Providing panoramic views of the surrounding New England countryside from its 1,500+ guest rooms, Mohegan Sun – as opened in 1996 – is simultaneously close enough to the action and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city it is very drivable from New York City, Hartford or Boston. Beyond its spread-out 364,000-square-feet of gambling space, Mohegan Sun’s on-site amenities include the Mandara Spa, multiple pools, fitness centers, a shopping arcade, a Golf Club, and a variety of live entertainment spaces that are a must for music fans. Operated by the Mohegan Tribe along 240 acres of reservation land situated along the banks of the Thames River in Uncasville, Connecticut, the Mohegan Sun casino and resort is widely thought of as the East Coast's hot spot for both gambling and live music.
