However, Rosie Salisbury, a spokesperson for Encore, said the free parking incentive has been successful, and the gambling giant plans to offer more perks for customers enrolled in its loyalty program. The casino transformed a polluted empty lot into a major destination, but the resulting traffic that residents of Charlestown feared hasn’t quite materialized. Heading into the colder months, the ferry service will also start a couple hours later in the day, with the first runs setting off at 11:45 a.m. With the addition of the East Boston stop, Encore’s boats will run along two routes every 30 to 35 minutes rather than the one route with service every 20 to 30 minutes. The new East Boston stop will pick up near The Eddy, a luxury housing development that advertises studio apartments starting at $2,000 per month. So for anyone planning to dine at the casino, the boat trip there and back would be essentially free. The cost of traveling to the casino will remain $7, but patrons will receive a $7 food and beverage credit in exchange, and the boat trip back from the casino will be free of charge. On Monday, Encore announced it would add new ferry service to East Boston, and deeply discount travel aboard its fleet of vessels, which look more like sleek motor yachts than traditional ferries. When it first opened, Encore offered its own maritime travel service for $7 each way to and from the casino’s pier on the Mystic River to locations in Boston on the harbor.

Red Card members who want to reserve will need to pay the regular $7 fare. Seats aren’t guaranteed for travelers taking advantage of the complimentary bus service. “We hope this continues to show our patrons how thankful we are to be Greater Boston’s hometown casino.”Ĭustomers who sign up for Wynn’s Red Card loyalty program will now be able to take free buses to the casino to and from three Massachusetts locations – Millbury, Rockland, and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough –as well as Londonderry, New Hampshire. “Due to the incredible success we’ve seen with our free self-parking, we have decided to expand our complimentary offerings to our mass transit options as well,” Gullbrants said in a statement Monday.
