I prefer brick and mortar locations for two reasons. Clearly, MGM doesn’t want to waste floor space on something that will soon be done using sportsbook apps. The sportsbook is wedged into a corner and is closet space compared to the palaces in Las Vegas. I stopped at a roulette wheel and watched the tiny white pill bounce and land on 12 red and not Carlton Fisk’s number 27. Inside, I asked how to find the sportsbook and a member of the floor staff pointed past the slot machines, table games and cashiers windows. Ireland Courthouse where I once saw a man walk through the metal detector wearing a T-shirt that said I didn’t do it.Ī state police car is always parked outside the casino as a reminder for patrons to behave themselves.
The casino is located across from the oddly designed Roderick L. Near Symphony Hall, people were gathered around a pastor dressed in cleric robes who nodded to a guitarist and everyone sang Amazing Grace.
Metered parking was free on Sundays so I locked up the car and walked from Liberty Street to the MGM Casino through Union Station where a locomotive huffed overhead like a somnolent beast.
