Maybe it's the passing of two weeks already, or maybe the news story last week that MGM has pushed Foxwoods out of its prime advertising billboard perch at Fenway Park, but I am feeling more confident than ever that there's no bringing the Vegas giant together with the Connecticut tribes for a deal that would amicably carve up the gambling pie here.
I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the governor, who said give him a few weeks to see if he might be able to announce a tribal–MGM deal. Ned Lamont's surprise suggestion two weeks ago, that MGM and the Mohegans and Mashantucket Pequots might come to agreement about the future of Connecticut gambling, the prospects of such a deal seem dimmer than ever.
