Who has spent time in Connecticut without stopping by the incredible gaming and entertainment complex that is Mohegan Sun? Mohegan Sun located in Uncasville, Connecticut is the world’s second largest casino with 364,000 sq ft of gaming space. Enjoy a stay in the luxury hotel attached to Mohegan Sun.

Standing 34-stories tall with 1,200 luxury guest rooms and suites, the hotel at Mohegan Sun has been expertly designed to set a new standard of excellence.

For many years Mohegan Sun casino has been a bit in the shadow of its nearby neighbor, Foxwoods, the largest casino in the world, which is just a short 15-20 minutes away. Mohegan Sun and nearby Foxwoods Resort Casino have been rapidly expanding since they opened. Not only does the expansion bring Mohegan Sun’s gambling square footage to just shy of that offered by Foxwoods, it also adds unique attractions that appeal to gamblers and non-gamblers alike, including the world’s largest Planetarium Dome, a 10,000-seat arena, a 300-seat Cabaret (The Wolf Den) and more than 60 new shops and restaurants, including celebrity chef owned or run eateries such as Michael Jordan’s Steak House and Todd English’s Tuscany.

In August 2008 Mohegan Sun opened up its new casino, Casino of the Wind, to rave reviews.

An additional 45,000 square feet of gaming space and Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville restaurant were added to the already vast gaming facility.

The onsite spa, Elemis, has a number of luxurious and invigorating facials, massages and “exotic rituals and ceremonies” such as the Ceremony of the Sacred Sun designed to relax and tan. A romantic couples massage is highly recommended for your getaway experience. A member of the staff will teach you the finer skills necessary to continue your massage “therapy” at home. The pool and solarium are a great way to end your day before spending a quiet dinner just the two of you.

There is no shortage of nightlife available at Mohegan Sun. From The Dubliner, an Irish pub experience, to the Ultra 88 Night Club you and your partner can find yourselves reconnecting on the dance floor or chatting over a Guinness at a table tucked away in the corner. Of course, if you would rather just retire for the evening, the rooms are large and lavish right down to the terry bathrobes. The showers are pretty spectacular too! In the morning you will awake to breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and think back to an earlier time when life was just a little bit less hectic.
