Mohegan Sun's 'Stimulus, Recovery and Rebound' Package

2009-02-05

New hotel packages, free entertainment, and good eats for cheap to keep your social life from a downturn
With a downed economy, everyone is looking for affordable options on everything from groceries and gas to leisure activities. At Mohegan Sun, we are providing one-stop shopping on a variety of affordable options from tasty treats and hotel stays to low-limit games and free entertainment.
Recently, the Northeast’s premier entertainment destination announced plans to have $5.00 minimum bet blackjack available 24/7.  But this is not a new concept for Mohegan Sun. It was the first gaming facility on the complete Eastern Shoreline to offer ½ cent slot machines in 2007 and became the only casino in the country to offer ¼ cent slot machines in 2008. More recently, Mohegan Sun announced ½ cent progressive slots with a jackpot totaling over $190,000.
For non-gamers looking for a steal, Mohegan Sun offers a bounty of options whether it’s a free show in the Wolf Den, a casual lunch for two at Birches Bar & Grill or a couple’s getaway.
Affordable Entertainment
Mohegan Sun’s original entertainment venue, the Wolf Den, rocks the house with free daily entertainment. From Country to Rock to DJs in the Den, the 300-seat venue offers a state-of-the-art sound system and full beverage service, all within an intimate setting. Guests must be 21 or older and seating is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In the 10,000-seat Arena, guests can see top concerts and sporting events without having to pay a heavy fee. Artists such as 3 Doors Down, Aaron Lewis and Fall Out Boy all have tickets available for upcoming shows at under $50.00 per ticket. Mohegan Sun Arena is also the home court for the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun. Tickets can be purchased individually starting at $16.00 per person, mini-plans at $100.00 per person and season passes at $255.00 per person.
From Tasty Treats to Super Sweet Deals
It might not be the dollar menu, but Mohegan Sun is serving up a number of affordable dishes at its 30-plus dining outlets. Whether it’s a three-course lunch special at Birches Bar & Grill for $15.00 or an Italian buffet served on the terrace at celebrity chef Todd English’s Tuscany for roughly $18.00, there is something for every appetite and budget at Mohegan Sun. The 130,000 square-foot Shops at Mohegan Sun is also home to over 30 top retailers. Guests can pick up a box of treats for their sweet at Godiva Chocolatier, a nick-knack at The Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store, or bath bomb at LUSH Cosmetics.
A Place to Getaway
In mid-January, Mohegan Sun unveiled seven new hotel packages including spa appointments, gourmet meals, romantic getaways and trips for gal pals, all at a value.  Complete details on these packages are available at mohegansun.com/staying – click on “special packages.” Some restrictions may apply; see website for complete details.
In addition, any guest that books a hotel reservation two weeks prior to their stay, will save $50.00 on the nightly rate. By planning ahead, guests can experience Mohegan Sun’s luxurious 4-diamon hotel at rates starting at just $99.00. Some restrictions apply, and this offer is not valid on hotel packages.  For more information visit mohegansun.com/staying and click on “special packages.”
Good as Cash
It pays to be a Player’s Club member. Each point earned is equivalent to one dollar in cash and can be used to purchase anything on property (excluding gaming) from dinner for two and tickets to a show, hotel stays at a 4-Diamond hotel, appointments at a world-class spa or gas at Mohegan Sun Mobil Gas Station & Convenience Center. Points can also be used at Mohegan Sun Travel to book the perfect getaway like a Caribbean cruise or tickets to a Broadway performance.
