    I was there twice within the last 3 months and did not experience any issues with security. Last time we were there, I had a beer in my hand and I wanted to go off the casino floor to go the restroom. I asked the guard at the entrance if I could take the beer off the floor and he said, "Sure, no problem." No ID check, no hassle, nothing. As far as the food goes, we don't eat at the restaurants. We typically eat at the South End Market food court. The food there is not bad - not great, but not bad. The cookies at the seafood place are really good and a good value. I believe we ate once at TAP, but that was pre-COVID. I can't remember whether it was any good. The rooms ARE great. The used to have a little Starbucks one-cup coffee station in one of the alcoves on one of the floors, but they took that out. I enjoy sitting at the long bar and playing video poker. You drink for free if you are playing and the servers are super nice. The only problem is, the spots are usually all taken unless you get there early. It's pretty clean. I'm not crazy about having to leave the floor to go to the restroom (there is a wrought-iron sort of railing around the casino floor, so you have to enter the floor through one of the breaks in the railing along the way).

      I agree Gaffney. Red Rose is THE restaurant in the area. Very casual typical italian restaurant but great service. It’s one of the most popular restaurants in Springfield… but, it is not part of MGM. Macho Taco is garbage.

    Next time you want to go to Red Rose. It has the best Itialian food in the area. It is located just outside the MGM Plaza. Stay away from Noodles. I won't get into the details, but I had a really bad experience with the Mongolian Beef.

    One of reasons they are tough with security is because they got caught having minors on the casino floor. Ther also fights in the casino. If your looking for a nice casino try Oxfords Casinio in Oxford Maine. I never stayed at the hotel,but the casino is nice and the oxford pub has the best Angus burger and fries i have ever had. It's almost worth the trip from Springfield to Oxford just for the burger;)

  • @Carmenzeta1970
    @Carmenzeta1970 11 місяців тому +6

    The casino is built in a very bad area of Springfield that’s why security is the way they are. Too much riff raff in that part of town. The casino isn’t worth going to if you compare it to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun.

    I enjoyed Bill's Diner & Macho Taco
    I also experienced where i was charged a late fee and deposit. I was short and had to wait til the morning to transfer money from my savings and approve my transfer. I asked if i can do a late stay and they barely wanted to and i was up in the casino for nearly twelve hours. I ended up going to the gas station and getting premade breakfast and lunch when i checked out since the spa was closed. Omg the pool vibe was nice and I personally loved the lobby.

We talked about going to MGM but I think you changed my mind lol We do have family up that way so we'd have a place to stay and I sure wouldn't eat there now. I Might go there just for the casino, and that is "Might Go There" I'll go to Foxwoods, Twin River, or Newport first.

      This isn’t exactly a spot on review. I love 20 mins from it. If you enjoy a smaller casino it feels brand new inside. Always switching new slot games, nice drink service(if your into drinking), the security isn’t the best but not really that invasive like he mentioned just doing the job, Taps is the goto spot. Or if you aren’t from the area, Red Rose is literally right outside across from that castle looking building. Such good Italian food. Been there for over 30+ years local favorite in Western Ma area. His hotel review is nice. I agree costa sucks you shouldn’t experience any bad food at casinos but if you don’t live far far away it’s a nice day trip or to spend a night

    They put in springfield in a bad part of town and the only good thing is its right by the highway!! Theres a movie theater but everything in the casino to eat at is very expensive!! They have free drinks and coffee and soda! Its not very big and they tried to keep it quiet about a guy getting shot to death by the police when he got in a fight at a craps table at 2 in the morning after he ran out of the casino!! If you dont mind driving a little bit foxwoods and mohegan sun offer more and then theres twin rivers right outside of providence ri. Then theres the hacking of mgm and you know they lost a bunch of money and people are saying ever sence that they are not paying out i much!!

They didn't check my ID or anything and I didn't try the food. But, like I said the city itself is pretty much a pit. Which is sad. 😢
