Couple of treadmills.

An exercise bike.

An aerobic elliptical machine.

Minimal resistance equipment - like a scaled down universal.

A televison.

Pool and hot tub are adjacent.

The fitness area is humid as all hell - which is good if you're looking for a soaking sweat during cardio.

My dad gets comped rooms. If he books a room, could I show up and use the room without him being there?

Yes, pretty much all of the MA casino discussion has been taking place here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/20...ssion-1087641/

I really don't think that is true.

There was a weekend some time ago (last year?) where they had a makeshift pawn shop going, where you could buy gold/silver with comps (at a ridiculous exchange rate obv). Could be that.

First time back recently in years and the casino above the poker room is closed midweek now. Probably not a good sign. Also I remember some place to eat in the poker room which looks closed and nothign in its place

Where did you hear that?

I had heard that myself. I don't recall my source, but I did mention it here in June:

I've since talked to some employees there and apparently it's completely false.

played last night and all the negative nellies were predicting foxwoods demise
despite some flaws its still a damn good room and IMHO reports of its death are greatly exaggerated
the woods should hire a wall streeet turn around specialist better manage debt
and syndicate a new reality show

Was 2500 buyin. When they started the table they were picking limits and buy-in and agreed at 5000. Today was running at 2500 buyin. 6-7 handed. Game was on table 80 by the cage.

Considering playing the $100K mini-series this weekend. Can anyone point me to a detailed structure sheet? I've tried in vain to find one. At the very least, does anyone know what level they go up to on Day 1 before breaking for the night? Thank you.

I did as well and they told me that it was going. But they also said they were moving. Neither has happened yet so who knows..
