From The Boston Globe:
Two in Secret Negotiations About Billion-Dollar Casino Near Foxborough
Robert Kraft, one of the state’s most powerful businessmen, is in negotiations with one of Las Vegas’ biggest players, Steve Wynn, to propose a $1 billion casino near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, according to two people within the industry who are familiar with the talks. The destination resort casino would be located on 200 acres across from the stadium and the Patriot Place mall. The gambling facility would be part of a larger complex that would also include a hotel, retail, restaurants, and large entertainment facilities. While the deal has not been completed, the Krafts and Wynn, in secret negotiations for weeks, had hoped to reveal their plans with a major announcement in the next few days. Wynn is expected to be Kraft’s special guest at the game between the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette this Sunday. Click here for the full story.
