Visiting Foxwoods
Liz and I wound up at Foxwoods for one simple reason; I have never been here before. We were up early and I was antsy to get out for a drive. I had mentioned I had never been to Foxwoods and off we went. There was more to Foxwoods than I had anticipated. Neither of us are big gamblers so we spent some time wandering around the casinos, browsing in and out of shops, grabbing a snack and taking it all in. After having our fill of seeing Foxwoods and throwing in a few bucks to the slot machine, the smoke finally began to get to us so we hopped in the car and headed south for some dinner.
After our visit to Foxwoods I can say I was there. I don't see us coming back here though. We are not gamblers, the smoke was killing us and the food is overpriced. If you are a gambler I can understand the draw of this place: plenty of accomodations, lots of tables and slots, plenty of food options, shopping and the spa and golf. So this casino is a gambler's paradise....we are just not "gamblers".
