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.
