Foxwoods Casino Mashantucket: Fixed Location and Documented Straight-Line Distances

Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut sits 118.9 miles straight-line from NYC and Manhattan, 320.5 miles straight-line from Washington DC, 406.5 miles straight-line from Toronto, and 217.4 miles straight-line from Turning Stone. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point here is the venue, not the route. Publicly published reference sources place Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, at coordinates 41.47388889, -71.95805556, and those coordinates are the anchor for every documented distance listed below.

Where the venue is fixed on the map

For a reader searching "foxwoods casino mashantucket," the useful part is the venue's stable geography. The property is identified as Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, and publicly published reference sources describe it as owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation in Ledyard.

Those same reference sources also describe the resort as covering 9,000,000 square feet. Facility figures like floor area, room inventory, and gaming counts describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational snapshot, because properties can expand, reconfigure, or rebrand.

Documented straight-line distances

The distances below are great-circle measurements from the venue's documented coordinates to the injected reference points. They are useful for orientation, but they are not road miles and should not be read as driving distance.

Why straight-line distance and real travel distance differ

A great-circle figure is the shortest path across the earth's surface between two coordinate points. It ignores how roads are laid out, where bridges and water crossings exist, how state borders shape route choices, and where a traveler must detour around terrain or built-up areas.

That is why the same venue can be 118.9 miles straight-line from NYC yet require a longer road journey. Water bodies, irregular road networks, and route constraints all push real travel farther than the direct geometric line between the points.

The same principle scales up for longer pairs. A straight-line figure to Toronto, Chicago, San Antonio, or Sacramento is still just an orientation tool; it is not a substitute for checking a live map for the exact route from your starting point.

How to read the venue's regional position

The venue is in Ledyard, in the state of Connecticut. From the documented coordinates, it sits in the northeastern United States and in the eastern part of the country.

Because the coordinates are positive in latitude and negative in longitude, the site is north of the equator and west of the prime meridian. Within the United States, that places it in the Northeast rather than in the South, Midwest, or West.

The article cannot responsibly turn those coordinates into unsupported local route claims. What it can do is give the fixed point: Ledyard, Connecticut, with coordinates 41.47388889, -71.95805556, and a set of documented straight-line comparisons to many reference places.

How big the venue is at a documented point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe Foxwoods Resort Casino as a large integrated resort. The same source set attributes more than 5,500 slot machines, 2,228 hotel rooms, and an opening year of 1992 to the property, while a separate source sentence attributes 53 table games to amenities at MGM Grand at Foxwoods.

Those figures should be read carefully. Room counts, gaming inventories, and branded sub-property details can change as resorts expand, reconfigure space, or revise branding, so they are best used as context for scale rather than as a live operating checklist.

What this article can and cannot measure for your trip

If your question is "where is Foxwoods casino mashantucket," this article answers that with a fixed city, state, and coordinate point. If your question is a road trip question, the useful next step is to enter your own starting point into a current map service and compare it against the venue's documented coordinates.

If the exact pair you care about is not one of the reference points in the table, this article cannot measure that straight-line segment. In that case, use the listed coordinates for the venue and measure from your own start point on a mapping tool that lets you inspect both straight-line position and live routing.

What to confirm before you go

Before setting out, confirm the items that can change and that this article does not publish as fixed facts. That includes current road routing, parking arrangements, hotel availability, venue access points, event-day access rules, and any live amenity status within the resort.

The authoritative current answers are on the venue's own directions, booking, and guest-services channels, and on a current mapping service using the documented city, state, and coordinates. The most common misunderstanding is treating a straight-line figure as if it were road mileage; it is not.

FAQ

Is Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket or Ledyard?

How far is Foxwoods from New York City?

The documented figure available here is 118.9 miles straight-line from NYC, and the same 118.9 miles straight-line from Manhattan.
