Before the fall season creeps in with its vibrant colors and cool winds, enjoy the few weekends left of summer by taking a road trip to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn.
Yes, Pop! fans, this means not attending the beach for a full weekend, (think of the sunburn it will save your skin) but Mohegan Sun has more than enough entertainment for the 21 plus crowd.
From the moment you set foot inside the doors of the giant hotel and casino, you are surrounded by waterfalls, intricate decorations made with mosaic tiles and of course, the cha-ching sound of money, being lost and won.
For those of you who don’t like to gamble the food options rock. They range from Big Bubba’s BBQ to Todd English’s restaurant Tuscany and my two favorites, Bobby’s Burger Palace, chef Bobby Flay’s restaurant, that serves, mouthwatering, made to order, burgers and The Dubliner an Irish Pub, where my favorite bartender, makes a mean raspberry mojito.
And if the slot machines, poker and roulette tables and food, still are not enough to keep you entertained, Mohegan Sun has a full line up of free concerts in their Wolf Den on a daily basis, as well as concerts and comedians that you can pay to see in their arena.
Check out the upcoming shows below and enjoy!
