Does anyone believe a grinder will be happy coming in and paying those room rates? Like I said, they are limiting themselves to locals that will drive in, go home and sleep in their own beds. They want the rooms for the slot and pit suckers, which is the fiscally correct move. I don't blame them. I'm sure FW loves the rates they charge at Encore.
If you pay $900 a night to stay on-site, that’s a -EV play. Boston is one of the top tourist destinations in the US and has an enormous amount of other places to stay all pretty close together. Try a place in Boston Harbor and take a boat to the casino.
It also has a lot of “locals,” as you insist on calling the residents of one of the top 10 metro areas in America. Between affluent “locals,” champion pro athletes (from the top teams in the world), year-round international tourists, college kids from around the globe, and “less-locals” from the surrounding 5 NE states there are more than enough folks to support a high-end casino/resort.
Stick to Hammond if that’s not up to snuff.
