Is MGM Casino in Massachusetts Open?

The MGM Casino in Massachusetts is not currently open. The casino was originally slated to open in late 2018, but construction delays and other issues pushed the opening date back to 2019.

MGM has not yet announced an official opening date for the casino, but it is expected to open sometime in the summer of 2019.

MGM is one of the largest casino operators in the world, and the company is no stranger to Massachusetts. MGM already operates a successful casino in Springfield, and the company was one of the leading contenders for the lone casino license in Boston.

However, despite its experience and success in other parts of the state, MGM has run into a number of issues with its planned casino in Everett.

PRO TIP:MGM Springfield, Massachusetts’ first Las Vegas-style casino, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All visitors to the casino must abide by the safety protocols put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The most significant issue has been construction delays. The casino was originally supposed to be built on land owned by Wynn Resorts, but that deal fell apart amid legal disputes.

MGM then bought land from another developer, but that deal also ran into legal trouble. As a result, construction on the casino has been delayed for more than a year.

In addition to construction delays, MGM has also been embroiled in a number of financial controversies. The company was accused of using shell companies to hide its ownership stake in the casino, and it was also accused of inflating the value of the property in order to secure tax breaks from the city of Everett.

Despite all of these issues, MGM remains committed to opening its Everett casino. The company has already poured millions of dollars into the project, and it is expected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the state once it opens.
