Either way I don't really care, I enjoy black jack and I'm glad they are screwing the feds out of taxes.  I fully support anyone who screws uncle sam out of tax money. |
I think the two casinos are quite beneficial to CT regardless of who gets the profits. Its the biggest employer in that part of the state, there are tourist revenues for area camp grounds/restaurants etc, and CT gets part of the slot revenues (I forgot how they worked that out) If they weren't there, now one would care too much about going that way...I think in the end we made out pretty good on that one.
Now I don't gamble but I much prefer the look of Foxwoods to Mohegan. Mohegan just looked like a concrete warehouse before they built that tower a few years ago and Foxwoods just added another hotel to try and keep up with demand. The speed in which they can build these things is staggaring....I guess thats what happens when you don't have to worry about so much federal/state red tape...
