MASHANTUCKET, CT (July 2, 2020) – Foxwoods Resort Casino, the largest resort casino in North America, is pleased to announce that it has once again expanded its resort footprint after initially reopening its doors on June 1, 2020. Following positive feedback and business levels, as well as guest and team member compliance of the resort’s new safety measures, Foxwoods is offering even more for guests to enjoy, just in time for the holiday weekend. The expansion includes the recent reintroduction of Stony Creek Brewery, which opened on June 24, as well as Rainmaker Casino, Great Cedar Hotel, Atrium Bar and VR experiences, which will open on Friday, July 3.
