Mohegan Sun Hotel & Casino

Mohegan Sun Hotel & Casino

Mohegan Sun is a great experience, not to mention an expensive one. As much as it’s convenient and a wonderful place to stay, I’m not sure it’s worth $420/night (weekend)--that’s $375 and an unavoidable 12% tax.

 

Surprisingly, check-in was a breeze. I’ve been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and hotel check-in at both gambling meccas is generally a long ordeal. The staff was extremely friendly, and my sister and I were given a room on the 22nd floor with a wonderful view.

 

The room was extremely spacious, with two queen-size beds and a nicely appointed bathroom. I wasn’t too fond of the bathroom pocket doors, but I do admit that it did save on space. We never seemed to wait long for an elevator, and noise was not an issue at this hotel by any means. Come to think of it, I don’t think we ever passed anyone in the hallway.

 

Mohegan Sun is rather self-contained, which has its pluses and minuses. It’s nice knowing you don’t have to trek to another casino to eat or to gamble, but it does something to your psyche knowing there’s nothing else on the other side of those big glass doors. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from and more than enough gaming to keep you busy, but it does lack the energy of Las Vegas. If I had to choose a word to describe Mohegan Sun, I’d have to choose "sedate."

 

For some odd reason, you can’t walk around the hotel or casino with an open bottle of beer; it must be poured into a glass. I’m not sure if that’s a Connecticut thing, an American Indian thing, or just a Mohegan Sun safety thing, but to me, a glass is just as dangerous as a beer bottle.

 

A nice touch is that the points you earn on your Players Club card can be used at any of the merchants located on the property and can be applied towards a room, food, beverages, and gifts. It’s a nice change, but that means pit bosses can no longer comp rooms--I suppose that makes their lives much easier.

 

All in all, I’d recommend Mohegan Sun to anyone on the East Coast for a nice gambling experience, but your wallet would be better off if you stayed somewhere else.
