That’s great. I was at the Encore Casino a few weeks back and asked to use the business center to jump on a meeting. They charge a dollar a minute to sit down in an area not even 1/2 as nice.

Every time I hear about that place I want to visit it even less.

The restaurants are pretty good (specifically Rare / Cheese Meets Wine), parking and EV charging is free, and they are decent at bringing you a drink if you're sitting around gambling almost nothing for a while. The view from the hotel isn't anything to write home about, but the rooms are nice enough.

I don't go very often, but it seems perfectly fine to me. I'd probably go to my car to hop on a meeting.

Free parking is unheard of and worth a visit alone.

They also have the water taxi to/from Long Wharf. I haven't used it, but it seems like you could park there and enjoy a free ride. Beats parking on the orange line and riding in if you're near the casino and not on a tight schedule.

Every casino I've been to has free parking. Casinos have a lot of little perks like that because they are fleecing you.

Oh 1000%. “Free parking is unheard of in Boston” is probably a better way to phrase that. And yes, I know it’s Everett.

Rare better be good it costs like $200 to get two steaks.

It is really good. Even the $51 flat iron is solid. An inexpensive meal it is not.
