The AAA-Four Diamond Award, one of the most sought-after designations in the hospitality industry, signifies that a property has committed to ensuring superior quality and exceptional customer satisfaction to AAA's 51 million members and the traveling public. The select AAA- Four Diamond status indicates that an establishment has measured up to AAA's uncompromising standards of excellence during a comprehensive evaluation by one of its professional inspectors. Extraordinary services, quality amenities, and superior surroundings are among the benchmarks that AAA Four Diamond Award winners must achieve.
"Following in the footsteps of Grand Pequot Tower, which has been recognized with the highly coveted AAA-Four Diamond distinction for seven straight years, we're thrilled that MGM Grand at Foxwoods has received such a prestigious accolade," said Michael Speller, President of the Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprises.

About the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation
The Mashantucket Pequots are a native Algonquin people in southeastern Connecticut, having endured centuries of conflict, survival, and continuity on and around one of America's oldest Indian reservations, established in 1666. As the first native people within the borders of the continental United States to suffer attempted genocidal massacre by Puritan Colonists in 1637, the Pequots and their repatriation is an unprecedented story of restoration exhibited in detail at the Tribe's world-class Museum and Research Center (www.pequotmuseum.org). Today the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation owns the largest resort casino in the world, Foxwoods Resort Casino (www.foxwoods.com), along with several other economic ventures including the Lake of Isles Golf Course (www.lakeofisles.com), a joint-venture partnership establishing the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, and Foxwoods Development Company dedicated to world-class resort development throughout the United States and Caribbean. All together, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation remains one of the State of Connecticut's highest tax payers and largest employers. Likewise, the Tribe provides significant financial contributions to state and local nonprofit organizations that support neighboring communities.
