I am going to NYC in March for a week and may take a trip up to Foxwoods in CT if I can get the wife interested in seeing the countryside

Anyone been there?
Yes, poker room is big with plenty of choices with the cash games in what best could be described as a very big basement and tourneys up stairs. The casino is huge, I think it has the most gaming space of any casino in the world.
If you want to take the wife to a casino with a bit of "wow" factor go to Mohegan sun which is about 10 miles from Foxwoods, would be up there with the top line Vegas casinos in terms of decor imo. The poker room is not anywhere near as good as foxwoods though.
It is about 2 1/2 drive from NYC and yes there is plenty of countyside there!
