Foxwoods? GON or WST???

You're a pilot, and you have money to give to the casinos? Guess flying
isn't as expensive as folks have been saying it is.

Coming in from cape cod...
which airport would best serve the Casino's?

Thanks, Mark

I called Foxwoods a year ago because I was going to take a friend up there -
he has a hankering for throwing money away at gambling places. They refused
to pick me up at the airport - even when I asked if they would send over the
bus/shuttle that comes from one of the ferries (I forget which). I told
them that it was probably bad public relations to refuse to pick up people
who flew in to gamble.

(I doubt they knew I was a broke pilot and my friend hardly qualifies as a
high roller)

Oh well, maybe I have seen "Casino" too often and expect too much. I think
a regular hotel would have sent a vehicle - obviously they are making enough
money without my few dollars.

Skip it - spend the time and money somewhere else is my advice.

I had the same issue at Atlantic City, BADER FIELD, just a short ride
from any of the casinos. Called in advance and asked for a pickup.
They first wanted to know if I had a membership (i.e. rating) card.
No. So, there answer was 'no'. I wanted a ride to the Taj, which is
a bit too far to walk. They wouldn't come get me. So, I walked to
the Trop and stuck with the Southern casinos. Money talks. I walked.
