Foxwoods Bingo and the Fixed Point on the Map

Foxwoods Resort Casino sits 118.9 straight-line miles from New York City, a figure that describes the shortest possible path across the earth's surface, not a road trip. The venue's position is fixed at 41.47388889 degrees north latitude and -71.95805556 degrees west longitude in Ledyard, Connecticut, and every other distance in this article is measured from that single point.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. A great-circle measurement ignores the roads, bridges, hills, and state lines that a car must cross, so the number that matters for a traveler is the one shown on a mapping tool, not the one in the table below.

The Fixed Position and Its Regional Frame

Foxwoods is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut. The venue opened in 1992 with the Great Cedar tower, and the resort has since expanded to include multiple hotel towers and six casinos across a documented 9,000,000 square feet of resort space.

In regional terms, the coordinates place Foxwoods in the southeastern part of Connecticut, east of the Connecticut River and north of the Long Island Sound coastline. The nearest major reference point in the supplied distance set is Boston at 76.8 straight-line miles, followed by New York City at 118.9 straight-line miles. The venue sits closer to Boston than to New York City in great-circle terms, though neither figure describes the actual drive.

Why Straight-Line Distance Misleads a Traveler

A great-circle distance is the length of the shortest arc between two points on a sphere. It is a useful way to compare relative proximity across many cities at once, but it has no direct relationship to the route a driver follows. The gap between the straight-line figure and the road figure is created by four forces that vary from one route to the next.

• Terrain: Hills, ridges, and valleys force roads to curve and climb rather than follow a direct line.
• Water bodies: Rivers, lakes, and coastal inlets require bridges or ferries, and those crossings are rarely located on the straight-line path.
• Road network geometry: Highways connect population centers, not arbitrary coordinate pairs, so a route bends toward intermediate towns and junctions.
• State and municipal boundaries: Crossing from Connecticut into Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or New York adds route choices, toll considerations, and local road patterns that a great-circle line ignores.

For a reader planning a visit, the correct procedure is to enter the venue's documented city and state — Ledyard, Connecticut — into a mapping application from the reader's own starting address. The tool will return a road distance and a travel time that account for all four factors above.

Documented Straight-Line Distances

The table below lists every reference point for which a straight-line distance to Foxwoods has been published in the reference sources used for this article. All figures are great-circle measurements, expressed in miles, and none of them is a driving distance.

What the Venue Is and What This Article Cannot Say About Bingo

Foxwoods Resort Casino is an integrated resort owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation in Ledyard, Connecticut. Publicly published reference sources document 5,500 slot machines, 53 table games at the former MGM Grand section, and 2,228 hotel rooms across two hotel towers, with the resort covering 9,000,000 square feet and containing six casinos.

The query asks about a "birthday Tuesday" bingo event or promotion at Foxwoods. This article cannot describe any bingo schedule, birthday promotion, prize structure, entry requirement, or day-of-week event because no such fact is present in the reference sources used here. Promotions, event calendars, and bingo session details change frequently and are published by the venue through its own channels, not through a distance explainer.

What a reader can take from this article is the fixed geographic context: where Foxwoods sits, how far it lies in straight-line terms from major reference cities, and why the road trip is always longer than the table suggests. For the bingo-specific question, the authoritative current answer lives on the venue's own bingo page, its promotions calendar, or its guest services desk.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Several items change without notice and must be confirmed through the venue's own published channels before a reader travels. None of them can be answered from the fixed geographic facts in this article.

• Bingo session schedule: Days, times, and session formats are set by the venue and change seasonally or for special events.
• Birthday promotion terms: Eligibility windows, ID requirements, prize amounts, and whether the offer applies on a specific Tuesday or across a birthday month are all venue-set and changeable.
• Road route and travel time: A mapping application with the reader's actual starting address is the only source for driving distance and duration.
• Current facility figures: Room counts, machine counts, and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded; the figures in this article describe a documented point in time.
