Foxwoods Resort and Casino is a premiere gambling destination in New England, but for many guests it is a long way to travel. Luckily, some hotels located off of convenient highway exits offer free shuttles to Foxwoods, saving guests money and the hassle of driving or arranging for a taxi. From there, guests can enjoy gambling, fine dining and the Lake of Isles golf course.
MGM at Foxwoods
Foxwoods' neighboring casino is the towering MGM Resort. There is a walkway connection between both casinos, but it can take nearly 15 minutes and the free shuttle to Foxwoods is much faster. It drops guests off at the main entrance, where they can enter the casino floor or visit the food court.
