We’re here for the International Dyslexia Convention and provided the hotel with our business checking card to hold the room. We do not make online purchases with that card. Over night we saw 2 international purchases for over $2000 hit our card. It appears the hotels card processing machine has been compromised and we were told “we were the only ones complaining and there’s nothing they can do.” We were dismissed as if we crazy. A whole separate issue but minor compared to our bank account being compromised...the room we booked months in advance wasn’t available and we were told there were no non-smoking rooms by one concierge and that there was “nothing they can do, your convention took all the rooms”, then 30 minutes later another employee came up and said they did have one for us. Again we don’t care about the room situation, I just want the funds reimbursed to my card. I now have to miss the beginning of the convention to deal with the fraud issue.

The worst time ever, I drove for 4 hours in a snowstorm, just to play cash poker. I waited all night, after being told several times that I could play, just to be told that they had locked the tables down and I could not play. Then I attempted to play blackjack, just to be kicked off of the table because it was being raised to $25 a hand, along with a whole lot of other people who could not play unless they paid $25. This seemed a bit greedy to me. Nearing the end of the night, I spoke with the manager of the poker room who told me, "Oh well, you shouldn't have came during a snowstorm." That's a great way to treat your customers. Unfortunately, that was the first time that I went there to play poker and I'll never go again. I was very dissatisfied with your customer service. And due to the fact I had to spend $25 a hand at blackjack I spent way more money than I intended. 1-7-16

The place is generous beyond belief to loyal patrons. I often enjoy free tickets to outstanding shows, and get to be pampered like a little princess in any one of the hotels here. Right now I'm in the Grand Pequot, I'd love to post a picture, the rooms here are amazing and the beds are sooooo comfortable, after a hard night of gambling lol, I need my beauty rest! Sometimes I come with guests and then I stay at the Two Trees Inn, my friends have younger children and the pool and amenities there are KID FRIENDLY! I just came yesterday with a friend mainly to play and see the Circus that is here playing now. The show was stupendous, it was fun and such a treat. I LOVE FOXWOODS AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. The staff is just wonderful, you will always get any needed help they go above and beyond. I am a grateful fan, you will not get better comps and perks ANYWHERE either, very generous here! ]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:56:22 +0000 <![CDATA[Foxwoods Resort Casino: Secuirty is horrible]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2507387 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2507387 After being robbed for my $511 voucher and security would not help all they did was call cops and give me the ticket for public disturbance and never went to see who stole my voucher. Horrible treatment and security in the casino. ]]> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:46:56 +0000 <![CDATA[Foxwoods Resort Casino: Hope you dont get robbed...]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2507291 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2507291 After my experience here last night, I hope this resort and it's careless employees lose this battle and seal their fate. Being robbed is bad enough, but then being told by a dozen plus security employees and police officers that they will not assist in investigating or recovery of stolen property puts this resort at #1 on my worst places to stay list! Shame on you Foxwoods! http://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/03/18/magazine/mike-sokolove-foxwood-casinos.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 ]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:27:31 +0000 <![CDATA[Foxwoods Resort Casino: wonder about foxwoods]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2506736 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2506736 One of the biggest casinos in the world, I always felt there was lots of room for improvement. The poker room is great, lots of different games and stakes, Also the bingo players get good value in their game, And there are some full pay dollar video pokers around. The rest of the games are typically bad indian casino fare with poor rules and bad odds. But there is some good at the woods. ]]> Wed, 25 Dec 2013 19:33:24 +0000 <![CDATA[Foxwoods Resort Casino: Foxwoods is a WONDERFUL escape--try it you'll LOVE]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2506302 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2506302 Just got back from a fantastic weekend at Foxwoods. From the moment I arrived until I departed (departing is just like returning to Kansas, having spent the weekend in OZ!!!) I felt like a VIP, with all the first-class customer service, how could you not feel great? This time I really messed up though. I let friends drive off with my purse! So there I was feeling terrible, no money, no ID, no claim for my vehicle!!! The only good part was I'd used the wonderful complimentary VALET service at the spectacular Grand Pequot Hotel! I went forlorn over to the desk, expecting to be chided and not at all sure I'd even be able to get the vehicle. I was soon reassured by Mike Wujtewicz that there was no "CRISIS" that occurs in Valet 3 Parking that he wasn't there to solve. He was nothing but kind, not even the hint of being exasperated. To make matters WORSE, it actually wasn't my car, it was a rental and er, it was white, ummm an SUV, maybe a Chevy and uh, no I didn't recall the model, just that it MAY have had the letter "V" in there someplace or another. I did remember there were New York plates. Soon he located the vehicle, to my amazement. And then, as luck would have it, the same gent who had parked it when I