The Wynn Resorts endured controversy in the year and a half leading up to the opening. There is certainly lots of excitement, but it didn’t come without controversy.

Encore Boston Harbor cost $2.6 billion and is bringing a level of luxury never before seen in the area! The 33-acre property also includes a hotel, a vibrant array of dining and nightlife options, boutique shops, conference rooms, a spa, a riverside park, and even an 11,000-jewel-embedded carousel. Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox said a total of 7,400 construction workers built the resort in less than three years. The 33-acre waterfront development involved an environmental cleanup of a former chemical plant site and is one of the biggest private developments in state history. Glitz and glamour are taking over a mainly industrial waterfront, which is home to a subway train repair yard, a water and sewer agency facility and a power plant. The sparkly, gambling, hotel and entertainment complex, is bringing the energy and vibe of Las Vegas opulence just over the Boston city line into Everett, MA. The highly anticipated and sometimes controversial casino is ready for business. It’s finally here! The Encore Boston Harbor is opening its doors and they’re not closing.
