New England's First and Still Its Largest Gaming Destination

Foxwoods—New England's largest casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut (map)—was once the largest casino in the world. It remains one of the largest casinos in the United States: second only to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma. We may be biased, but with so much to do near Foxwoods and another of America's best and biggest casinos—Mohegan Sun (third largest in the country)—just a minute drive away, why would you ever go to Thackerville?

Foxwoods never closes, and it's so big, you really have to see it to believe it. Even if you don't gamble, you can lose yourself in this enormous "virtual world" filled with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.

Owned by the Mashantucket Pequot tribe and open 24 hours a day, days per year, Foxwoods Resort Casino is celebrating its 27th anniversary in What began as a Bingo hall has survived economic ups and downs and evolved to become so much more than a gaming destination. Foxwoods is Connecticut's non-stop entertainment hot spot.

Gambling and Beyond

Yes, you'll find 4, slot machines; the largest poker room on the East Coast; table games like Blackjack, Roulette and Craps; a Race Book where you can watch and bet on dog and horse racing and jai alai, plus a Bingo Hall that goes on forever—it's one of the largest Bingo destinations in the world. But, you'll also lose hours engaged in activities that are a guaranteed win like dining on everything from steak to an all-you-can-eat buffet at the casino's always expanding line-up of restaurants, shopping at Connecticut's only indoor outlet center and being entertained by some of the world's best performers, from Jerry Seinfeld to Alice Cooper.

In the summer, Foxwoods hosts Liquid Sundays pool parties that will remind you of Las Vegas. You'll love the eagle-eye views from the nearly-mile-long High Flyer Zipline, especially in late September and October, when the surrounding woods are ablaze with fall color. And you don't want to miss the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, one of Connecticut's best and most immersive museums, which is a five-minute drive away, and Foxwoods' Lake of Isles golf course, which is nearby in North Stonington and the finest public course in Connecticut.
