    I just arrived to check out this property that opened less than 24 hours ago. I will be here for 24 hours. That is more than enough time to do some damage (either to Encore or to my bankroll).

    The drive from Logan Boston Int’l wasn’t as bad as I expected and things seem very quiet so far on property. I haven’t checked out the casino floor yet, however.

    The room smells “new”.

    I love that the bathroom has a chair in it. Enjoy your trip!

    Enjoy you visit. The view is not Boston Harbor. More like the Mystic river.

    Good luck! Hope the damage is to the Encore! The room reminds me of Wynn rooms in Vegas. Look forward to your thoughts on the property as my husbands main office is there and it will give me a reason to travel along.

    Final tally:
    Encore Boston Harbor - 1
    Vegasmeister’s Bankroll - 0

    (Probably more like a final score of 10-0 where the mercy rule is used)


    Here are a few random thoughts:
    Lots of growing pains with this property. Big doses of the blind leading the blind. Lots of employees learning on the fly. It’s worth checking out if you are in the area. The casino floor got busier and busier as the day went on. Traffic coming in from Boston looks like a nightmare, but that might just be the normal workday 5pm rush hour traffic.

    Sorry, the gambol wasn’t kind.

    I visited one of our locals on opening day, Lone Butte, just to say I’ve been to a casino on opening day. It was so busy and crowded, one had to wait to get on a machine. Afterward, I said to myself, once is enough.

    RARE Steakhouse -

    It’s interesting that I couldn’t get a 6pm reservation and had to settle for a 6:15pm reservation since the restaurant is 90% empty

    Prices are Vegas/SW Steakhouse prices (high).

    Oyster chowder was good. Almost like a clam chowder with smoked oysters. They put the four or five ingredients in a bowl and then just pour the cream over it in front of you.

    The crab cake was just so-so.

    It's a bad location to drive to unless you live N or NE of the city (not to mention the parking fee). Daytrippers would probably do a 10:00am - 2:00pm thing if they want to drive. There are a lot of options other than driving, remains to be seen how much they'll be used

    Thank you for posting this! I have a few weeks to decide if this is where I’m going to spend my birthday.

    Were the HL salons open? Host said they were accessible but saw some people on opening day say it was limited access. Thanks for posting the pictures!
