There is no review, unfortunately. Neither her management nor MGM Grand at Foxwoods would let us in to see her performance. That means it's up to you, Celine fans, to recap the concert for the faithful who couldn't make it (or afford it). So, citizen reviewers, please post your thoughts on the show in the comments section below. ...

Business owners and residents in Chinatown and the surrounding areas of Center City are concerned about the new proposed Foxwoods Casino  development in Center City Philadelphia.  I received an email from a good friend who owns a business in the area alerting me to a Town Hall meeting to dicsuss those concerns.  The information is as follows: There will be a town meeting next Thursday, Oct 9th, 7pm at the Holy Redeemer Church regarding the proposed Foxwoods casino at the Gallery.  City and State Representatives will be on hand to discuss and answer questions and concerns regarding the proposed casino.  I urge you to please come and attend the meeting next Thursday, as a casino will most certainly have a negative impact on the Chinatown community.  Many of the concerns include: traffic, parking, crime, and especially the quality of life and the negative social and moral impact in our community.  Holy Redeemer Church is located on 10th and Vine Streets and you are allowed to park in their parking lot for this meeting. Personally, I think there has to many other better locations for this proposed casino than right on top of the Gallery Shopping Mall in an already congested area of the city.  Perhaps the city of Philadelphia already has too many other planned casino developments and is running out of locations?  Anyone seeking more information or wishes to voice their concerns should plan on attending the meeting. ...

Just four months after opening a major expansion, the owners of the Foxwoods Resort Casino announced plans Tuesday to cut about 6 percent of their work force because of the weak economy. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which employs nearly 11,000 workers at Foxwoods, said the 700 job cuts will be in addition to just under 200 announced in June and will come over the next few weeks. They will affect management and staff positions across the board, tribal officials said. Each affected employee will receive medical benefits and two weeks pay for each year of service up to 26 weeks total, tribal officials said. Michael Thomas, the trial council chairman, says the weak economy has hurt the casino’s revenue. "Although it has taken a few months, the recession’s impact can now be clearly seen in our industry," Thomas said. "Unfortunately, the time has arrived when we must face the difficult decision and align our payroll costs with current revenue levels." The decision of the tribal council is designed to ensure the health and vibrancy of the tribe and its businesses for the long term, Thomas said. In May, Foxwoods opened its MGM Grand expansion. The 30-story, two-million-square-foot property includes a new Last week, the state’s other tribal The Mohegan Tribal Council decided to suspend construction of a 39-story hotel, a House of Blues music hall, a spa and additional retail and restaurant space, which were to be completed by th ...

Slot machines could someday be ringing a few blocks from the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the spot where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. After facing opposition at its original site, a development group led by Foxwoods said Wednesday it’s considering building its $670 million slots parlor at a downtown location just a few blocks west of Philadelphia’s historic neighborhood. Michael Thomas, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe, is looking into building the casino at a downtown mall called The Gallery at Market East. Thomas said his group is talking to the company that owns The Gallery and looking at a 300,000 square-foot area a few blocks down the street from where Jefferson wrote the Declaration, and where Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell draw hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. “This is a serious proposal that will get serious consideration,” Mayor Michael Nutter said. If the site is chosen, he said, the city would ensure there would be no garish signs or lighting that would mar the historic area. “There’s a fair amount of separation,” Nutter said. “Unless you know it’s there, you won’t know it’s there.” If the casinos open, Philadelphia would become the nation’s largest city with casino gambling. The state now has seven casinos open, including Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs outside of Wilkes-Barre, and more than 16,800 slot machines in operation. Foxwoods’ decision brought opposition f ...
