Yes, Foxwoods Casino Resort is one of the world’s largest, but it’s so much more than that, as CEO Jason Guyot explains. By David McKee

It may no longer be the biggest casino in North America — Oklahoma’s Win-Star now owns that distinction — let alone the world. (That’d be Venetian Macao.) But Foxwoods Resort Casino was the first of its kind outside Las Vegas or Atlantic City, not to mention the very first Native American casino ever. And it’s still the pace car for tribal casinos across the continent. It’s not so much a pace car as an entire fleet unto itself. Sprawling and massive, Foxwoods encompasses nine million square feet, six gaming floors and a staggering number of amenities.

A complete refresh of the 300-room, boutique hotel in a cowboy glam-style is bringing some new excitement to the property.
