Foxwood Sexes Up Its Fun Options with a High Rollers Bowling Alley

Where: 39 Norwich Westerly Rd [map], Ledyard Center, CT, United States, 06339

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.

The Big Get Bigger

Where: Route 2 [map], Ledyard, CT, United States, 06339

Foxwoods, the world's largest casino complex, is planning a $700 million expansion including a 825 room hotel.

The project, approved by Mashantucket Pequot tribe members in a referendum Monday, will add 2 million square feet to the complex. The expansion, expected to be completed by 2008, will include a 825-room hotel, a new casino, a 5,000-seat concert theater, six nightclubs and restaurants, and a 21,000-square-foot luxury spa.

Foxwoods is hoping to become more of a resort, and less of a pit stop for gambling fiends.

Mohegan Sun, you are now on the clock.
