Foxwoods Is Fixed in Ledyard; Bingo Times Are Not

The Number That Answers the Location Question First

Foxwoods Resort Casino sits 118.9 straight-line miles from New York City, a figure that fixes the venue's position without pretending to describe the drive. Straight-line, great-circle, or as-the-crow-flies distance is the shortest path between two points on a sphere; it is not the road you will travel.

Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. What it does publish is the venue's fixed geographic position and the straight-line distances from that position to the reference points supplied in the table below.

What the Question Asks

The query asks what time morning bingo starts at Foxwoods. That is a schedule question, and schedules are changeable. No start time for bingo, morning or otherwise, appears in the documented facts for this venue, so this article will not invent one.

What the article can do is anchor the venue in physical space, give the reader the coordinates and the documented facility figures, and explain where the authoritative current bingo schedule lives. The reader who wants the start time needs the property's own published schedule, not a distance explainer.

Where Foxwoods Sits

Foxwoods Resort Casino is located in Ledyard, Connecticut, on the reservation of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, which owns and operates the property. The documented coordinates are 41.47388889 latitude and -71.95805556 longitude.

From those coordinates, the venue sits northeast of New York City and southwest of Boston. Boston is 76.8 straight-line miles away, the closest major reference point in the supplied set, while New York City is 118.9 straight-line miles away. Both figures describe position, not commute.

Documented Facility Figures

The resort's scale matters to a reader trying to understand the physical place. Publicly published reference sources give the following figures as of the dates those sources were compiled; facilities are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.

The 1992 opening applies to the original Great Cedar tower. A second tower, the Grand Pequot Tower, opened in 1997, and a third opened in 2008 as the MGM Grand. The MGM affiliation ended in late 2013.

Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points

Every figure below is a great-circle distance from Foxwoods' documented coordinates to the documented coordinates of the reference point named. None of these figures is a road distance, and none implies a travel time.

Why Road Distance Is Always Longer

A straight-line figure cuts across terrain, water, and political boundaries. The road network cannot. Southeastern Connecticut is shaped by rivers, forested ridges, and the coastline of Long Island Sound, and any route from a reference city to Ledyard must follow existing corridors rather than the geometric ideal.

Crossing state lines adds further length: a traveler from New York City must leave New York, enter Connecticut, and then navigate local roads to the reservation. From Boston, the route crosses Massachusetts into Connecticut. None of that shows up in a great-circle number, which is why the figure is labeled as it is and why road mileage is not published here.

If the Question Is About Your Location

When a query includes "from me" or "from my location," the starting point does not exist in any fixed dataset. The venue's position is fixed; the reader's position is not. This article therefore cannot compute a distance from an unknown origin.

What the reader can do is take the venue's documented coordinates, take their own coordinates from any map tool, and compute the great-circle distance themselves. The table above already gives the venue-to-reference-city pairs that are documented; any pair not in that table is not one this article can measure.

What to Confirm Before You Go

The bingo start time, the morning session schedule, and any admission or session pricing are changeable items held by the property, not by this article. The reader should check the venue's own published bingo schedule page or contact guest services through the channel listed on the property's contact page.

Facility figures such as room counts and machine counts are also revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so a reader planning around a specific amenity should confirm it with the property before traveling. The coordinates and the city and state do not change; schedules and counts do.

FAQ

Does this article state what time morning bingo starts at Foxwoods?

No. No bingo start time appears in the documented facts for this venue, and this article does not invent schedules. The authoritative current answer lives on the property's own published bingo schedule page or through its guest services channel. Start times change, and a fixed article is the wrong place to carry them.
