Foxwoods Casino Ct Map
Foxwoods Resort Casino is a fun spot to go with friends and even family. Headline acts grace the Fox Theater Stage and Comix Comedy Club. The kids can enjoy a two story arcade or outdoor skating rink in the winter. Adults can gamble on penny slots or in the third largest poker room in the world. It's not cheap unless you win big, but it's fun, and on weekends you can dance the night away, play blackjack through the night, and then take the elevator up to your room for a nap.
Rooms at Foxwoods Resort Casino
Foxwoods has four distinct hotels within the resort. The Grand Pequot Tower has the nicest rooms, and even offers Tower Villa Suites with round-the-clock butler service. The Great Cedar Hotel offers decent rooms at a better price. The Fox Tower (previously the MGM Tower) is connected via walkway to the rest of the resort, but offers a large outdoor pool and is in the same area as the main concert stage and Shrine nightclub. The Two Trees Inn is a short, complimentary shuttle ride away and offers cheaper rates as well as pet-friendly rooms. Book early for weekends and peak times; midweek you can usually just show up and get a room. You can also find plenty of inns nearby with free shuttles and competitive prices.
Must see/do at Foxwoods Resort Casino
If you or your wallet need a break from gambling, you'll find plenty of other things to do. For excellent, albeit pricy dining, try David Burke's restaurant Prime. Get the candied bacon appetizer; it will be the highlight of your trip.
The Scorpion Bar has tasty Mexican food and drinks, and on the weekend they've got live bands, awesome DJ's, and girls in booty shorts dancing on the bars. Get there before nine on these nights to beat the cover charge.
If you can catch a show or see a concert at the Fox Theater, go for it. This is a fantastic venue, not too large, and with great views of the stage from almost any seat.
Best and worst time to go to Foxwoods Resort Casino
This depends on what kind of experience you're looking for. If crowds full of bachelorette parties, guys on getaways, and some grandmas with oxygen tanks are your thing, go on a Friday or Saturday night and plan to stay out for a while. If you want a spot at a blackjack table with a low minimum bet and low noise level, go on a weekday, particularly in the afternoon. If you go Christmas Day, you may feel like you're in a ghost town, which could either be very cool or very creepy.
Parking and public transportation at Foxwoods Resort Casino
Parking is easy, as there are several self park lots as well as free valet parking available at each casino entrance. The valet parking is worthwhile; just allow a bit of time for the valets to retrieve your car. There are also tons of buses from various locations in New England and New York. You can call 1-888-BUS-2-FOX or check the Foxwoods website for schedules and details.
Other places to visit near Foxwoods Resort Casino
If you haven't already gambled away your kid's college fun, drive fifteen minutes to the slightly larger Mohegan Casino. Or, venture outside; drive twenty minutes to the historic and charming seaport town of Mystic, Connecticut. In June you can even enjoy Mystic's annual sea shanty festival. Spend new money on old furniture as you enjoy some of Mystic's many antique shops.
Insider tip for visitors to Foxwoods Resort Casino
Drinks in the casinos are free. They may not be the strongest, but they're free. Just wait for a waitress to come around, and don't forget to tip her a buck or a chip. Also, even if you only go once in a while, become a rewards member and use your rewards card whenever you gamble. In the slot machines you accrue points relatively quickly, and those points can be used as cash in any of the resort shops, restaurant, and bars. By the end of the weekend, even if you've spent $200 gambling, you will at least have earned back a coffee at Starbucks. Rewards members also get offers on cheap midweek rooms and free show tickets.

Casinos in Connecticut
There are two casinos in Connecticut, both which are affiliated of Native American tribes.
Foxwoods Resort Casino
The Foxwood Resort Casino is operated by Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. It is the third-largest casino in the world, and the first casino to successfully open in Connecticut. They opened their doors in 1992 and at that time slot machines we not permitted in the casino. A deal was made between Governor Weicker and the Pequots in 1993 that gave the tribe exclusive rights to offer slot machines. This deal was only contingent on the fact that the tribe must give a yearly payment of 25% of the slot’s gross revenue to the state.
In 2008 a new casino was added called the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. This was later renamed the Fox Tower in 2013. The Fox tower connects to the Foxwoods Casino Resort by a moving, covered, walkway.
Mohegan Sun Casino
In 1994 the state of Connecticut signed a compact with the Mohegan Tribe to allow them to offer casino gambling on their reservation in Uncasville. The Mohegan Tribe struck another deal, this time with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe to allow for slot machines in their casinos. This slot machine deal has the same stipulation that 25% of the gross slot revenue must be paid to the state. This deal is subject to cancellation if the state legalizes another form of casino gambling. The Mohegan Tribe opened their Mohegan Sun Casino in 1996.
Both of the casinos in Connecticut have a minimum gambling age of 21, and 18 for bingo. All Connecticut casinos are open 24 hours.
