Foxwoods Resort Casino Mashantucket CT: Fixed Location and Straight-Line Distances

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.

If you are trying to place the venue on a map, the fixed point is what matters: Foxwoods Resort Casino is in Ledyard, Connecticut, at publicly published reference coordinates of 41.47388889 latitude and -71.95805556 longitude. The keyword uses Mashantucket CT, but the documented venue location here is Ledyard, Connecticut, and the article stays with that published location wording.

The fixed position of the venue

This venue is documented in Ledyard, in the state of Connecticut. Its coordinates place it in the northeastern United States, and the longitude shows it lies east of places such as Chicago, Charlotte, and Washington DC that appear in the distance matrix.

The latitude also places it north of reference points such as Daytona Beach, New Orleans, Houston, and San Antonio in the same matrix. That kind of north-south and east-west reading is one of the few things coordinates can support directly without drifting into unsupported route claims.

Publicly published reference sources describe Foxwoods Resort Casino as an integrated resort owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation located in Ledyard, Connecticut. Those same reference sources note that figures about resort facilities can change over time as properties are rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured.

Documented venue facts that help identify the place

For location-led reading, it helps to separate fixed identification facts from changeable visitor information. The fixed identification facts available here are the city and state, the coordinates, the documented opening year of 1992 for the original tower, and the documented owner statement naming the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.

Publicly published reference sources also attach some scale markers to the venue. The resort is described as covering 9,000,000 square feet, with 2,228 hotel rooms, more than 5,500 slot machines, and a cited figure of 53 table games in the sourced MGM Grand at Foxwoods amenities description.

Those numbers are best read as historical facility markers rather than promises about what a visitor will find on a specific day. They help explain that this is a large resort complex rather than a small standalone gaming room.

Straight-line distances in the published matrix

The table below lists every documented venue-to-reference pairing available for this venue. Every mileage figure is a great-circle measurement, which means straight-line rather than road distance.

Why straight-line distance and real travel diverge

A straight-line figure is useful because it fixes relative position without depending on a chosen route. It answers where one place sits relative to another in pure geometric terms.

Real travel is different because roads do not run as a single direct line between two coordinates. Road networks bend around built-up areas, property boundaries, water, and terrain, and they also reflect how bridges, junctions, and state-line crossings are arranged.

That is why publicly published reference sources include the caveat that these are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and that driving is always longer. For a trip plan, the current road route has to be checked on a live mapping service from your own starting point on the day you travel.

How to read the venue's regional position

Even without publishing any road route, the matrix helps place Foxwoods within a wider regional frame. It sits closer in straight-line terms to NYC at 118.9 miles, Saratoga at 143.7 miles, and Lake George at 161.8 miles than it does to Chicago at 808.0 miles or Houston at 1536.4 miles.

The same matrix shows that it lies far east of many central and western reference points, including Topeka Kansas at 1259.0 straight-line miles and Sacramento at 2592.5 straight-line miles. It also lies north of southern reference points such as Charlotte at 645.9 straight-line miles and Daytona Beach at 990.0 straight-line miles.

These comparisons do not tell you which route to take or how long a trip will take. They simply show the venue's fixed position inside a larger map of named places already present in the published distance matrix.

What to confirm before you go

Before leaving, confirm the changeable details that a fixed-location article cannot responsibly freeze in place. That includes the current road route from your own starting point, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event scheduling, venue access points, and any property-specific arrival instructions published on the venue's own contact or visitor information pages.

If your interest is only in where the property is, this article gives you the stable part: Ledyard, Connecticut, with coordinates at 41.47388889 and -71.95805556. If your interest is how to get there from a specific home, hotel, or airport, the correct place to verify that is a live map using your exact start point, because your location is changeable while the venue's location is fixed.
