Mohegan Sun Newsroom

On July 1st, the Winter Parking Garage and Winter Entrance re-opens and Mohegan Sun is celebrating with a special 4-day promotion.  Thousands of new parking spaces will be available giving guests easy access and convenience to Mohegan Sun’s Winter Entrance and new food offerings.  This special Winter In July promotion will give guests entering the Winter Entrance from July 1st through the 4th an opportunity to win some great prizes.

“We are extremely excited to be re-opening the Winter Entrance, which as many people know, was one of the original entrances to Mohegan Sun and always one of the most popular with our guests,” said Mitchell Etess, President and Chief Executive Officer for Mohegan Sun. “We appreciate everyone’s patience during this modification time and know they will be thrilled with the new look and offerings. And what better way to celebrate this occasion than with a Pepe’s Pizza, a Bobby’s Burger Palace by chef Bobby Flay, or even better, with a special 4-day promotion designed around the winter theme.”

Guests parking in the winter garage from 7:00am through 7:00pm will receive an entry form into the drawing. Guests will have the opportunity to win great prizes like a Polaris Snowmobile, a two-night Ski package at Mount Washington as well as gift cards to Mohegan Sun and various stores within The Shops at Mohegan Sun including Yankee Candle, The Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store and The Golf Shop Store.

In addition to the great prizes, each day of this promotion, Mohegan Sun will also be giving away complimentary t-shirts to the first 1,000 people through the doors regardless of age.  Free snow cones and a special visit from a summer-time Santa will be part of the festivities as well.

The drawing will be held at 7:15pm on July 4th in the Spring Gateway located next to the Box Office. Guests need not be present to win.   Must be 21 or older to participate and be eligible for all prizes outside of the free t-shirts given to the first 1,000 visitors each day.  For more information on this and other exciting events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.
