Mohegan Sun Winefest 2023
We were so disappointed by the winefest show this year! The price was raised to $150 a ticket. They said small bites were included and larger portioned items could be purchased.
This went terribly wrong. The line for free bites were together with purchasing food lines. Lines were very long and free bites were exactly that super small and not worth waiting on line for. One food vendor gave you a crumb of cornbread after waiting on a 20 person line. Some food venders were running out of food.
There were not that many food vendors and the lines were crazy. Lines for food sold were super long and some items were up to $15-$20 dollars a portion. This is so different from pre COVID shows
My husband and I left hungry
Also the quality of the Wine vendors were definitely not as good as past years. I usually leave with pictures of Wine Labels I want to purchase. This year I left with no pictures, not one.
There were not enough chairs for food demonstrations watching
Hopefully next year they will get rid of free bites and lower ticket prices.

I love Mohegan Sun but I just can’t visit anymore. The smoke is overpowering even in the smoke free areas. Also, the awesome nightclub Mist is now gone and even if a slot machine is 1 cents, the minimum bet is at least 20 cents. Cyber Quest games were expensive and $50 lasted 30 minutes. Seasons buffet is pretty good. They sometimes give free tickets to events which is very much appreciated. I would go more often but the smoke is now just too much!

The Mohegan Sun is approximately 14 mins away from the Foxwoods resort so I was thrilled to visit them both during my one week mini vacation. I must say I had a wonderful time during my 2 days stay at the Mohegan Sun, it was short but sweet. However the casino payouts are very small, that's definitely the only thing I don't like at all, but the overall place is astonishing. Mask is required, each store has sanitizers and social distancing is enforced, after months of being home it feels great to be able to get out the house again, please wear your mask, have your santiziters and make the best of the current situation. Please Note the pic uploaded is from my visit in January 2020.. The pictures I took when I visited last month (June 2020) are on my laptop which I don't have access to right now.

I'm a frequent visitor, and I've got to say some of the drink waitresses are straight bit..es. More than twice in the Sky casino, near the promo area, I've played for over a half hour with no one offering drinks unlike Foxwoods. So one finally comes, but is rapidly walking past. I said excuse me, and she blew me off. So I walked in front of her and asked, politely, if she had a beer. She threw her hand in the air and started babbling that she was serving other people and walked away. I wanted to cause a scene so bad, but had to walk away. Don't count on complementary drinks at Mohegan.

Stayed in the Sky tower. The room was beautiful, modern amd clean. The shower was perfect and the bed was fabulous. Cleanliness is obviously a priority for this hotel.
There is a variety of restaurants for all tastes and cravings.
Two casinos to choose from with a sting of shops in between. Loved the ambiance of then entire site. Patrons taking pictures of the decor was a common sight.
We dined at MJ23, the Michael Jordan Sports Bar. The wings were perfect and the nachos were easily among the best I've ever had. Our waiter was very attentive and the manager even stopped by our table to check in. We will return for wings and nachos. Be aware....the nachos can feed 4. We only put a small dent in the tray of nachos
Fady was our dealer for Caribbean Stud and he was fantastic. Best dealer ever! Very personable. We also enjoyed the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation slot.
My only complaint is that they told me I couldn't stand behind my fiance on Saturday but it was allowed on Friday night. Their rules are not consistent. I should be allowed to stand with my guy especially since only 3 can play at a table and players are spaced out.
Also one other thing missing was upbeat music. There is one section at Foxwoods that plays dance/Pop fin music at all times. I was missing that at Mohegan sun.
We would stay in this hotel again. If you are bringing the kids, there is a bowling alley and an arcade.

Wonderful casino with easy access to food and shops. Highly recommend. Free parking. Highly recommend going to Mohegan Native museum, which is free and just a couple of minutes away. Small museum with free guides and wonderful historic talk..free!

Absolutely breathtaking beauty inside with so much color and earthy feel, you really enjoy just being there. We're not big into casinos but we did come here twice for a few hours while on a mini-vacation staying at a nearby hotel, and played some slot machines and ate at a couple restaurants, of which there are many to choose. MJ23 Sports Bar was exceptional. I've only been to a few casinos in the past but I have to say this one is different. The design is really something special, it's almost like you're stepping inside a big work of art.

I am a “Soar” level player of their “Momentum” players club. It is the top level and not easy to attain. Unfortunately there is little or no reason to try to renew your player status. There are no concerts and thus no comp tickets. The VIP Check in area, “Aspire” only recently reopened and the hors d'oeuvres and champagne offered at check in are gone (supposedly because of COVID yet they give you drinks on the gaming floor). Apparently serving in the VIP lounge is a danger but on the gaming floor it is ok.
The higher end “Aspire” rooms on the upper floors are still closed yet the hotel has been sold out on more than one occasion.
The valet parking is still closed, supposedly due to COVID. Yet a recent trip to visit someone at Hartford Hospital revealed that their valet is open! The resort doesn’t do it but the hospital does. Go figure.
All of their VIP lounges are closed except one and that is only for Soar members. I managed to get a table once in five visits because the line was almost an hour long. I saved myself money waiting in line.
The lines at the casino cages are also far too long. HINT: Any Vegas casino manager will tell you that people waiting in lines aren’t losing money. Look at a line of 25 high level players and think about how much money they could be wagering instead just standing there. The same can be said of the long lines at the cages. There is no revenue to be had from people waiting in line.
Let’s face it, casinos are there to entertain you. They aren’t designed to give you money. The perks and the entertainment make it worthwhile. Yet even the gaming is different. You don’t get the same amount of play with your money. The sound of jackpots are few and far in between. I only play video poker, perhaps it is just those machines?
The perks are gone, the concerts are gone. The gaming isn’t fun. You may as well throw your money on the floor.

We stayed for three nights and were there to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The casino is huge with plenty of slot machines. My husband was quite happy with the poker room. Since he has mobility issues I really appreciate that I was able to reserve a scooter for him. The thing that impressed me the most was how genuinely friendly and helpful all the employees were. Everyone, from our arrival at the hotel valet, check-in and dining in the various restaurant made us feel welcome. Prior to the pandemic we would go to Vegas two or three times a year but this trip we decided to stay closer to home and I’m glad we did.

The thing I appreciate about Mohegan Sun is that there's a lot more to do here than simply gambling. Yes, the gambling aspect of the casino is the primary attraction, but there are plenty of other things: fine dining (yes, really!), plenty of shopping, and an incredibly large arena for a variety of hot shows - I've seen Lady Gaga, Chris Rock, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra all perform here over the years. There's a lot of free parking available to encourage you to stay for as long as possible. I'll add that if you are sensitive to flashing lights or smoke (smoking's allowed here), then you should be mindful of how much time you spend here.

I see many answers to this question are over a year old. Are there any $5 craps tables at Mohegan Sun currently?

We are coming to stay overnight at the Earth Tower. I know there is no valet parking right now. Check in is at 4pm but we will be getting there early. Can we part a few hours before check-in?

You can find keno on most of the machines located at the bars. They have poker, slots, black jack, and keno.
The bars are located throughout the casinos.
