Visitors to the resort casino will be greeted by the iconic signature MGM Lion, all 6 feet, 600 lbs of him. Not your average resort casino, MGM Springfield pays homage to the old while mixing in industrial-chic and a bit of whimsy. The opening of the resort that covers 14 acres was the culmination of a process that began seven years ago when the Expanded Gaming Act was passed in 2011 and gambling was legalized in the Commonwealth.
The state of Massachusetts' first integrated luxury resort and entertainment destination, MGM Springfield opened on Friday, August 24, 2018, in the city that sits on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River.
