From Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, the documented straight-line distance is 118.9 miles to NYC, 320.5 miles to Washington DC, 808.0 miles to Chicago, and 2592.5 miles to Sacramento, all measured as straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

For a reader searching foxwoods casino ct, the fixed point is the venue itself: Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, at publicly published reference coordinates of 41.47388889, -71.95805556. The useful question here is not how long any trip will take, but where the property sits and which reference points have documented great-circle measurements.

The venue's fixed position

Foxwoods Resort Casino is documented in Ledyard, Connecticut. Publicly published reference sources place it at latitude 41.47388889 and longitude -71.95805556.

Those coordinates place the venue in the Northern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. In plain directional terms supported by the coordinates and the stated location, it is in Connecticut and therefore in the northeastern United States rather than in the South, Midwest, or West.

The same reference sources describe Foxwoods Resort Casino as an integrated resort owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut. Facility figures in public references describe a documented point in time rather than a live current snapshot, but they do help explain the scale of the site.

Documented venue scale

Publicly published reference sources describe more than 5,500 slot machines at the casinos, 2,228 hotel rooms across two hotel towers, and 53 table games in the MGM Grand at Foxwoods amenities listing. The original tower opening is documented in 1992.

The same location source says the resort includes six casinos and covers 9,000,000 square feet, with 840,000 square metres given in the same source sentence. Because casino properties are rebuilt, expanded, and reconfigured over time, figures like room counts, machine counts, gaming positions, and floor area should be read as documented historical or reference figures, not as a promise of today's exact layout.

All documented straight-line distance pairs

The table below lists every documented straight-line pair available for this venue in the reference set used for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points. It is useful for orientation because it tells you how far apart places are in pure geographic terms, without mixing in route choice, road layout, or transport mode.

Actual road travel is longer because roads do not move in a perfect geometric line. They bend around developed areas, property boundaries, water, terrain, and the available road network, and longer detours can appear when state lines, bridges, or limited crossing points shape the route.

That is why a venue can be 118.9 straight-line miles from NYC or 406.5 straight-line miles from Toronto without that figure telling you the road mileage. The straight-line number is still valuable, but it answers a different question from a route planner.

How to use these figures

If your starting point matches one of the documented reference points in the table, you can use that straight-line number as a geographic baseline. It helps you understand whether a place is regionally nearby, intermediate, or far away, while keeping in mind that the real route will be longer.

If your own origin is not one of the listed reference points, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the venue's fixed coordinates, 41.47388889 and -71.95805556, together with your own starting coordinates in a map tool that can report either great-circle distance or a route distance, depending on what you need.

For readers comparing broad regional position, the table shows Foxwoods much closer in straight-line terms to NYC at 118.9, Saratoga at 143.7, Lake George at 161.8, and Parx at 182.5 than to Chicago at 808.0, Houston at 1536.4, or Sacramento at 2592.5. That does not rank destinations or predict effort; it simply shows where the venue sits relative to named reference points in the published set.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm the changeable items that a location article cannot lock down. That includes the route you will use, current road conditions, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event schedules, and any venue access policies that may matter on the day you travel.

The authoritative current answers live in live-routing map services for route choice and on the venue's own contact, booking, parking, and event pages for property-specific details. Ownership, branding, room inventory, and amenity counts can also change over time, so treat the fixed geography here as stable and the operating details elsewhere as the current source of truth.

FAQ

Is Foxwoods Casino CT in a city or a rural area?

The documented location for Foxwoods Resort Casino is Ledyard, Connecticut. This article can state that fixed city and state and the venue coordinates, but it does not classify the surrounding area beyond what those published references support. If you need a current street-level sense of the setting, use a current map or satellite view centered on the venue coordinates.

Can this article tell me the driving distance from my home to Foxwoods?

No. This article only publishes documented straight-line, great-circle measurements for the reference-point pairs listed above, and road distance is always longer. If your starting point is not one of those listed places, use your own location in a route planner together with the venue's fixed coordinates or its city and state, Ledyard, Connecticut.

Does the table show every place that is near Foxwoods?

No. It shows every documented pair available in the published reference set used for this article, not every possible origin or destination. If the place you care about is not listed, that does not mean it is farther or closer than another place here; it only means this article cannot measure that specific pair.
