Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino are not mincing any words as they begin battle against the casinos of Atlantic City.

 

In fact, they”™re putting their words in large letters on billboards along major highways.

 

“Two worlds beat one city.”

 

“Way beyond the boredwalk.”

 

“Escape the Jersey snore.”

 

As the recession has hit the gaming industry, the two Connecticut casinos have seen declining revenue. As a result, the Mohegan and Mashantucket tribes have even teamed up for a web site, www.playctcasinos.com.

 

We await to see how the Atlantic City casinos reply.

 

We understand some of the billboards that didn”™t make the cut were:

“Only those from Boise go to Joisey.”

 

“Jersey, that”™s a cow isn”™t it?”

 

Surely they”™ll play nice, those casino people from New Jersey, if they decide to retaliate.
