Downtown Everett is looking all cleaned up
And it is reported they are seeing to expand gambling operations into the new complex.Wynn Resorts’ newest vision for the company’s land across Broadway from its Encore Boston Harbor casino in Everett includes two hotels with ballrooms, three parking garages, a theater, restaurants, clubs — 1.8 million square feet of development in all.

The casino operator is planning an entertainment complex across the street, and needs the approval of the state’s Gaming Commission to include poker rooms and sports betting there.www.bostonglobe.com
One hotel will have 500 rooms, the other 300 rooms. The existing hotel at the casino has 671 rooms. Probably a safe bet that neither hotel will be taller than Encore Boston.Any idea on how tall the 2 hotels in the 2nd phase will be? Can't find that anywhere.

Heh heh, "Broadway Theatre" is a bit fanciful of a name, evoking visions of a very different Broadway in the theater district of Manhattan, but whatever works is fine. I wish them the best of luck and the City of Everett as well. It's great what they're doing to transform this heavy industrial no-mans land into a vibrant place.Gaming Commission paves way for expansion of Encore Casino

“Encore parent company Wynn Resorts plans to construct a new building on what’s now surface parking lots across Broadway, to host a dedicated poker room, a second sports betting parlor, a relocated nightclub, a theater, parking garage and more. It would be connected to the casino by a pedestrian bridge.
Regulators have ruled that the 2013 vote in Everett green lit gaming not just on the site of the current casino but also on land across the street, where Wynn is planning a sports betting parlor and poker room...”

Wynn Resorts won the auction to buy up the Mystic Generating Station across the street
It would be great if the state could use this opportunity to get rapid transit built into Everett. Sadly, it probably means a lot of new car parking garages.Wynn Resorts buys Everett power plant site. Is a Revs stadium on the Mystic next? - The Boston Globe
The gaming operator closed a deal to acquire 45-acre site across Broadway from its casino, where Everett’s mayor envisions an entertainment district, perhaps anchored by a soccer stadium.www.bostonglobe.com
