aboard the ferry at Lewes, Delaware, for a 90-minute ride and then drove off at Cape May, New Jersey.

Then we continued for another 45 minutes on to Atlantic City, where Caesars comped us a top-floor room with a nice view of the beach.

Then we headed to Borgata for dinner. We’d looked into staying there, but Caesars comped us and Borgata didn’t, so that was that.

As it turned out, our driver also works there as high-limit Black Jack dealer. But we weren’t at Borgata to play Black Jack, high- or low-limit; we were there to try izakaya’s Monday Menu.

The Spa is pretty minimal compared with some of its Las Vegas cousins, but there are two things I love about it. First is the big overflowing hot tub.
