Foxwoods Resort Casino

Foxwoods Resort Casino is a major gaming and entertainment destination owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. Located on their reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut, it is one of the largest resort casinos in North America. The complex spans approximately 9 million square feet and features six distinct casinos.

The resort is notable for its extensive gaming facilities, which include over 250 table games for blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker, alongside more than 5,500 slot machines. Beyond gambling, Foxwoods offers a variety of dining and entertainment options, including a Hard Rock Cafe. Its development was made possible by changes in federal and state laws in the late 20th century that permitted gaming on sovereign Native American tribal lands.

Foxwoods has recently been in the news due to a significant fire incident. On November 19, 2025, multiple news outlets reported a large blaze at a restaurant within the resort casino, which prompted a substantial emergency response. The incident resulted in several firefighters being hospitalized, drawing widespread media attention to the property.
