It may seem an unlikely place to sell Apple products, but the Foxwoods Resort Casino (Conn.) is betting that the new MGM Grand hotel and resort opening there next year will be the perfect location for an authorized Apple reseller. The resort bills itself as the “world’s largest casino,” operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in upstate Connecticut. The resort announced today that they’ll soon open an Apple product kiosk in the retail area of the existing resort/casino.
