This is something of a big deal because the statewide closing time for liquor service is 2 AM.

Wynn asked for this later closing because some competing east-coast casinos are able to serve liquor 24 hours.

What's happened in MA is: the Gaming Commission can now at its discretion grant a 4 AM closure license to casinos - but persons being served after 2 AM must be actively participating in gaming.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has been an advocate for providing late-night services in the city in support of business and tourism. Unfortunately, an experiment with extending the hours of transit services (subways and buses) wasn't sustainable economically and had been discontinued.
