Upcoming packages may also include Fleetwood Mac, Ariana Grande, and Miranda Lambert.
“Never before has a traveler been able to leave New York City – fly to Mohegan, enjoy a world class show, have a terrific dining experience, play in the casino and be back home in NYC by midnight,” says Evan Licht, General Manager of BLADE. “Our partnership with Mohegan Sun, allows us to extend the traffic-free BLADE experience to one of the area’s most sought after destinations.”
