EVERETT, Massachusetts — (Associated Press) - Las Vegas casino operator Steve Wynn has unveiled an artist's rendering of a $1.2 billion proposed resort casino in Everett.
The rendering shows a high-rise building on the banks of the Mystic River, connected to what appear to be restaurants and retail stores along a riverwalk.
Wynn is proposing the complex on 37 acres of land at the site of a former chemical plant in Everett.
Wynn dropped an earlier proposal to build a casino in Foxborough after opposition in the town.
The Suffolk Downs race track in East Boston and a Milford group are also competing for the sole eastern Massachusetts resort casino license.
Wednesday's event was scheduled following a teleconference last week in which Everett residents said they were eager to see what the casino would look like.
