Mashantucket Tribe announces new name for MGM part of casino

Thursday, April 3, 2014

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut announced a new name for a portion of its casino that was part of an agreement with MGM Resorts International.

The Fox Tower will replace the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. The tribe had licensed the MGM name as part of an expansion at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

“This transition is the first of many changes and development taking place at the resort,” Jason Guyot, the vice president of resort operations, said in a press release. “We are proud to announce this new name as it speaks to the Tribe’s long and storied history as the ‘Fox People’ and reconfirms our commitment to what the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe created over 22 years ago."

The tribe ended its relationship with MGM last October.
