An 825-room hotel casino connected to Foxwoods by covered walkway, the MGM boasts 53 table games, 1,400 slots, an Asian-themed nightclub (Shrine), and a huge massage/wellness center called the G-Spa -- which, much to the frustration of female guests, you will wander around for hours trying to find.

Thurs thru Sun at 87 Franklin St, between Broadway and Church; 212.343.0692

Up to 80% off premium cardigans, tees, jeans, and button-downs from Alan's own collection, plus gear from Relwen -- who has defeated the wicked god Loki to bring you Ohio's finest casual-wear.
