Fodor's Expert Review Mohegan Sun

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut, known as Wolf People, opened this casino just south of Norwich in 1996; today, it has more than 300,000 square feet of gaming space in three casino areas, totaling nearly 5,000 slot machines and more than 300 gaming tables. Also part of the complex: the Kids Quest/Cyber Quest family entertainment center, a shopping mall with 32 retail stores, 43 dining options, 19 bars and lounges, and two high-rise luxury hotels—each with a pool and a full-service spa. The 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, home to the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, draws major performances; bands play in the Wolf Den nearly every night; Comix Roadhouse presents comedy acts, as the name implies, and country music; and the 175,000-square-foot Earth Expo & Convention Center holds events.
