Wynn Resorts is also developing a $1.6 billion resort casino in Everett, a city just north of Boston, and Penn National Gaming is spending $225 million to expand the Plainridge harness racing track in Plainville into a slots parlor. In some states, like Michigan and New Jersey, phone and email systems were also shut down, or are currently inactive. MGM Resorts International, the parent company of the impacted casinos, acknowledged the issues at its properties on Monday.

The project is one of three licensed by the state so far. MGM properties in Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Nevada and Ohio have been impacted. The “Retail Block” will include a bowling alley, retail and restaurant space and a cinema. Plans call for a “Casino Block” offering 3,000 slot machines and 75 gambling tables, a 250-room hotel and shopping, dining, meeting and office space and residential apartments. From fine dining and authentic Italian coastal cuisine to the ultimate sports bar or an elegant restaurant hall, youll find something to please any palate. The project, which spans roughly 14.5 acres, is being built along Main Street in the city’s downtown and contains a mix of properties included on the National Register of Historic Places. MGM Springfield is bringing Vegas-level cuisine right to your door. The environmental study runs more than 700 pages and focuses on the project’s effect on city and regional assets, from traffic and transit systems to water and sewer infrastructure and historic buildings.

“For almost three years we have been preparing to put shovels in the ground, and as of now we are on track, and moving full steam ahead,” said Carole Brennan, MGM Springfield spokeswoman.
