So is this still the case that "MGM backed out of the deal so Foxwoods has full ownership"....or is MGM really it's partner like stated in the article ???

Hell, I can get free stuff if they really do switch loyalty cards and MGM is running the place...

MGM backed out last year.
But I think under the covers they have something to do with this that's for sure. I think higher ups have the hand out or something on this one.
The new MGM is going to be run by Foxwoods employees.

More than likely it's just a matter of Foxwoods paying MGM to use their name.

Foxwoods lays off nearly 200

Foxwoods Resort Casino on Thursday issued layoff notices to slightly fewer than 200 employees, effective immediately. The cuts comprise less than 2 percent of the casino's 10,000-member work force.

Today is a Big Day at Mohegan Sun Casino.
Mohegan Sun Casino will open the Casino of the Wind today.
It will be a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, twenty eight tables games, 650 slot machines, and a forty two table poker room.

Today is going to be Hot with this opening and with a great concert tonight the Beach Boys & I have sand floor tickets.

I had a sneak peak on Friday before the concert.& That was Great
It looks like it's going to be geared for 21 to 50 crowd.

The weekend after this I'm surprising my GF for her Birthday with a couple day trip to foxwoods (sep 19, 20 + 21). This will both of our 1st trips there. I'm 31 and she's 27. Anyone have any good tips for me? We'll primarily be playing table games. Best spot to hit? exciting things to do? places to avoid? any info would be very much appreciated as I was to make this a great weekend for her.

btw, I lived in Vegas for 4 years so I'm plenty familiar with casinos + gaming. Just not at all familiar with the CT casinos.

Hi Darko
Make sure you start off with a Dream Card for comp points at Foxwoods.
At Foxwoods for you I would start off with the MGM Grand because it's more geared I think in your age group.lol.
If you make the trip to the Mohegan Sun please take a look at the new area The Wind Casino.
If i'm down to the casinos that week just for Ha Ha pick up a house phone and have me paged (Say Tom BingoT) and if I am i'll see what I can do for ya.
The next bus trip I have is on Sat Sept 27th but I may go on my own from now until the trip I have.
Can I ask where you from? I'm only an hour away.
If I don't see ya I wish you the best of luck & have a blast.
Tom

I assume the Dream card is their players club? I'll definitely do that. After living in Vegas you know to always sign up for the players club lol.

We're staying at the Cedar Park Inn (free limo to the casino). I just couldnt justify the almost 800.00 staying on the foxwoods site was going to cost for 2 nights. That surprised me, since in vegas they tend to keep the prices down more to encourage people to stay at the casino.

How far is MS from there? And thanks for the MGM tip

And do you work there or something? lol
