Let the games begin

If you’re eager to get gaming, you’ve come to the right place, ’cause, as they say,it’s a world at play. The resort includes three world-class casinos—Casino of the Earth, Casino of the Sky and Casino of the Wind—featuring more than 5,000 slot machines and more than 300 table games. From Baccarat and Roulette to Pai Gow Tiles and Spanish 21, you can find more than 20 different games to try. Check out the famed Poker Room, a 24/7, 42-table gaming venue in Casino of the Wind. Whether you try it all or stick to your fave, we promise you’ll be having too much fun to care when you’re lucky streak runs out.

Change up the pace and celebrate the group’s wins at Clay Pipe. The dark-wood decor and comfy chairs entice guests to stay awhile, sipping select spirits neat or on the rocks, as they peruse the wall-to-wall cabinets loaded with cigars. Choose from vanilla or cherry-flavored smokes, floral or sweet, among others. The lounge’s most popular cigar, an Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe, will run you $7, and the priciest, a Dominican Davidoff, will set you back $45.  

Michael Jordan’s Steak House prides itself on elevating the food and dining experience to the Michael Jordan level. That basically guarantees every person in your party will leave feeling like they just had the best steak of their lives. We’re superfans of the garlic bread appetizer (hi, blue cheese fondue!) and the filet mignon. Order with abandon, and you won’t be disappointed. Cick here to reserve your table.

You can’t miss VISTA Lounge at Wombi Rock. Towering over the action at the center of Casino of the Sky, the two-story nightclub is built in part from beautiful stone and designed to look like a mountain. Head straight to the bar on the top floor for a gin-based Hidden Gem and, if you’re feeling lucky, make your way to one of the two private blackjack tables. Just don’t forget to peek straight up; the world’s largest indoor planetarium stretches above the venue and changes to mimic the sky outside.

Take in the classic New England hills and greenery on the resort’s 18-hole golf course. The sixth hole is especially picturesque: Recent renovations to the course have included a stunning waterfall installation to add even more Zen to your game. Individual and group instruction are available if your swing’s just not up to snuff. To book your tee times, click here.
