That said, there are plenty of great things to be said about the property. I can count on Foxwoods to get my step counts up. Walking from Fox Tower to the Rainmaker garage can take 15-20 minutes. Whereas Mohegan Sun seemed to work off a master plan that kept everything nearby, Foxwoods seems to have built out where it was convenient. And now, they’ve announced yet another massive addition, this time a Great Wolf Lodge that will add another hotel and an indoor water complex. The Fox Tower and Tanger Outlets are newer additions the outlets serve as a second connector between the Fox Tower area of the property and the Grand Pequot area. The main core of the property revolves around a rectangle that connects the Bingo area and bus lobby, the Rainmaker Casino, the Grand Pequot Casino and hotel, and the Great Cedar casino and hotel. This is still the case, although the more modern look and feel of many of the new areas help to blend things in a bit more.īut it’s the overall sprawl of the property that emphasizes the way it was built. Many of the remodeling efforts finally begin to bring a touch of unity to a property that always felt like it was built in phases, with decor that felt disjointed as you went from one area to the next. This is on top of a series of renovations that have happened to other spaces, including a new Bingo Hall (back where the Bingo Hall originally existed earlier in the property’s history), new gaming spaces and new expo space. Over the past few years, with gaming proliferating, they’ve been taking steps to try to diversify the options, including a zip line from the top of the Fox Tower, a drop tower, a 4-D movie theater and the addition of a Tanger Outlets shopping center. I quickly learned that I had only explored one small casino out of a number of them that the property had, and this preceded the expansions that would come in recent years.įoxwoods is one of the largest resort-casino complexes in North America, starting out as a bingo hall and then transforming itself over the course of nearly 30 years into the megalith it is today. I found my way to what I thought was the casino with $60, nearly ran out of money playing quarter machines, and then got a hit that basically brought me even.

Foxwoods was the very first casino I ever visited when I was first legally able to gamble.
