The Mohegan Sun Casino is located in southeastern Connecticut
along the beautiful Thames River, near the cities of Norwich
and Mystic. It is one of two
Connecticut casinos
(the other one is Foxwoods
Casino). The Mohegan Sun Casino features 6,200 slot
machines and 300 gaming tables, with a total of 300,000
square feet of gaming space. Each week, the casino hosts
poker tournaments, featuring popular games such as Texas
Hold-em and Omaha High/Low. If you simply want to learn
how poker is played without watching a tournament, there
are dozens of cash poker tables available.
Connecticut casinos can be fun for the entire family, not just those of legal gambling age. If you have kids in tow, be sure to visit the world’s largest planetarium and Taughannick Falls, an indoor waterfall that is fifty-five feet tall. Also stop to marvel at Wombi Rock, a crystal mountain that is three stories tall! Both of these indoor attractions are located right inside of the casino. The Mohegan Sun Casino Connecticut also has an arena located right inside its facilities. The Mohegan Sun Arena is where Connecticut’s only major league sports team, the WNBA Connecticut Sun basketball team, plays. The Mohegan Sun Casino Connecticut arena also hosts other events, such as concerts, performances, festivals, and basketball tournaments.
If your plans call for a fun night out at Connecticut
casinos, the Mohegan Sun Casino Connecticut offers twelve
upbeat bars and lounges, ranging from casual venues to
more upscale options. The Ultra 88 Dance Club is the preferred
club for people who like Las
Vegas-style glamour and glitz, while Bow and Arrow
is a laid back sports bar that is well suited to sports
fans who want to enjoy a beer or two while watching sports
on a big screen TV. There are also two large buffets that
serve an impressive variety of high-quality international
cuisine.
After a fun night of game playing or dancing, retire
to a spacious 450-square-foot guestroom at the Mohegan
Sun Hotel. The next day, take advantage of other
things to do in the hotel, such as using the
fitness center, spa, or pool. These facilities are open
from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday
and from 6:00 a.m until 11:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
Although use of the pool is free, there is a daily
charge for using the fitness center and spa. The
Mohegan Sun Hotel even features a private eighteen-hole
golf course. There are also onsite child care services
for children up to the age of twelve for an hourly fee.
Connecticut casinos are
usually busiest in July and August. To beat the crowds
and get the best deals on Mohegan Sun hotel accommodations,
consider visiting the Mohegan Sun Casino in December,
January, or February. No trip to Connecticut would be
complete without making a trip to the nearby Foxwoods
Casino, the largest casino in the world. Both of these casinos
offer dozens of options in entertainment, dining, and
lodging, making for a complete experience.
