This is estetically one of the loveliest casinos in the US. It is artistically pleasing and so well done, that it is almost museum like quality. You hardly notice that you are in a casino until you hear the awful sounds of the jingle jangle that can only come from a gambling hall.
This Mohegan Sun is set in a place that is not easy to get to. Uncasville is a place I had never been, even though I had lived all over the state in over 30 years.
However, once you come upon it, this place is absolutely charming.
I find it to be on a par with one other place - Mystic Lake in Minnesota.
The food is fabulous there. I strongly suggest that you try their buffet. I am not much of a buffet fan, however, the night we were there the food was simply fabulous. Several entrees,many good vegetables and lots of salads and healthy things to choose from.
This is a place where natural wood, special lighting and austere but brilliant artwork gets your immediate attention. This is not a casino, per se, but a museum of wonderful Native American art housing a casino.
There are many different gaming slots in the casino itself and the day we were there, people were hitting very well.
My problem was that there were TOO many people there for me. Also, I find it very hard to see little kids sitting outside of the casino, since Connecticut does not allow children in casinos, who were watching their little siblings. I find that deplorable and a serious offense to the safety of children.
This facility is worth seeing. The artwork alone is worthy of a visit, plus they seem to have an enormous capacity to consistently expand this facility. On the weekends, there are older big name groups who play there and since the areas where they play are cordoned off, but open, you can play and enjoy the music.
Make it a nice long weekend and find yourself a place to stay nearby on or site and have a wonderful and restful time.
