New England Casino Lounges & Nightclubs

Leave a comment

New England Casinos offer large venues for the best entertainment in the country. But, don’t forget the New England Casino Lounges & Nightclubs (except Oxford Casino in Maine) as well. The diversity of bars, lounges and smaller stages provides something for everyone.

So, check out the smaller venues of nightlife.  From high energy EDM to laid back duos, you’ll find it all.

While this casino thing is fairly new in the Pilgrim State, Plainridge Park has gotten into a successful rhythm and rotation. Now, Encore raises the nightclub bar to compete with an already vibrant club scene in Boston.

  • Encore Boston Harbor Nightlife – Memoire – “unparalleled nightlife fantasy experience with top-tier DJ talent and a sophisticated environment.”
  • MGM Springfield – Commonwealth Bar & Lounge
  • Plainridge Park Casino – the Revolution Lounge offers entertainment on the weekends. The Loft presents a few comedic and musical performances throughout each month.

Both tribal casinos tweak their clubs and lounges.  For example, Mohegan Sun’s closed Myst AND the Casino of the Winds. Consequently, they added nouvelle.  Shrine at Foxwoods is the most famous club in New England since it opened when MGM partnered with Foxwoods.  And where can you see name entertainment for free like The Wolf Den.  The answer is – nowhere.

Although the Lighthouse Lounge has been under the radar for years, it offers excellent and similar entertainment to Mohegan’s Wolf Den – minus the headliners.

  • Tiverton offers duos almost every weekend.  Click HERE for schedule.
  • Twin River Casino Lighthouse Lounge – right in the middle of the downstairs casino.  Shipyard Pub – Upstairs in Non-smoking.
  • Tiverton Casino – Center Bar

So, have a relaxing night of fun and drinks at these smaller stages. Or dress to nines for that high energy night club experience.  Either way, New England and small venue entertainment is waiting for you.

Great August Promotions in New England’s Casinos

Leave a comment

We’re baaaa-ack!  It’s always great to return from vacation to find Great August Promotions in New England’s Casinos still. There’s nothing like a trip to Las Vegas to cleanse the New England casino pallet.  In truth, we also went to support our CT Sun – our WNBA basketball team who’s home is Mohegan Sun Arena.  Although the Sun lost, it was a great game played at the Mandalay Bay Event Center.

The best part about the women who play on this team is how personable they are. Bert & I were able to meet nine different players in the casino, being very careful not to appear as stalkers.  In addition, a few really showed us some love by spending a few minutes chatting – JJ, Courtney, Jasmine and company, thank you for making our Las Vegas Vacation the best ever.

If you haven’t attended a game yet, then you have no idea how exciting it is. In addition, they have been one of the top two teams in record and power rankings in the WNBA ALL SEASON. Check out the events posted below to plan the next game.  Time is running. The regular season ends in two weeks!  CT Sun Schedule

Back to Great Promotions in New England’s Casinos for August – Let NETG show you what’s left in promos this month. In addition, you will find the remnants of scheduled events and concerts.  Don’t forget the great Comedy offerings in our New England Casinos as well as Thrill Rides at Foxwoods.

Mornings In Casinos is the Best for Me

2 Comments

Here’s a retread, one of my first posts – updated.  It was true then, and it’s true now. I just want to reflect on why I like mornings for gambling, or at casinos in general. I can hear Linus singing “Happiness” at the end of the first Peanuts Casino animation, coming soon.  “Mornings In Casinos is the Best for Me…..”

serenity in an empty casino😊

  • First and foremost – There’s nobody there!  I’m talking 6:00 am. I mean, to hop to any machine, play a little BJ, hit a whole row of Video Poker – it’s just the best. And the quiet is just surreal.  The few people who are there either just got up or are looking for breakfast somewhere – or asleep on a machine!
  • Beverage service – nothing like black coffee and all the water you want – and not having to wait long to get it.
  • Smoke – you can just feel the last remnant of it being cleared before the weekend crowds appear.  It’s the crispest air you’ll find at a casino (if anyone can refer to casino air as crisp?)
  • Cleanliness – Machines are wiped down, and there aren’t as many machines to sit down at where there are ashes all over and/or drink glasses not picked up.
  • If it’s a local casino, I get to to leave before the buses and weekend crowds arrive, and I still have the rest of the day to myself.
  • Two additions from our friend Mike T. – 1) No machine hoggers, and 2) not a lot of machine slappers…..if any!

Viva Las Vegas in the Morning

  • It’s also a great time to people watch the few people up.  Ah, that walk of shame and the business girls parade after their night shift.
  • The action is still going, but still not busy.
  • A healthy walk outside in the morning to start your day. We visit usually in July and August and it gets hot!  A walk down Las Vegas Boulevard without mosiers, huskers and time share hawkers is devine in the cool of the morning.

Serenity now? Yes, in the morning. Keep Calm and Gamble in the morning.
