Foxwoods this weekend

In Providence for work Fri-Sun with a car. Dinner meetings until around 8 pm. If I get to the casino at 9 pm Friday and/or Saturday what kind of wait time will I have? How good will the games be? I'd be interested in limit up to 9/18, not sure what they run.

Also, for anyone in the know. On Saturday nite, would you pick WaterFire in Providence or Poker at Foxwoods?

Appreciate any help. Thanks, Mr. C.

Even if I was alone I'd pick WaterFire. Providence is simply a great small city and many of my fondest memories happened there (I grew up and lived in or near Middletown/Newport Rhode Island until I was 35 - I'm now 53).

I haven't seen WaterFire in season but took a daytime walk in the redeveloped area with close college friend and 2+2 poster John Cole a couple years back. That section of town is very safe and there are plenty of places to have a drink or get something to eat.

Good nearby bar: Hot Club

Music: Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel if someone good is playing.

Late night snack with funky atmosphere: Haven Brothers

Wish I could trade one night where you are versus one night within 25 to 35 minutes driving distance to every major LA club (my current location)

Going to Foxwoods on a Saturday night at that time hoping to find a decent seat sounds like hell on Earth.
