Want to make sure your path to the slots is streamlined? Read on. For months, executives have been hard at work devising a strategy to get prospective patrons to the Encore’s doors, and at a press conference Wednesday, they shared all the details of this transportation plan. While it seems like the cursive “Encore” at the top of the gigantic gambling palace is visible from basically everywhere in the Greater Boston area, actually getting to the casino, located in Everett, is no small feat.

Im not a gambler, but to the tourists that are this is one more thing to enjoy during your stay.At long last, the 210,000 square foot Encore Boston Harbor is scheduled to open this Sunday, June 23 at 10 a.m. This makes it MUCH easier to not only get to the city from the casino, but to get to the casino from the city. Its a pretty unique casino experience for New England and really almost anywhere. With quick access to downtown via the orange line and water taxi it will be easy to get to and from which is important and makes it more desirable as part of Boston overall.

This really is going to be a great experience for people to go to a casino that is near a major city with all that entails. This is beneficial to Everett and Somerville, Assembly and Encore, and the people going to the casino or staying at the hotel. So now when you stay there your not just trapped on the casino floor or hotel room youll have a nice little downtown area close by to get out and walk around in and explore and enjoy your time here plus youre next to the river, water taxi, and orange line to easily get downtown. Encore is a nice upscale hotel to stay at when visiting Boston with upscale dining, high profile rooms, luxury shopping, a club, ballroom, gambling floor etc. Plus it will tie into Assembly, which imo is beneficial to both the casino and Assembly/Somerville.Īssembly should see MUCH more foot traffic from casino patrons who want to get out of the building and walk around, go to a restaurant, mingle, catch a movie, or even visit lego land etc. It means you can also easily walk there from Somerville. Not only does it become transit accessible which is HUGE, but there will be less traffic on city streets too when people can take the exit off 93 right into Assembly and use one of the billion parking garages/parking lots there that have tons of capacity.

^ Wow great news, that was a major missing link that was going to be a disaster if nothing was built.
