I wouldn't call Foxwoods tasteful and conservative though, merely less extreme than Vegas. You can't beat Vegas. As for leaving when you did, that sounds about right.

I had the opposite experience: I passed by Foxwoods while on vacation one time and stopped in, but was disappointed at how conservative and tasteful it was: casinos are supposed to be gaudy and tacky, dammit! I also managed to turn 75 cents into $5.00 in the first two minutes, at which point I figured I should walk away while I was ahead, so I did.
