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.

WNBA Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun

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.

NEWS

In Massachusetts

A. Richard Schuster presented Encore Boston Harbor with a class-action suit for cheating last week. However, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission disagreed. Consequently, a preliminary investigation found that Encore Boston Harbor’s casino operations were compliant with state gambling laws. According to CasinoNewsDaily,  “Schuster said that while playing blackjack at the recently opened casino, he expected to be paid out at 3-2 odds. But, he was eventually paid out at 6-5 odds. Usually, traditional blackjack pays players out at 3-2. However, under Massachusetts’ gaming laws local casinos are allowed to pay players at 6-5 odds as long as they fulfill certain other regulatory requirements.”

In Connecticut

John J. James has been named the new President and CEO of Foxwoods Resort Casino. James currently serves as Chief Operating Officer for Morongo Casino Resort & Spa located in Cabazon, California.  He will be taking the helm at Foxwoods beginning August 12. James succeeds Felix D. Rappaport, whose untimely death in June of 2018 left Foxwoods without a CEO.  As a result, Chairman Rodney Butler took over as the resort’s interim CEO shortly thereafter. James has over 25 years of highly successful Native American gaming resort operations experience.  Thus, James is uniquely positioned to lead Foxwoods into its next evolution.
