MGM partnered with the Mashentucket Pequots (the tribe that owns Foxwoods) to open a new hotel/casino right next door. It's opening May 18th. Doubtful there will be a new poker room...I have a feeling this is going to be more along the lines of the Venetian/Palazzo in Vegas. But still, exciting.
I hope this doesn't make traffic on Rt. 2 completely unbearable.
Edited to add:
Just read on the FARGO mailing list that the new Mohegan Sun poker room is scheduled to open 8/29. Woo-hoo! I've never been to Mohegan Sun before (why would I go somewhere without poker?), but it is actually slightly closer to my parents' house than Foxwoods and supposedly nicer (though what my relatives' basis for a casino being nicer is, I don't know).
I HOPE THE MGM GIVES OUT MORE JACKPOTS THAN FOXWOOD. NEVER MIND JACKPOTS, A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS ONCE IN A WHILE ON THE SLOTS SO YOU CAN PLAY ALITTLE LONGER. MONEY GOES TOO FAST AT FOXWOOD SINCE ALL THIS ADDING ON. LATELY WE GO TO MOHEGAN BUT WE USE TO REALLY INJOY FOXWOOD. GIVE US A REASON TO COME BACK.
