It turns out you don't have to go to Vegas, Dubai or Macau to experience some high roller fun--you can just go to Connecticut!

That's because the Foxwoods Resort and Casino has completed a brand new High Rollers Luxury Lanes and Lounge with 20 bowling lanes (six of 'em for VIPs), billiards tables, a two-level lounge with a piano and 50-seat marble bar, two full-service bars and more than 60 HDTVs. Already this place, which actually opened back in October, is fulfilling our New Year's Resolutions list for 2011 (see #4.)

In an article from Hospitality Design, we learn that the inspiration for the bowling lanes was actually "evoking the glamour of Las Vegas in the '20s and '30s." Interestingly enough, Vegas casinos weren't actually around in the 20s and the 30s.

When it comes to Indian-run casinos, it’s all about expressing the local tribal culture through the property’s design, décor, and if you’re lucky, customer service and cuisine. Frequently, the overall experience feels like Native American-themed overkill that rivals even the gaudiest high stake destinations in Sin City.

At Tulalip Resort Casino, the Tulalip Tribes has nailed the fine art of running a classy casino without the usual cheese factor – in non-descript Marysville, Washington, no less. The gaming floor features more than 2,000 slot machines and 50 table games. The place is immaculately clean, tastefully designed, and the smoke ventilation system keeps the air remarkably breathable. Imagine that.

The casino’s restaurants, especially Black Fish and the more fancy schmancy Tulalip Bay, are really quite tasty, with service that exceeds many of nearby Seattle’s fine-dining darlings.
