Foxwoods is a WONDERFUL escape--try it you'll LOVE

Just got back from a fantastic weekend at Foxwoods. From the moment I arrived until I departed (departing is just like returning to Kansas, having spent the weekend in OZ!!!) I felt like a VIP, with all the first-class customer service, how could you not feel great?
This time I really messed up though. I let friends drive off with my purse! So there I was feeling terrible, no money, no ID, no claim for my vehicle!!! The only good part was I'd used the wonderful complimentary VALET service at the spectacular Grand Pequot Hotel! I went forlorn over to the desk, expecting to be chided and not at all sure I'd even be able to get the vehicle. I was soon reassured by Mike Wujtewicz that there was no "CRISIS" that occurs in Valet 3 Parking that he wasn't there to solve. He was nothing but kind, not even the hint of being exasperated. To make matters WORSE, it actually wasn't my car, it was a rental and er, it was white, ummm an SUV, maybe a Chevy and uh, no I didn't recall the model, just that it MAY have had the letter "V" in there someplace or another. I did remember there were New York plates. Soon he located the vehicle, to my amazement. And then, as luck would have it, the same gent who had parked it when I arrived now returned with it and he actually REMEMBERED ME! I was blown away by that. Who remembers a sort of frumpy over the hill gal? Well Bill Wendland, the best valet on EARTH did! We'd had a very brief conversation when I dropped the vehicle with him and now he was able to attest to it being "mine" -- alls well that ends well. I'd have left with more money too, if I were not such a sucker for the bonus features on the slot machines, lol. We did hit and split at Bingo, as well. Later that day I was reunited with my purse, cash, license, and vehicle claim ticket.
I just want to say "THANK YOU FOXWOODS" for all the fun you provide for Cee and the fantastic staff that always makes me feel valued and welcome.

Foxwoods Live Poker

Foxwoods is a great senior bus destination. $26 ( at most ) gets a $15 buffet and $15 in freeplay. My buddy Wild Bill once hit $1600 on a dollar machine on his freeplay. Then the attendant said he had to “clear” that win by playing one more time, and Bill hit $100 more. Pretty nice for the few minutes of freeplay time before heading to what we come for, the live poker.
Also, once you become a regular, Foxwoods gives $10 in Players Club points just for showing up almost any week. These build with comps earned each hour. They can be used to buy a voucher for the next bus trip, so I have actually had six free bus trips with just one car trip in the middle.
The casino is arranged like a really large shopping mall. I don’t find the architecture very stunning. Connected, but a long walk is the MGM Grand casino and it is somewhat entertaining, but again nothing that reminds me much of what can be seen in Vegas.

The buffet is quite good. My favorites are the prime rib and the battered codfish, but many things are quite tasty, including a barbecue section with pulled pork and great chili. I spice the chili up at other counters with onions and mushrooms and some hot sauce.
There are many deserts, but the cookies are very good.

What is hard to find are rooms at any reasonable price. Once in a great while there is an offer of a couple free nights, but once I don’t play slots, those end. I often end up in a motel in nearby Groton. At the end of this month my five sons will meet me in Groton for some salt water fishing and evenings in the casino. It is fine to combine both those interests.
If you are there and playing poker, let the brush know you would like a room and that might bring the price down if they have openings and like your play.
On weekdays I use the Room Saver coupons which can now be printed from their internet site. I generally can get a decent deal for an overnight room in Groton and just have to remember to quit drinking long before last call at 2 AM.
Free drinks with play, just like Vegas, and some pretty good stuff served too. Better than Caesar’s room. Myer’s rum is my usual, but Johnny Walker Black is there as well
If you gamble with alcohol and driving, don’t leave after the 2 AM last call. The cops are out there waiting for you. Wait, have breakfast, leave later. Play some slots. You will save money in the long run and maybe some jail time.
I am also a great fan of a place called Lobster in the Rough that serves lobster in a marina while we watch boats come and go. It is about 20 minutes away and so hard to find that we really need a GPS. Other than a bit of chowder, this place only served lobsters of all sizes. They use a special steamer and cracked so that there is no work to it. In fact, we eat it on a picnic table with a plastic knife and fork.
In Foxwoods when the buffet line is too long or I am not so hungry, I go to Pollo Loco and the $10 food voucher gets me plenty to eat. There is never a line there.

