Foxwoods, the nation's largest American Indian casino, is laying off 6 percent of its work force. The Connecticut resort, which is operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, is cutting 700 jobs from its staff of 11,000.

The cuts will also come from the 2,000 employees hired in May for the $700 million MGM Grand at Foxwoods, an 825-room hotel and casino expansion.
