Cape Cod: MGM at Foxwoods (September 2008)

We spent a great (unplanned) night here. The rooms are in a tower of at least 28 floors (we were on the 25th). Rooms were very comfortable, with a king bed, chair/ottoman, desk, etc. Flat screen TVs, rainfall shower heads, deluxe toiletries (although the conditioner bottle left a little to be desired), nice towels, robes, and bedding. Mini-bars are weighted, so don't even touch if you don't plan to buy. The outdoor pool is lovely, with several cabanas for rent ($199 on weekdays, $299 on weekends) and include deluxe seating areas, TV, mister/chiller unit, refrigerator. Plenty of chairs by the pool, and well-staffed. Quite a few restaurants surrounding the casino floor, Shrine (Asian), Alta Strada (Italian), Juniors (NY deli/cheesecake), Tom Coliccio's CraftSteak, plus a food court and other take-out options. A few higher-end stores, also a gift shop/sundries shop. Concierge service, valet parking available. Connected to the original Foxwoods Resort/Casino by indoor moving walkways/escalators. As far as amenities/shopping, I liked the "old" Foxwoods area better than the MGM area, but I really prefer the Mohegan Sun to both of those.
