What to do at Foxwood Resorts and Casino?

The 10 Best Things to Do at Foxwoods Resort and Casino is all about the fun activities you can do while at Foxwoods that isn’t just about gambling. The resort and casino has a number of things to do that include museums,  food, spas and much more!

When Foxwoods Resort and Casino asked me to visit the resort and experience all the grounds have to offer, I grabbed my  jug of quarters, packed my suitcase, grabbed my husband and off we went. While I live close to the casino, I didn’t think about going away for a local getaway. Foxwoods has so much to offer and can keep you occupied all day, every day.

As you stroll through the the resort you will see lots of little treasures that you wouldn’t expect. It’s not a place that you look straight ahead, you have to look around and up too because the deco will have you taking pictures every ten feet. Just like Derek Jeter has superstitions when going up to bat, we have our superstitions before hitting the tables. We walk around and soak it all in, get the good vibes going, decide what time and where we’ll eat dinner and then circle the tables. I need to find the right one, it needs to call my name and we become one (ok it sounds a little crazy, but it works). My games are Blackjack and Roulette, I played Roulette the first day and Blackjack the next. My husband likes the slots and once he’s had enough, he comes over to watch me and becomes my good luck charm.

Like I said in the opening, Casinos aren’t just for gambling. Foxwoods doesn’t have Resort in their name for nothing. There’s a ton to do but here’s my

The casino at Foxwoods is a MUST!  If you’re a slot person, you may want to try your luck on the tables. My personal favorite is Roulette. It’s one of the easiest to learn on the spot and you get to pick your favorite numbers. Odds are usually pretty good too. Foxwoods also has Gaming Lessons, you can learn Craps, Roulette, and Blackjack in one hour. Fridays and Saturdays now through September 15th from 3-4 PM at the Grand Pequot Tower – Pit 23.

Spend The Night

 

 

Four unique hotel properties sets the stage for creating your ultimate Foxwoods experience. The Fox Tower a luxury and vibrant hotel will cater to your every need. The view is breath taking and the grand pool is so beautiful you’ll walk in with your clothes on (I did)! Relax on your lounge chair by the pool and order your favorite drink. Take in the sunshine before you head into the casino for the nightlife. Don’t forget to order your room service breakfast before you head out. In the morning you’ll appreciate the soft terry robe while guest services sets up your breakfast.

 

 

 

 

Where To Eat

 

 

You have a choice of gourmet, casual, or quick service. The six gourmet restaurants all have award-winning chefs and will give you a dining experience to remember. One of the best meals I had was at David Burke Prime, the mouth watering menu gives you so many options that it’s hard to choose. The impeccable service makes you want to stay there forever. I think I’m still full!

If you’re in the mood to rock it out head to Hard Rock Cafe or for a night of laughter try Comix. If your on a roll at the table and need to get a quick bite, there’s plenty of quick eat options including a buffet.

Spa

Choose either the G-Spa or Norwich Spa at Foxwoods and slip away to relax, calm your spirit and rejuvenate your body. Take an hour or an entire day to experience total luxury and relaxation. Haircuts, color, mani, pedi, wax, skin treatment, massage, body treatments, and special services. You can pick a package or create your own. It’s time to pamper yourself!

Shows

Headline entertainment for every taste, every day. Whether it’s the biggest comedy stars from TV and film, beloved singers, or Las Vegas style extravaganzas, you will find your favorites. We happened to see Menopause The Musical which was the beginning of a night filled with laughter and fun! The Fox Theater doesn’t have a bad seat in the house and there’s always something happening there!

GOLF

Enjoy the spectacular view of the outdoors with a round of golf on the No. 1 golf course in Connecticut. At Lake of Isles’ golf course you don’t have to be Arnold Palmer to play. The multiple tee locations on over 7300 yards are for golfers of every skill level.

SHOP

You will find everything you need and want from luxury to bare essentials. Boutiques include exclusive designers like Bulgari, Chopard, Pandora, Michael Simon, Jared Lang and Hugo Boss. Need something sweet? Munson and Lick has you covered. The best part about shopping is you can use your rewards card so be sure to hand it over while you’re on the tables or slots.

NIGHTLIFE

You have gambled, shopped, had dinner, maybe played golf or spent some time at the spa. You had a fun filled day but the night has just begun. There are places to have drinks, dance, and rock out. Whatever your mood, there’s something for you. We started out at the Atrium listening to a live band. We had a couple many drinks (we’re not driving so no worries) and danced then headed to The Box. My husband bought a nice cigar and we went to sit outside on the patio to enjoy the beautiful night.

If you’re counting, you know I’ve named nine things so far. My tenth favorite thing to do was to have a night alone with my husband, no phones, no computers, no visitors, just the two of us having a blast!
