Foxwoods Resort Casino
The story of high-volume casino gaming along with on-property shopping, dining, and entertainment begins in 1986, when the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation opened its original high-stakes bingo hall. Today, Foxwoods comprises six casinos that collectively offer more than 7,000 slot machines and 400 tables for 17 different types of table games, including 100 for poker. There's a luxurious, high-tech Race Book, as well as the world's largest Bingo Hall.

Accommodations at the resort, located at 39 Norwich-Westerly Road in the town of Ledyard, total 1,416 guest rooms and suites, including the Grand Pequot Tower, Great Cedar Hotel, and Two Trees Inn. For conventions and group events, Foxwoods features more than 55,000 square feet of meeting space and 25 conference rooms. More than 40,000 guests visit Foxwoods each day.

MGM Grand at Foxwoods, which opened in 2008, added nearly 2 million square feet of overall space, featuring significantly increased hotel, entertainment, restaurants and gaming venues as well as enhanced corporate retreat, meeting, and convention resources.

Dining options at Foxwoods range from gourmet dinner at Paragon, to bountiful buffets and quick meals on the move. Other choices include local seafood and poultry at Cedars, authentic Southern Italian cuisine at Al Dente, dim sum at the Golden Dragon, and flame-grilled Mexican chicken at El Pollo Loco. David Burke Prime features a contemporary steakhouse menu. A tasty, quick meal can be found at Panera Bread or the Veranda Café.

Entertainment venues at Foxwoods offer something for everyone: championship boxing, theater, concerts, lounges, and video games. In addition to the Fox Theater and the MGM Grand Theater, more intimate venues include the Hard Rock Cafe and Atrium Lounge.

Mohegan Sun
A world at play and a world to its own, Mohegan Sun, created in 1996 by the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut, is one of the world's most amazing destinations with some of New England's finest dining, hotel accommodations, retail shopping, live entertainment and sporting events.

The Mohegan Sun, located at 1 Mohegan Sun Boulevard in the town of Uncasville, is also host to the fabulous Kids Quest/Cyber Quest family entertainment facility, a luxurious day spa, convention center and meeting facility, as well as three major entertainment venues with seating from 300 to 10,000. People from across the globe come to see live concerts with some of today's top headliners, along with major sporting events including Mohegan Sun's very own WNBA team, the Connecticut Sun.

Every turn leads to a new adventure, with wonderful views of an indoor 7-story waterfall, a large and spectacular planetarium dome, and the awe-inspiring Wombi Rock, a glowing crystal mountain made of imported stone that serves as the focal point of the Casino of the Sky.

As a premier destination worldwide, Mohegan Sun includes more than 300,000 square feet of gaming, including smoke-free areas, luxury hotel tower and a world-class spa.
