I know this is an extremely bad neighborhood, but thought that the casino would be well secured and supervised, but it is not. To begin with I did give it a good try - I went on four different occasions at different times during the day and night to check out the situation.

I have been going to Foxwoods and Mohegan since the first day they both opened and the smoke (and smell) is unbelievable if you are a non smoker. However, the only thing I can say on the plus side is that it is smoke free. Like everyone else, I was excited to go to the new casino as it would save about an hour drive time off going to the Connecticut casinos. I see this place not meeting expectations once the novelty factor wears off.' If you want to actually win a few bucks, then stick to the Connecticut casinos and steer clear of this rip-off joint. If you want to see some nice architecture while helping to pay down the massive MGM corporate debt by making 'donations', then by all means go waste your time and money at this casino. Foxwoods also has approximately four times as much gaming space, and patrons who actually seem to be enjoying themselves. Foxwoods also pays 3 to 2 on all their blackjack tables and has limits as low as 10 dollars midweek. By comparison I saw three separate machines at Foxwoods pay out in the 2000 to 3000 dollar range in the same time span last Friday night. A typical bonus round paid 20 to 30 dollars. I walked around and watched people playing slots for about 15 minutes. Their slot machines are tight and don't pay out. If you don't know what this means, just trust me when I say that you shouldn't be playing them. They have a few 15 dollar tables but they only pay 6 to 5. If you don't want to be ripped off by 6 to 5 blackjack then you've got to bet at least 25 a hand to get to play the 3 to 2 tables. If you play one of their casinos, you are basically accepting their terrible odds so they can help pay down their massive corporate debt. They went on a buying binge of casinos in the last 20 years and then got wiped out in the 2008 recession. Keep in mind that MGM is the same evil empire that introduced 6 to 5 blackjack and paid parking on the Vegas strip. If you want to try and actually win some money while gambling, then stay away. So if you want to spend a lot of money for a nice hotel room, then this is the place for you. I didn't stay in the hotel but I'm sure the rooms are luxurious. They also seem to have a lot of food options. 'I give them two stars because the architecture is nice, the place is clean, and the employees seem polite.
