HOW MUCH DO YOU REMEMBER?

So, I was thinking about the good old days when Foxwoods first opened.  Here's a fun little quiz I put together for those of you who have been visiting for a while.  See if you can remember the changes that have taken place.  Cheat, cheat, never beat - so look at the answers afterward at the bottom.


1) True or false - before MGM Grand was built, there was nothing but woods in that spot.


2) Where was the original Bingo Hall?


3) Which hotel was built first?


4)  True or false - the High Rollers Bowling alley was the original space for the Cedars Steakhouse.


5)  True or false - Foxwoods / MGM is the largest gaming complex in the western hemisphere.


6) What was the original name of the rewards club?


7)  Who was the presiding performer for the opening of the Fox theater?


8)  True or false - The "Atrium" Lounge was the first lounge with entertainment.


9)  Before the Downstairs Poker Room was a poker room, what was it?


10)  Guess what year the 1,000,000,000th bus passenger arrived at Foxwoods - was it:
                                                    1999,  2003 or 2006?


ANSWERS: 1) False, it was a parking lot.  RV's also parked there   2)  What is now called the Festival Slots Casino.  I even saw a few boxing matches there before the Fox theater was built   3) The Grand Cedars Hotel   4) False - it was originally convention / ballroom space   5)  False!  A few years ago the WinStar World Casino was built in Oklahoma. and is the largest in the western hemisphere.  The largest casino in the world? - The Venetian in Macao, China.   6)  The Wampum Club   7) Old Blue Eyes - Frank Sinatra   8) True   9) It was just another casino area - I believe it was non-smoking for a while 10) 1999




How'd ja do?  I hope it triggered some royal memories of your own.  That's all for now!
