Go to Foxwoods.
I think you couldn't pick a bigger week for Poker at Foxwoods all year.
My thoughts. (bias towards cheap easy)
Take a bus from NYC.
www.foxwoods.com/Resort/GettingHere/ByBus.aspx
Call and ask where all buses leave from.
(I say this for three reasons:
1. If you ain't from around here you might get lost and if you are on vacation it ain't worth the stress. (Foxwoods is like 2 hours outside of NYC, basically in the middle of nowhere.)
2. Free Buffett. Check to make sure what deal but for taking the bus you get some kind of deal or package. (Free Keno or Buffett)
3. Reason number 1 again
4. Tolls and gas. (If you take a car you could explore CT but I don't know what would interest you?)
