JIMMY BUFFET'S MARGARITAVILLE AT MOHEGAN SUN

UNCASVILLE, CONNECTICUT, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2008

THIS MORNING AFTER THE NEW MANAGER OF JIMMY BUFFET'S MARGRETAVILLE, SAID A FEW WORDS ABOUT BEING HAPPY TO BE THE NEWEST RESTAURANT IN THE MOHEGAN SUN, HE TURNED THE MICROPHONE OVER TO CHAIRMAN BRUCE "TWO DOGS" BOZSUM, WHO SAID A PRAYER, AND SMUDGE. HE THEN TURNED THE MIKE OVER TO MITCHELL ETESS. HE TOO SAID SOME ENCOURAGING WORDS ABOUT WHAT JIMMY BUFFETS WOULD MEAN TO THE MOHEGAN SUN. EVERYONE TOASTED THE OPENING WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC MARGARETTA'S. THE DOORS WERE THEN OPENED, AND THE CROWD SWARMED IN.

LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW, IT IS REALLY A VERY EXCITING PLACE TO HAVE A DRINK OR SOMETHING TO EAT. IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURES THEY ENLARGE AND YOU WILL GET A BETTER VIEW. THE SETTING IS LIKE BEING ON THE BEACH IN FLORIDA OR THE CARIBBEAN. THE COLORS AND TEXTURES REMIND YOU OF A TROPICAL SETTING. THERE WERE BOOTHS THAT LOOKED LIKE BOATS. A SEA PLANE HANGING FROM THE CEILING. THE BLUE FLOOR LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE WALKING ON WATER. THERE WERE SURFBOARDS THAT BLOCKED OFF WORKERS AREAS FROM THE CUSTOMERS. THEY HAD A DJ UP ON A STAGE ON THE FIRST FLOOR . ON THE SECOND FLOOR WAS A NICE PATIO LOOKING OVER THE THAMES RIVER. THERE WAS ALSO A LITTLE BAR IN THE CORNER, THAT WAS LIKE A BEACHCOMBER BAR.

THE WAITING STAFF, ARE EXPERIENCED WAITERS AND WAITRESSES FROM OTHER RESTAURANTS. TWO WAITRESSES WE KNEW FROM MEETING THEM AT OTHER RESTAURANTS AT THE MOHEGAN SUN. WE WERE TOLD THAT JIMMY BUFFET'S HIRES EXPERIENCED PEOPLE. THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE FUN PEOPLE. THEY ONLY HIRE FUN PEOPLE WHO PROJECT THAT TO THE CUSTOMERS AND EVERYONE (CUSTOMERS AND STAFF) HAVE FUN.

THIS RESTAURANT, ALTHOUGH OFF THE BEATEN PATH, WILL DO FINE. IT ACTUALLY SHOULD HELP THE CASINO OF THE WIND. ON MONDAY, DURING THE DAY THERE WAS A 45 MINUTE WAIT FOR A TABLE. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NO RESERVATIONS, IT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. CHECK OUT THE MENU POSTED BELOW. JIMMY BUFFETS OPENS AT 11:00 A.M. EVERYDAY. IT CLOSES AT 1:00 AM SUNDAY-THURSDAY. ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IT CLOSES AT 2:00 A.M.

THERE ABOUT SIX JIMMY BUFFET'S: THREE IN FLORIDA, ONE IN ARIZONA, ONE IN LAS VEGAS, AND THE NEWEST ONE IN THE MOHEGAN SUN. AT CLOSING TIME, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RESTAURANT HAD A VERY GOOD GRAND OPENING.

THE FOOD TASTES GREAT AND THE PRICES ARE GOOD. THE STAFF ARE GREAT. THE SURROUNDINGS ARE AMAZING. BROKENWING EDITORIALS WISHES IT WELL.

CHECK IT OUT, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. IT IS A TERRIFIC RESTAURANT.

EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE: WHEN ASKED, BRUCE "TWO DOGS" BOZSUM SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE THE EDITORS OF BROKENWING EDITORIALS OR THE FEATHER NEWS PRESS PASSES. TRIBAL COUNCIL TREASURER, WILLIAM QUIDGEON, WAS ASKED ABOUT THE COST OF SLOT MACHINES AT POCONO DOWNS. HE SAID WHEN HE GETS THE NUMBER HE WILL CALL ME. HE SAID I HAVE YOUR NUMBER. BACK AT SQUARE ONE, HOW MUCH DOES THE SLOT MACHINES COST FOR ONE MONTH AT POCONO DOWNS? DOES ANYONE KNOW?
