Mohegan Sun Ready to Be Bigger

The Mohegan Sun is ready to open the first phase of their expansion to their slot machine casino. They have been working on the first part of their $925 million expansion of their Casino of the Wind – and locals cannot wait to see what all they have done.

The Connecticut slot machine casino is already one of the largest casinos in the world, and they are coming hot on the heels of their local rival’s expansion. Foxwoods opened their MGM Grand addition earlier this spring, and has been pulling more than their fair share of gamblers due to it.

The Mohegan Sun hopes to turn all of that around by adding 650 slot machines, 28 table games, and a 42 table poker room. They will also be adding Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville to the lineup on September 29th. They have also booked numerous musical acts such as The Who, Janet Jackson, and Enrique Iglesias for next month to help them celebrate the opening.

They are hoping that in this economy that the slot machine casino will be a nice distraction for many. They are also hoping that they prove to be more of a distraction than their neighbor is. They say that with the expansion and the shows, that they are truly a vacation destination for many. They believe that they were not always seen that way, but now they definitely will be.

It would seem that you would be hard pressed not to find something of interest at the new casino. Even if you aren’t a slot machine or gambling fan, the attractions are more than enough to keep you excited about being there.
