MGM Springfield has gotten more realistic on table minimums, and we hope Encore-Boston does as well.

Not unlike the opening week of MGM Springfield, the excitement remains high, but unfortunately so did the table minimums. It's still the first week it's open, so the novelty of the new casino has not yet worn off. We had dinner at home after work and literally popped over for a few minutes. After the initial excitement on opening day, we came back for a quick visit on Tuesday night. A casino isn't worth much without good table play. It was built in the lavish style of other Wynn casinos, but we don't go to the casino just to look at it.

There is no doubt that the new Encore is a beautiful facility. We were even two of the first ten or so folks to enter the casino on opening day, Sunday, 6/23/19. My wife and I were very excited about the new Encore Boston, because it is about 15 minutes from our home on the north shore of Boston. We look at gambling as entertainment and play regularly. We've actually been comp'd rooms at Wynn Las Vegas twice in the last six months or so, as recently as our stay in early May, 2019. We are long time diamond status with Caesars-Harrahs and go to Vegas four times a year for over 15+ years now, along with multiple trips to New Orleans, Atlantic City, and locally - Foxwoods, MGM Springfield and Twin Rivers quite a few times each year.

Jardin puts an emphasis on using only the freshest, highest quality produce to craft every dish.My wife and I are in our late fifties and enjoy gambling. The menu has a little something for everyone, with indulgent brunch options and lighter, health-conscious selections. Jardin offers dining in an airy conservatory that overlooks the main pool. The menu at Terrace Point Cafe has an impressive number of vegetarian and vegan options available. Terrace Pointe Cafe has breakfast, brunch, and lunch items with al fresco dining on the poolside patio. Tableau is conveniently located close to the Wynn Tower Suites, but anyone is welcome to order poolside or dine in. Tableau specializes in breakfast, lunch, and brunch with a special menu that you can enjoy without leaving the pool deck. There is also a cabana bar that anyone at the pool can utilize for a quick drink without leaving the pool area. This can include anything from a bottle of champagne to soft drinks, liquor, and more. For cabana and daybed guests, you can order drink service to be brought to you. There a multiple options for poolside dining at Wynn Las Vegas.
