Foxwoods Resort Casino is 118.9 straight-line miles from Manhattan, a figure measured great-circle between fixed coordinates and labeled here as straight-line rather than road distance. Road distance is always longer than any straight-line figure, and this article does not publish driving mileage, travel time, or routing instructions for any pair.
The venue's position is fixed: 41.47388889 latitude, -71.95805556 longitude, in Ledyard, Connecticut. What changes is where a reader starts from. The table below lists every reference point for which a documented straight-line distance to Foxwoods exists, all measured the same way, so a reader can orient the venue against cities they know without mistaking any figure for a road trip.
What the distance table does and does not show
Every number in the table is a great-circle distance between two coordinate pairs. Great-circle distance is the shortest path along the Earth's surface, ignoring terrain, water crossings, road networks, and state boundaries. A straight-line figure can be useful for understanding relative position, but it cannot tell a reader how long a drive will take, which roads to use, or what a trip will cost.
Road distance differs from straight-line distance for several structural reasons. Water bodies force detours unless a bridge, tunnel, or ferry exists on a route. Terrain such as hills and river valleys bends road alignments. Road networks connect population centers rather than following a direct line, and state or county boundaries can add routing complexity. Each of these factors adds miles beyond the great-circle figure.

Where Foxwoods sits within Connecticut
Foxwoods Resort Casino is located in Ledyard, Connecticut, in the southeastern part of the state. Its coordinates place it east of the Connecticut River and north of the Long Island Sound coastline. The venue is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation, and publicly published reference sources describe the resort as covering an area of 9,000,000 square feet including six casinos.
The documented facility figures give a sense of scale. The property has 2,228 hotel rooms across two hotel towers, more than 5,500 slot machines, and more than 250 gaming tables for blackjack, craps, roulette, and poker. The original tower, Great Cedar, opened in 1992, with the Grand Pequot Tower following in 1997 and the third tower opening in 2008 as the MGM Grand. These figures are from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time; room counts, machine counts, and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.
Reading the venue against other casinos
The distance matrix includes many casino reference points, which lets a reader compare Foxwoods' fixed position against other gaming venues without implying any road route between them. The straight-line figures show relative separation only. For example, Turning Stone is 217.4 straight-line miles away, while WinStar is 1,470.7 straight-line miles away, and Pechanga is 2,507.7 straight-line miles away. These are coordinate-to-coordinate measurements, not travel plans.
When two casino names appear in the same table row, the number describes how far apart their fixed locations are, not how a person moves between them. A reader comparing Foxwoods to another venue should treat the straight-line figure as a positioning aid and obtain road distance separately from a mapping tool if they need driving information.
If your starting point is not in the table
The venue's position is fixed; a reader's position is not. If a reader asks about distance from "me" or "my location," no single reference point exists to measure from. The correct approach is to take Foxwoods' coordinates, 41.47388889, -71.95805556, and measure from the reader's own coordinates using any mapping tool that supports great-circle or road-distance calculation.
This article cannot measure a pair that is not in the documented matrix. If a reader wants the distance from a city not listed above, the article can only offer the nearest listed reference points and the venue's coordinates. No road mileage, driving time, highway number, exit, or turn-by-turn instruction appears here because none of those facts are part of the documented set.
What to confirm before you go
Several things change between the time this article is written and the time a reader travels. Current operating hours, hotel availability, room rates, parking fees, event schedules, and any promotional terms are all held by the property's own booking and guest-services channels. A reader should confirm these directly with the venue before making travel commitments.
The documented facility figures here describe a point in time. Ownership and branding of casino properties also change through sales and rebrands. The reader's best move is to verify the current room count, machine count, and any policy that affects their stay through the venue's published pages rather than relying on a static article.
FAQ
Does Foxwoods match slot play from other casinos?
This article does not answer questions about slot play matching, promotional terms, or any offer that may change. Slot play matching is a promotional policy that varies by property and over time, and no documented promotional terms exist in this article's reference set. A reader should check the venue's own published offers or guest services for the current answer.
How far is Foxwoods from New York City?
Foxwoods is 118.9 straight-line miles from NYC, measured great-circle between fixed coordinates. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. A reader needing road distance should use a mapping tool with the venue's coordinates, 41.47388889, -71.95805556, and their own starting point.
What is the closest major city to Foxwoods?
Among the documented reference points, Boston is 76.8 straight-line miles away, which is the shortest listed distance to a major city. Manhattan and NYC are both 118.9 straight-line miles away. These are great-circle figures, not road distances, and should be read as relative positioning rather than travel guidance.
