Mohegan Sun is at 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd, Uncasville, CT 06382. It rates 4.5 from around 45,200 Google reviewers. It is one of the biggest casino resorts in the Northeast, on the banks of the Thames River in Uncasville.

Setting expectations

Mohegan Sun is built around a central, glass-domed atrium with casino areas, shops, dining and the arena all feeding off it. It is easier to navigate than a sprawling layout, but still large enough that a first visit needs a plan.

The resort is owned by the Mohegan Tribe, and it hosts concerts, sporting events and a busy calendar at its arena. On big-event nights the property fills up, so check what is on before you pick your dates.

It competes with Foxwoods, about 10 miles away. Mohegan Sun also runs a large events calendar, with headline concerts and sports in its arena, and a long list of shops and restaurants off the main concourse, so there is plenty to do between sessions at the tables. Mohegan Sun is the more compact and more polished of the two for many visitors, though both are large destinations.

What's on the floor

Slots. Slots are spread through several themed casino areas, from low-limit video machines to high-limit rooms. Each area has a different atmosphere, so try more than one before settling.

Tables. Expect blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat and specialty games, with higher-limit tables for bigger bankrolls. Minimums climb on weekend nights; early evenings are the easiest time to find a seat.

Poker. The Mohegan Sun poker room is open and runs cash games and tournaments, including seasonal events on the 2026 calendar. Check the poker desk for the current schedule and stakes.

Sports betting. FanDuel operates the retail sportsbook, which opened in the former race book space with a large video wall and a full bar. It is open daily with longer hours on big game days. Bettors must be 21.

Dining

  • Fine dining — the resort has a long list of upscale restaurants, including steakhouses and chef-driven spots; check the current directory on arrival.
  • Casual and quick — a food hall, counter service and cafes cover meals between sessions.
  • Sports bars and lounges — several bars show games on large screens.
  • Late-night options — some outlets stay open into the early hours; hours vary.

Restaurant lineups and hours change often. For a popular spot on a weekend or an arena night, reserve ahead.

Tips before you go

You must be 21 to gamble at Mohegan Sun.

Smoking. Smoking policies at Connecticut casinos have varied by area and over time, so ask the staff where the non-smoking sections are.

Check the arena calendar. Concert and game nights bring crowds and affect parking and restaurant waits.

Get oriented in the atrium. Most areas connect to it, which makes the layout simpler than it first looks.

Bring a valid photo ID. You will be asked for it at the door or the players club desk.

Set a budget before you walk in and keep to it. Play with money you can afford to spend, and take breaks.

Getting there

By car, Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, near Interstate 395 and Route 2A. It has large self-parking garages and valet. Traffic builds before and after arena events.

Without a car, regional bus and shuttle services connect nearby towns and rail stations. Check the resort's own transportation page for current routes.

Who it suits

Mohegan Sun suits couples and groups who want gaming, dining and live entertainment in one place, and sports fans who like a big-screen sportsbook. Poker players have a dedicated room.

It is a weaker fit if you want a quiet, small-scale casino. Even midweek, the resort has a lot going on.

Compared with Foxwoods, it is more compact and built around one central space, which many visitors find easier to navigate.
