Mohegan Sun Arena and Beauty & Essex featured in Yankee Magazine’s 2025 Travel Guide, spotlighting the resort’s standout entertainment and dining experiences
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 16, 2025) – Mohegan Sun continues to cement its status as a must-visit Northeast destination, earning top honors in Yankee Magazine’s “Best of New England” 2025 Travel Guide. The publication named Mohegan Sun Arena a winner among the “10 Best Things to Do in Connecticut This Summer” and recognized Beauty & Essex as the state’s “Best Immersive Dining Experience.”
“We’ve worked hard to create an all-encompassing destination where guests can enjoy nationally touring performers, chef-driven dining, luxury hotel accommodations and vibrant nightlife, all without leaving the resort,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “To have both Mohegan Sun Arena and Beauty & Essex recognized by Yankee Magazine is a great reflection of the memorable moments we strive to deliver throughout the property.”
These awards follow a series of recent accolades for Mohegan Sun Arena, including Pollstar, Billboard, Newsweek and the Academy of Country Music. The 10,000-seat venue draws more than 700,000 guests and hosts over 120 events annually, consistently selling out headline shows and offering fans an all-in-one entertainment experience.
Upcoming arena concerts include James Arthur (June 29), Rod Stewart (July 25), Old Dominion (Aug. 22), Eric Clapton (Sept. 20) and longtime Mohegan Sun Arena favorites, The Jonas Brothers (Nov. 14). Adding to the excitement are can’t-miss moments beyond the music, such as stand-up powerhouse Sebastian Maniscalco on Sept. 13. The Connecticut Sun also have thrilling home games inside Mohegan Sun Arena throughout the summer including games against the Dallas Wings (June 20), Las Vegas Aces (July 6), Seattle Storm (July 9), Los Angeles Sparks (July 24), New York Liberty (Aug. 4), and more.
The recognition also spotlights the resort’s exceptional culinary scene, with Beauty & Essex awarded the “Best Immersive Dining Experience” by Yankee Magazine. Known for its hidden entrance through a working pawn shop, glamorous interiors and globally inspired menu, this speakeasy-style concept has quickly become a highlight of Mohegan Sun’s dining portfolio since its debut in February.
The 7,000-square-foot space is divided into four unique spaces, from the jewel-toned Pearl Lounge to a dramatic chandelier-lit dining room, each with a distinct mood and sensory experience. Helmed by celebrity chef Chris Santos, the menu showcases inventive, shareable dishes that elevate familiar flavors. Highlights include the signature grilled cheese, smoked bacon & tomato soup dumplings, oven-roasted bone-in filet and an indulgent three-pound lobster stuffed with crab and shrimp.
“Sharing the ‘Best of New England’ is a non-stop mission for our team of Yankee editors and expert in-state contributors,” said Kim Knox Beckius, Travel Editor at Yankee Magazine. “We believe, more than ever, in the value of authentic guidance and want our readers to have pinnacle experiences here in New England. That’s what led us to honor both the Mohegan Sun Arena and Beauty & Essex in this year’s Travel Guide issue.”
The “Best of New England” distinction is a meaningful and trusted endorsement from a publication that has championed the spirit of New England for more than 90 years. Curated by editors with deep local expertise, the annual guide highlights standout destinations and experiences that reflect the region’s ongoing momentum in tourism and cultural appeal.
