No matter the season, Mohegan Sun is always full of color, energy, and a sense of
luck in the air. Originally built in 1996, the resort and casino is a venerable
East Coast institution. Continuously
evolving, Mohegan Sun offers multiple award winning restaurants, a relaxing spa
and enough gambling to satisfy the most demanding high roller. Celebrating its
Sweet Sixteen Anniversary, now is the perfect time to visit.
Mohegan Sun is located in Uncansville, Connecticut, a few hours from New York, Massachusetts even DC. Here
you have a chance to try your luck and risk your wallet at three different
casinos; each with its own atmosphere and dynamic. The design features are
surely unique as they were done as a collaboration between some of the most
respected architectural firms.
CASINOS
Have you ever thought about
spending the night playing poker under the stars? That dream can be your
reality at Casino of the Sky where the beautiful planetarium ceiling right
above Wombi Rock is available for observation.
While enjoying the terrific view don’t forget to experience the newest
technology feature available to all guests – Shine
360°. Just step in and strike a pose. Shine
360° will capture a video of you from all angles. Think E’s Glam Cam. Don’t be
shy, just be creative and have fun. When you’re done you’ll have something to
share with your Facebook and Twitter buddies!
The most recent casino entry is
Casino of the Wind, a definite challenge for the designers since it’s hardly
possible to depict Wind. Indeed they did create a special windy mood there,
especially with a pretty cool animated water wall.
Casino of the Earth which may be called the patriarch is mainly known because
of the Wolf Den entertainment stage. This is one of the highlights at Mohegan
Sun. Aside from gaming guests can relax and enjoy great music, without a cover
charge, along with nonstop drinks.
Here
you’ll find hundreds of slots machine and endless game tables.
If you are a beginner don’t rush, stop at
different tables instead to feel one that clicks. When you find it – PLAY!
World

RESTAURANTS
Mohegan
Sun is also about the restaurants! With lots of choices you can select
something casual all the way up to fine dining. For delicious sandwiches,
burgers and grill specialties stop by Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. It’s perfect
for lunch since the ambiannce feels like a breath of fresh air and energizes you
for the rest of the day!
view.
No matter what don’t skip Soup of the Day. It’s truly magnificent. For a
more substantial dish try the BBQ Ribs, a slow cooked half rack of baby back
ribs grilled and served with French fries. Choose between South Pacific or spicy
Guava BBQ sauce. That dish is amazingly delicious and please don’t blame
yourself if at some point you catch yourself thinking of saving some for later.
Another option are the Chicken Wings, regular or boneless, tossed with Buffalo,
Jamaica Mistaica, or Thai chili sauce. It is served with veggie sticks and
appropriate dipping sauce. From our observation the most popular dish among the
starters is Volcano Nachos topped with chili, cheese, guacamole, sour cream,
jalapenos, tomato and scallions. We couldn’t begin to count how many orders of
those nachos we saw during our meal.
If you’re
in the mood for seafood, don’t think twice and go to Jasper White’s Summer
Shack. It’s a pretty cool place and another great stop for a lunch. Delicious
crabs, lobsters and shrimps, tasteful fried calamari and much more is waiting
for you! The place is casual enough but serves absolutely savory dishes!
For an
evening meal you would of course like to go to a place with elegant and
sophisticated atmosphere. Ballo Restaurant is your choice, offering
fine Italian cuisine. It’s classy and breathes beauty and harmony. Looking at
the menu, you can find traditional Italian dishes. We highly recommend Tagliatelly
Pasta with shrimps, cherry tomatoes and radicchio. It’s more than just
delightful. The spaghetti itself melts in your mouth and the combination of
additional ingredients just makes it heavenly.
Ballo serves lunch and dinner but
comes alive with a Late Night menu on Friday and Saturday nights! At that point
the restaurant is transformed into a sexy lounge with cocktails, lights and beautiful
dancers on the windows platforms. You don’t want to miss it! Apart from this
restaurant, Mohegan Sun has a plenty of other places to visit or just grab some
snacks, dessert or drinks. Speaking of drinks – don’t forget to try a milk
shake at Johnny Rockets!
Mohegan
Sun definitely works hard to deliver the best in entertainment, dining and
creating a relaxing atmosphere for all its guests. There is sumptuous spa and
plenty of shopping to be done. And a new golf course fulfills your outdoor
needs.
Don’t
wait too long and experience Mohegan Sun! No doubt you will leave refreshed, in
a great mood if you are lucky enough – with extra money in your pocket!
