Northeast · Casino trip

Connecticut casino region

Two destination resorts, one short drive. Mohegan Sun (Uncasville) and Foxwoods (Mashantucket) sit on the I-395 corridor in southeastern Connecticut — between New York, Boston, Providence, and Hartford. This page is how to choose one property or treat them as a two-stop weekend. It is not a third brochure.

Drive times as ranges, not GPS theater: NYC about 2½–3½ hours, Boston 1½–2½, Providence or Hartford about an hour, Bradley or T.F. Green about an hour from the airports. The two resorts are roughly 15–20 minutes apart. A car is the honest default. Bus tours exist. A train still leaves you short of either driveway. Fly in via BDL or PVD — search both below.

Stay at one if you want a simple weekend. Hop if you want the arena one night and the museum or the other floor the next. Parking is on-site at both; winter storms on I-395 are the real delay, not the miles between them.

This is the practical Northeast alternative to a cross-country Las Vegas flight. Trip type: Casinos.

Get there

Two airports, one corridor. Bradley (BDL, Hartford) is the in-state field. T.F. Green (PVD, Providence) is often closer to Foxwoods (~41 miles). The resorts are about 10 miles / 15–20 minutes apart, so either airport works for a two-stop weekend. Last mile: rental car.

Bradley International Airport

BDL

Windsor Locks / Hartford, CT.

The natural in-state airport if you are coming in on the Hartford side.

T.F. Green International Airport

PVD

Warwick / Providence, RI.

Often closer to Foxwoods (~41 miles). Still a short hop to Mohegan Sun.
