Ledyard, Connecticut: Foxwoods

Raise your hand if you thought 50 years ago that Ledyard, Connecticut, would host the Northeast's largest casino. In fact, it took less than half of that time. 

What, no hands?

It's tough to tell if this or Las Vegas is a more unlikely place for such a huge facility, but Foxwoods obviously is here to stay. It's grown to an incredible size in its relatively short history, and is becoming more of a resort than just a place to lose dimes and quarters at the slot machines. 

There are some restaurants with connections to celebrities, and some decent musical acts pass through the facility every so often. You should at least walk through the place once if you are nearby.

Here's what it looks like around the holidays:
