$55 MILLION RENOVATION PROJECT
"Next Generation of Foxwoods" in May 2008
Overview
Foxwoods Resort Casino announced a $55 million renovation project that will enhance both its culinary and retail offerings to guests. The project, which will seamlessly blend the guest experience between the soon-to-open MGM Grand at Foxwoods and Foxwoods proper, will bring two new dining experiences by David Burke. In addition, a new luxury retail corridor and 6,600-square-foot ultra-hip lounge will open when the project is completed next spring.
Award-winning Chef David Burke will bring his culinary and artistic talents with two new dining establishments, including David Burke Prime, a 13,000-square-foot steakhouse with 280 seats. The restaurant will also feature a 28-seat bar and 1,700-square-foot private banquet area accommodating up to 100 people. Not only will David Burke Prime be visually stunning, but it will offer oenophiles a choice of more than 5,000 bottles of premium wine from around the world.
A second dining outlet, the 2,700-square-foot Burke in the Box, will offer gourmet food to-go or to eat-in with 70 seats. The high-end fast-casual restaurant is modeled after the flagship Burke in the Box in Manhattan. With its signature packaging of pinstripe bags and brightly colored custom-designed boxes, Burke in the Box will serve sandwiches, salads and unique side dishes.
Guests will find a shopping experience like none other with an array of high-end boutique shops offering everything from designer watches and jewelry to luxury apparel, accessories and celebrity memorabilia. Each of the new retail outlets will be modern and open, utilizing a frameless glass design.
The concepts and designs will redefine the property, establishing a new, higher level of service, hospitality, excitement and energy.