arrived now returned with it and he actually REMEMBERED ME! I was blown away by that. Who remembers a sort of frumpy over the hill gal? Well Bill Wendland, the best valet on EARTH did! We'd had a very brief conversation when I dropped the vehicle with him and now he was able to attest to it being "mine" -- alls well that ends well. I'd have left with more money too, if I were not such a sucker for the bonus features on the slot machines, lol. We did hit and split at Bingo, as well. Later that day I was reunited with my purse, cash, license, and vehicle claim ticket. I just want to say "THANK YOU FOXWOODS" for all the fun you provide for Cee and the fantastic staff that always makes me feel valued and welcome. ]]> Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:57:48 +0000 <![CDATA[Foxwoods Resort Casino: Foxwoods Live Poker]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2504315 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/connecticut/foxwoods-resort-casino.html/discussions/2504315 Foxwoods is a great senior bus destination. $26 ( at most ) gets a $15 buffet and $15 in freeplay. My buddy Wild Bill once hit $1600 on a dollar machine on his freeplay. Then the attendant said he had to “clear” that win by playing one more time, and Bill hit $100 more. Pretty nice for the few minutes of freeplay time before heading to what we come for, the live poker. Also, once you become a regular, Foxwoods gives $10 in Players Club points just for showing up almost any week. These build with comps earned each hour. They can be used to buy a voucher for the next bus trip, so I have actually had six free bus trips with just one car trip in the middle. The casino is arranged like a really large shopping mall. I don’t find the architecture very stunning. Connected, but a long walk is the MGM Grand casino and it is somewhat entertaining, but again nothing that reminds me much of what can be seen in Vegas. The buffet is quite good. My favorites are the prime rib and the battered codfish, but many things are quite tasty, including a barbecue section with pulled pork and great chili. I spice the chili up at other counters with onions and mushrooms and some hot sauce. There are many deserts, but the cookies are very good. What is hard to find are rooms at any reasonable price. Once in a great while there is an offer of a couple free nights, but once I don’t play slots, those end. I often end up in a motel in nearby Groton. At the end of this month my five sons will meet me in Groton for some salt water fishing and evenings in the casino. It is fine to combine both those interests. If you are there and playing poker, let the brush know you would like a room and that might bring the price down if they have openings and like your play. On weekdays I use the Room Saver coupons which can now be printed from their internet site. I generally can get a decent deal for an overnight room in Groton and just have to remember to quit drinking long before last call at 2 AM. Free drinks with play, just like Vegas, and some pretty good stuff served too. Better than Caesar’s room. Myer’s rum is my usual, but Johnny Walker Black is there as well If you gamble with alcohol and driving, don’t leave after the 2 AM last call. The cops are out there waiting for you. Wait, have breakfast, leave later. Play some slots. You will save money in the long run and maybe some jail time. I am also a great fan of a place called Lobster in the Rough that serves lobster in a marina while we watch boats come and go. It is about 20 minutes away and so hard to find that we really need a GPS. Other than a bit of chowder, this place only served lobsters of all sizes. They use a special steamer and cracked so that there is no work to it. In fact, we eat it on a picnic table with a plastic knife and fork. In Foxwoods when the buffet line is too long or I am not so hungry, I go to Pollo Loco and the $10 food voucher gets me plenty to eat. There is never a line there. Once I camped overnight in my van in a place in the Foxwoods parking lot with other squatters, but it was a bit too noisy and well lighted for me to get much sleep. I also tried it in the inside parking garage, but the sound of vehicles going over the speed bumps on other levels would not let me sleep. No one bothered me or any of the others. I’d like it if I could camp there comfortably and I might try it again. Even if I can get just a few hours sleep before an early breakfast, it would let me play late on Saturday and drink all I want and just walk to my bed. In the afternoons the limit game 2-4 or 4-8 is pretty soft depending on the players. The regulars tend to be very tight, so it is easy to play and not be head to head with them without the nuts. There are plenty of folks just in for the entertainment and almost every time someone at the table who does not have a clue how to play. Also, I have had very interesting conversations, similar to Vegas. The folks are a mixed group and once talking may tell you stories of Poland or Mexico or just some interesting bakery in some small Connecticut town. Dealers are friendly and very good except on the days when there is a huge tournament and the regulars deal that while they grab some overflow blackjack dealers to stumble through the limit games. Walking the casino is interesting, but not exciting. If I am having a bad day, I like to go watch the Sic Bo table that is always hopping. It is a fun game to watch, but I wouldn’t want to bet it. I once went on a night that Johnny Mathis was singing his Christmas concert, and it was not hard to pick up tickets from regular players who got them for free and just wanted a couple bucks for them. I managed one that was 8 rows from the front, an amazing location and for a third of the price. You have to look around the box office and keep your eyes on hovering groups of people with tickets in their hands. In my case I overheard a guy say he had extras, so he was happy to sell me one. Buying at the last minute is the best strategy. Prices fall as the scalpers are running out of time. ]]> Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:35:43 +0000