Once I camped overnight in my van in a place in the Foxwoods parking lot with other squatters, but it was a bit too noisy and well lighted for me to get much sleep. I also tried it in the inside parking garage, but the sound of vehicles going over the speed bumps on other levels would not let me sleep. No one bothered me or any of the others. I’d like it if I could camp there comfortably and I might try it again. Even if I can get just a few hours sleep before an early breakfast, it would let me play late on Saturday and drink all I want and just walk to my bed.

In the afternoons the limit game 2-4 or 4-8 is pretty soft depending on the players. The regulars tend to be very tight, so it is easy to play and not be head to head with them without the nuts. There are plenty of folks just in for the entertainment and almost every time someone at the table who does not have a clue how to play.
Also, I have had very interesting conversations, similar to Vegas. The folks are a mixed group and once talking may tell you stories of Poland or Mexico or just some interesting bakery in some small Connecticut town. Dealers are friendly and very good except on the days when there is a huge tournament and the regulars deal that while they grab some overflow blackjack dealers to stumble through the limit games.

Walking the casino is interesting, but not exciting. If I am having a bad day, I like to go watch the Sic Bo table that is always hopping. It is a fun game to watch, but I wouldn’t want to bet it.

I once went on a night that Johnny Mathis was singing his Christmas concert, and it was not hard to pick up tickets from regular players who got them for free and just wanted a couple bucks for them. I managed one that was 8 rows from the front, an amazing location and for a third of the price. You have to look around the box office and keep your eyes on hovering groups of people with tickets in their hands. In my case I overheard a guy say he had extras, so he was happy to sell me one. Buying at the last minute is the best strategy. Prices fall as the scalpers are running out of time.

Foxwoods review


I go to Foxwoods a lot so it's not too bad, but I have my share of complaints.



The Buffet food is excellent but unless you like lunch at 11:15 be prepared to stand in line for a long time.



The Video Poker is the worst I've seen: 7/5 for $.25 Jacks or better goes to 8/5 if you play $1.00 (still a long way from 9/6).



Blackjack rules are very good (surrender first 2 cards - double down after splitting). It is sometimes hard to find a seat at the blackjack or 3 card poker tables and usually minimum bet is $15.00. I never stayed overnight.

Smoke made my eyes water. Dealers at tables helpful to novices. Beautiful setting and facilities. Spent only about 1/2 hr at the slots and won enough to make my trip worthwhile.

Awesome & Gigantic

The place is very unique and has multible casinos. It is set back about 25 miles from I95 in a hilly forested area. There are numerous pieces of native american art and sculptures scattered throughout the hugh complex. The slots were pretty tight, but the experience of visiting the place was worth the drive.

Foxwoods

Bingo is how they started and they have very big games.



Buffet most of time has the same food, and they need some change. They have most of it all, as they say "the wonder of it all Foxwoods." But there are no other casinos around like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Need more bus service.



Rooms are nice. Has three hotels. Priced under $100 sometimes at one, the other two are more. Two Trees Inn is the cheap one. Nice and clean. Has food and 24hr shuttle bus to casino 10min walk at end of parking lot.

Foxwoods has come a long way!

Foxowoods now has a large assortment of restaurants and entertainment. The blackjack rules are decent and the table availability is pretty good.



It will be interesting to see what happens with Foxwoods venture with MGM/Mirage and the new hotel going up on the property.



I'd like to see them improve the smoke ventilation system for the non-smokers.

Foxwoods has a great buffet for the money. The casino has a good selection of penny machines. The rewards program (called the wampum club) is one of the best I have seen and I go to Las Vegas 2 times a year.

Number 1 out of 2

I have been going to Foxwoods since the very beginning, back when there were only table games. I am amazed at the growth and splendor there today.



I go mainly for the Poker. Great room, unfortunalty the only poker room, unless Mohegan Sun reopens theirs.



The buffet is good, reasonable price. I like that they have a Hard Rock Cafe. All in all, a good place to gamble
