There aren't many places more interesting than an American casino. Casinos come in all shapes, sizes, and styles ranging mega-casino complexes to dingy, run-down casinos to little card rooms in towns across the country. Offering all sorts of debauchery and ample people-watching opportunities, going to the casino can be incredible entertainment. This longread details the rise and fall of the Foxwoods, a massive casino complex in the Northeast. It's an insightful read not only for the specific story of the Foxwoods but also for the broader perspective it gives on the gaming industry.
