MGM Resorts has dropped a lawsuit over the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes’ plan to develop an East Windsor casino, a project shelved as part of the gaming-expansion agreement negotiated earlier this year between Gov. Ned Lamont and the tribes.
The agreement formed the basis of legislation passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor.
In a filing over the weekend in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, MGM Resorts Global Development and Blue Tarp Redevelopment, another MGM entity, dismissed “without prejudice” their suit against the U.S. Department of the Interior over the department’s approval of state-tribal gaming agreements that facilitated the East Windsor project.
