Win or Lose

As you drive along Route 2 in Connecticut on your way to Rhode Island you see a mesmerizing site in the middle of nowhere. You blink and think you have found the emerald city and the Wizard of OZ. You have found Foxwoods and MGM at Foxwoods.

Years ago (in the early 70's) Foxwoods began with a huge Bingo Hall, the only gambling of sorts allowed in Connecticut. Fast-forward to today and the Mashantucket Pequot Indian Tribe is a successful tribe with Casinos, restaurants, Bingo, and Hotels.

There are thousands of slot machines. Choose your denomination, A ¼ cent, to a hundred dollars in multiple casinos all in one location.
Blackjack, poker, craps, or roulette, name your bet, ten dollars or a hundred. If you prefer to play on your own, there are plenty of video poker or blackjack machines. New to the casino is virtual roulette or blackjack. And there are High stakes areas for the professional player with money to spare in a night of fun.

When you win that big jackpot there are plenty of places to spend your money if you are in the market for a Rolex, exquisite jewelry, shoes, an Ipod or Apple Computer, Pandora bracelet, Swavorski, Munson Candy (made in Bolton Connecticut and much more in the shops at Foxwoods.
When you have worked up an appetite you have plenty of restaurants to choose from. Fuddruckers, California Pizza, David Burke Steakhouse, Cedar steakhouse, Chinese, Italian, American , Buffets, Food courts, Hard Rock Cafe, Juniors, and the newest choice; High Rollers Luxury Lane and Lounge.

High Rollers is not only a great place to have awesome drinks and a quick bite to eat, but you can have all this while bowling at one of their beautiful luxurious lanes with huge flat screen TVs to view your favorite sports events. When you are done bowling, you can walk across the bar to impress your friends with a great game of pool.

Next stop, go over to the MGM casino to the "Shrine" where the music, dancing and nightlife is the place to be for the 21 -30 year old group to gyrate the night away. Dress to impress a must for entry..

While you are there check out who is performing at the MGM theater. You will find top performers (and not so top performers), and a huge turn out when the casino gives out free tickets as a perk to their "Dream card" members.

Plan on staying the weekend at one of the three beautiful Casino hotels. Pamper yourself and enjoy a day at the spa.

In the spring bring your golf clubs and play a round of golf on one of the most beautiful professional courses you will find anywhere.

Spend a weekend at Foxwoods. You will not be disappointed unless of course you lose.
Be smart.. decide what you are willing to spend, win or lose before you go.
