Mohegan Sun
A large resort casino run by the Mohegan Tribe, with an indoor waterfall, a planetarium-style domed casino and a 10,000-seat arena for big shows.
Mohegan Sun is on the Thames River about 25 km northwest of Mystic and is operated by the Mohegan Tribe. Decorated with Native American themes that change with the seasons, it has an indoor artificial waterfall, a planetarium-style domed casino, an arena seating about 10,000 (often hosting major concerts and WNBA games), a shopping mall and dozens of restaurants, including several by celebrity chefs. Admission is free, and you must be 21 or older to gamble. It is worth setting aside a half day each for Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods.
