Not a lot of faith....

Judging by the voting on this week's poll, the majority of folks don't think there's going to be a gathering around the bargaining table between Foxwoods and its dealers.

With the tribe and the casino looking for ways to cut costs, it would be interesting to know just how much this nearly year-long battle against the unions has cost the Mashantucket Pequots and Foxwoods....

In other news, I've been zooming around the region the past few weekends (hey, if gas is going to be gone sooner than later, better make these last trips good, right?) and, is it just me, or are there fewer casino billboards coming north on I-95 than, say, two years ago at this time?

Back then, on a drive from my lovely-lovely digs in the capital of Taxation Without Representation to visit friends in New London, I was bombarded by billboards for musical acts coming to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods as soon as I was north of New York City. These days, not so much.

How about you? You notice any changes in how the casinos are doing business these days?
