The Mashantucket Pequot tribal casino, fresh off renegotiating sizable debt and competing for a gambling license in Massachusetts, now joins the neighboring Mohegan Sun in broadening the casino brand to include shopping at Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods. The outlet center will offer more than 80 stores, including American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein and Nike. The total investment will be $115 million.
Yesterday, the shovels came out, confetti released and Foxwoods celebrated breaking ground. I will cover more on the addition connecting MGM & Foxwoods in another post.
DEALERS GET DEAL RATIFIED
Table game dealers at Foxwoods Resort Casino have won a wage increase and the right to decide how to distribute their tips in a recently ratified contract.
But workers will still have to breathe in gamblers' cigarette smoke.
Because Indian sovereignty prevails, state law banning indoor smoking in most Connecticut businesses doesn't apply to Foxwoods, which is owned by the Mashantucket Pequots. The United Auto Workers union negotiated improved air filters and regular maintenance schedules.
The state negotiated a voluntary agreement with Connecticut's casinos to limit smoking.
The UAW also won an 11.5 percent wage increase over four years and preserved dealers' right to decide how to distribute tips.
