Mohegan Sun Casino Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
The casino part is fun, I guess, but it is easy to get lost in it. With the lights and sounds blaring throughout the atmosphere, it's hard not to play. To get to anything else, you have to walk through the casino floor. The shopping area is awesome, with an eclectic assortment of shops with prices that resemble a high stakes gamble. The architecture is awesome too! Quick Tips: There are tons of things to do here, but if you go to the website (www.mohegansun.com) and see what's playing in the Wolf's Den, you might be able to catch a cool show. Otherwise, there is always a lot happening.Be...Read More

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream"

Quote:
After walking through the casino floor and getting sucked into the mayhem that is the gamblers den, we were craving some ice cream. Now I had heard, from my girlfriend, that the Ben & Jerry's here was bar none to any ice cream shop I had ever been to. So, off we went on our adventure for frozen treats.When we finally found the ice cream haven (after we got lost for a while - the place is huge!) the line resembled a snake since it was twisting a turning and almost never ending. So we jumped on the end of the line (we weren't the last ones for long since soon the word was out that we were here and people came from all around...or they just wanted ice cream...which ever comes second) and...Read More

Attraction

Quote:
While I was visiting my girlfriend's family in Connecticut, we decided to drive on over to Mohegan and do some gambling. This is never a good idea since no one ever really wins when they go to a casino, but we figured, why not, right? Unfortunately, our drive from eastern Connecticut to the casino was wrought with near disastrous weather. The rain was blanketing the car and the windshield wipers just couldn’t keep up. It was like an umbrella trying to cover a jet; it just didn’t work. We finally pulled off the road to get new wipers (after getting lost for a while in the back roads that are Uncasville, Connecticut) and to get our bearings. Then after we get the new wipers on, the rain lets up, of cour...Read More

Attraction | "OdySea"

Quote:
While walking around the mall section of the casino, my girlfriend and I came across a store front whose walls were nothing more than a giant fish tank. There were hundreds of fishes swimming around in this gigantic tank, enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame among the children of the casino. Inside the store, the merchandise was a little less impressive than the front window, but still interesting. This place is geared more towards the upper echelon of the Connecticut consumer world. A lot of this stuff was beyond me, but some of it was really cool; circular tanks, millions of tropical fish, snakes, and fish type decorations at every corner of the far reaching store. This place wasn'...Read More

Attraction | "Spin Street"

Quote:
After witnessing the giant fish tank, and still wishing to work off that Ben & Jerry's, my girlfriend and myself decided to keep walking around. And after a little exploring, we came across a music memorabilia store right in the mall section called Spin Street.Here, they had everything from books, autographed posters, regular posters, records, old concert signs, guitars, and other music artist memorabilia. I made a b-line for the guitar (since I had been in the virgin islands for over a week, I missed my guitar). I played that thing as if we were some kind of lost lovers being reunited for the first time in decades. We then looked over the artist memorabilia and books. I love looki...Read More
