It would be more hunting to find ‘Cedar’ and at this point I lost the ambition to gamble. As it turns out the ‘Rainmaker” casino is also a smokers paradise too. So many shops and food establishments, all empty. There are many business along the way all of them with no customers and seemingly on the short road to closing their doors. We were told that “Rainmaker” was non-smoking so we took the 10-minute walk through the maze of Foxwoods corridors and eventually found the casino. Now, only the Cedar Casino is smoke free, and everywhere else you go, it stinks! Sorry, if you smoke, you should quit as a former smoker, I truly find the casino ‘smoking’ experience disgusting and offensive. I was under the impression that smoking was bad for you and that most of the casino(s) were non-smoking (it was years ago) but that seems to have become reversed. During the day it’s filled with moderate noise from construction, and at night just looked totally uninviting.

I expect when finished it will be just fine. The Casino in the Tower was under renovation and halfway closed during our stay. The small Flat screen TV is typical of most resorts, slow and annoying! The King bed could have been a little better and the big lounge chair needed to be cleaned but that aside, the accommodations were quite lovely. I believe this was the former MGM hotel, and has been refurbished with very nice appointments. Simply breathtaking! Ours was a good size room, and an equally spacious bathroom with a large stall shower and heavy glass door. In the fall, the trees are ablaze with colors and contours. Check in was equally fast and the room was a King on the 15th floor overlooking the vast countryside. The Valet is quick and efficient and as a guest, no additional cost. Driving into the complex is a little confusing as there are several resorts all connected together.

The Tower at Foxwoods is where we stayed for 2 nights in late October 2015.
