Foxwoods' Fixed Position and the Bingo Question

The question of whether Foxwoods has bingo is a question about current programming, and this article does not publish schedules or event lineups. What this article can do is place the venue precisely: Foxwoods Resort Casino sits at 41.47388889, -71.95805556, in Ledyard, Connecticut, and the straight-line distance from New York City is 118.9 miles. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

Foxwoods is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut. The resort opened in 1992. Publicly published reference sources document 5,500 slot machines, 2,228 hotel rooms, and 53 table games at a point in time, though figures like these are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.

Where the venue sits

Foxwoods is in Ledyard, Connecticut, in the southeastern part of the state. The coordinates place it north of Long Island Sound and east of the Connecticut River. The nearest large city in the supplied reference set is Boston, at 76.8 straight-line miles, followed by New York City at 118.9 straight-line miles.

The venue is part of a region where several casino properties sit within a few hundred straight-line miles of one another. Turning Stone is 217.4 straight-line miles away, and the Atlantic City cluster is roughly 195 straight-line miles away. These are great-circle figures, not road distances.

Documented straight-line distances

The following table lists every reference point for which a straight-line distance to Foxwoods is documented. All figures are great-circle measurements, not driving miles. A road trip will always be longer.

Why straight-line distance is not road distance

A great-circle figure is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate pairs. A road vehicle cannot travel that path. The actual route follows highways, local roads, and bridges, and it bends around natural and built obstacles.

For Foxwoods, the surrounding terrain and water shape the road network. Long Island Sound sits south of the venue, and the Connecticut and Thames rivers cut through the region. A driver heading toward New York City or Long Island must cross a bridge or take a longer inland route. A driver heading toward Boston or Providence follows a network that curves around hills and state boundaries. None of those road miles appear in this article.

Crossing a state line also changes the road picture. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts meet near the venue, and a trip that is short on a map may involve a longer posted route. The only honest statement this article can make is that every driving distance is longer than the straight-line figure, and the reader should measure the road route from their own starting point.

How to measure from your own location

The venue's position is fixed. Your starting point is not. If a question asks for the distance "from me" or "from my location," this article cannot resolve that reference point and will not guess a city. What the reader can do is take the venue's coordinates, 41.47388889, -71.95805556, and measure from their own address in any mapping tool.

For a road route, the reader should use a mapping service that accepts two addresses and returns a driving route. For a straight-line figure, the reader can use a distance calculator that accepts latitude and longitude pairs. The table above already supplies the straight-line figures for the reference points that are documented; any other pair is not one this article can measure.

What to confirm before you go

The bingo question belongs to the venue's current programming, and programming changes. The reader should check the venue's own published events page or contact its guest services line before travelling. The same applies to operating hours, game availability, and any schedule-based amenity.

Facility figures also change over time. The 5,500 slot machines, 2,228 hotel rooms, and 53 table games come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time. A reader planning a stay should confirm current room availability and amenity counts through the property's booking channel rather than relying on this article's figures.

The one fixed fact is the location. Foxwoods sits in Ledyard, Connecticut, on the reservation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and the straight-line distances in the table above are the only distance figures this article can state.
