Shamus--

They are about 7 miles apart, through the back roads (Mohegan Sun is about 7 miles further west than Foxwoods). Comp rooms are tougher to come by at Mohegan Sun. I usually go up to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun twice a year (going next week to both) and always get my room free at Foxwoods, but have to pay (discounted price) at Mohegan Sun. Foxwoods has more slots, especially with the new MGM Grand now open. Foxwoods layout has about 5 different slot rooms throughout the whole complex. Mohegan Sun has 2 large slot rooms. Other than that, there really is no difference between the two, in my opinion. According to Casino Player magazine, their payout percentages are almost identical--within a fraction of each other.
