Your Luck Is Grand

---

For an undisturbed, stress free weekend getaway, MGM Grand at the Foxwoods Casino Resort is the ideal location. An escape that spares you of the nuisances of delayed flights, baggage fees, and toll booths. The drive to MGM is quite serene, particularly during the autumn season, surrounded by delightful hues of greens, oranges, and reds, in the fall foliage.
One thing to bear in mind when considering a weekend at MGM, is the high volume of guests that have the same goals at thought.  It is at times nearly impossible to reserve a room at the Resort, so calling MGM directly is far from the best notion. Contacting a V.I.P. host is highly suggested, for they will put their greatest effort towards accommodating your every need, including dinner and entertainment.
John Cammarata, V.I.P. host, of Shrine Asian Kitchen Lounge and Nightclub at MGM Grand is a master at assuring guests a well-accommodated and eventful stay at the resort.  Considering the brevity of your getaway, it is Cammarata’s great pleasure to make every hour of your stay at MGM a memorable one, his assistance as a host is essential for the ideal stay. The staff at MGM delights in the contentment of their guests, and the guidance of a Shrine V.I.P. host is entirely complimentary.
The check-in time at MGM is 5 p.m., however, you are welcomed to start your day at the resort much earlier; the front desk will gladly and safely hold your belongings so that you may take full advantage of your weekend at MGM.  An ideal place to start your stay would be a visit to the exquisite shops such as, Grand Effects, Panache, Macappeal, and Pandora, that host some the world’s finest brands.

Treats at MGM are quite abundant.  Gelato Cafe serves 24 flavors of their handcrafted Italian-style ice cream.  Gelato is not your only option at this Cafe; their delectable ice cream menu is accompanied by scrumptious bites, such as wraps, paninis, house-made pastries, and breakfast.
If the shopping and dining have not yet satisfied you, MGM’s 50,000 square foot casino may just be your lucky stop.  With 1,300 slot machines, and 60 table games, you have ample opportunities to take a chance.
Now that you have taken a tour of the resort, you are invited to go up to your room and get settled in.  In hopes that you are fortunate enough to have reserved a directors suite, you will be welcomed by spacious quarters, panoramic window walls, a king-size feather bed, an enormous walk-in closet, and a private sitting area.  For further indulgence, you will enjoy an exquisite master bathroom featuring a marble bath with five-fixtures, a rain fall shower, and a jacuzzi with a view of the forest as you prepare in luxury for a fantastic evening out.  Feel free to pamper yourself with a selection of the finest quality French Pascal Morabito toiletries.

Once settled, it is certain that your V.I.P. host has organized a medley of evening activities, starting with a delicious dinner at Shrine.  The decor and theme at Shrine is inspired by ancient Asian cultures, while the menu highlights the finest of Pan-Asian cuisine, prepared by executive chef Kevin Long. If you prefer the foods of Tuscany, Alta Strada is the ideal location for a perfectly prepared bowl of pasta.  For a steak of the finest caliber, Craftsteak offers a phenomenal selection, including corn-fed and grass-fed beef, as well as various cuts of Wagyu beef from Japan; this great craft is brought to you by Chef Tom Colicchio, of TV’s Top Chef fame.
If you are still filled with energy after dinner, it is quite likely that your V.I.P. host has recommended a show at the MGM Grand Theater, featuring hysterical stand-up comedy, or a concert by a top artist in the state of the art theater.
If you party the night away, then an electrifying evening of dancing and cocktails awaits you at the Scorpion Bar or Shrine.  The Scorpion Bar will have things stirring with its tequila bar. If you consider yourself a socialite, then a V.I.P. table at Shrine maybe more of your style.  If you are lucky you may be seated beside a celebrity or an athlete, which is a common happening at Shrine.
If the thought of waking in a plush king-size bed, overlooking the forest was serene, wait until you have experienced the G-Spa.  Upon walking into the spa, you are welcomed as though you have known their world class staff for years.  Whether looking to be relieved of aches, or are in dire need of relaxation and stress relief, full body massages are tailored to your wants and needs by highly-trained therapists; choosing from an array of techniques to ensure you receive excellent treatment.
Once your massage is complete you may walk into the G-Spa’s relaxation facilities where you will encounter a pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna.  You may stay within this relaxing atmosphere as long as you would like.  These areas are the perfect way to maximize and culminate your stay at the resort.
Although proximal to the Fairfield County area, the experience that you will have at the MGM Grand at the Foxwoods Casino Resort, will be the relaxing escape that you truly deserve.
