May 18 appears to be the opening date for the MGM Grand at Foxwoods site, based on a countdown clock running on the casino's Web site this morning. But no official announcement has been made by the Mashantucket Pequots.
The $700 million expansion will add a casino, 26-story hotel, 4,000-seat theater as well as dining and shopping to southeastern Connecticut.
Mohegan Sun, run by the Mohegan tribe, is also growing. It's $925 million Project Horizon expansion includes the Casino of the Wind, scheduled to open in the fall, as well as a second hotel tower, dining, shopping and entertainment facilities opening in stages through 2010.
(Bonus points to anyone who correctly guesses why this is the ONLY weekend in May I wished they weren't opening.)
