Sultry Saturdays kick off the weekend during Hot Summer Fun
There is no hotter place to party than in the Sun this summer. Mohegan Sun has some of the premier party spots in the
region all under one roof and during Sultry Saturdays during Hot Summer Fun, nightlife is the name of the game.
Beginning June 29th, Sultry Saturdays add to the Hot Summer Fun weekly line up, putting Mohegan Sun nightlife spots on display. Whether you want to grab your closest girlfriends and party outside or you and your buddies would rather get wild inside, there is something for everyone at Mohegan Sun on Saturdays after the sun goes down this summer.
GLO at the Pool
The region’s only nighttime pool party, GLO at the Pool lets guests party under the New England stars on the third floor pool terrace of the hotel. Equipped with VIP cabanas, a fire pit and two new blackjack tables, party with live DJs and dancers every Thursday and Saturday until the end of August.
MIST
One of the newest additions to the Mohegan Sun nightlife family is MIST, a contemporary venue that sits beneath the 3-story water wall in Casino of the Wind. Party in this steamy venue this summer amidst rolling fog, VIP areas and dancers.
VISTA Lounge at Wombi Rock
VISTA Lounge at Wombi Rock is a true ultra lounge nestled in the quartz structure in Casino of the Sky underneath the world’s largest indoor planetarium dome. Grab a cocktail amongst the stars and cozy up in one of VISTA’s private alcoves, grab a partner and dance on the newly-renovated dance floor or play at one of the blackjack tables open for play!
The Lansdowne Irish Pub & Music House
Opened at the end of December, The Lansdowne Irish Pub & Music House is an Irish public house in the middle of Mohegan Sun. Grab a pint, sample some of the amazing pub fare and put some luck of the Irish back into your Saturday nights!
Ballo Social Club
When Ballo Italian Restaurant turns into a Social Club every Saturday night, party like you are in the heart of Italy. In a space that resembles a Gothic abbey, grab a drink and dance on anything from tabletops to window platforms as DJs spin during Sultry Saturdays this summer.
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere inside Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville in Casino of the Wind. This home to the Cheeseburger in Paradise is a Parrothead’s dream. Choose from dozens of frozen concoctions or catch a live performance on the concert stage, all in the same venue!

Virgil’s Mohegan Sun is Now Open!
Barbecue lovers rejoice! True southern barbecue has landed in Connecticut, just in time for summer. Virgil’s Real BBQ, a haven for barbecue fans throughout Manhattan for nearly a decade, brings together the varied barbecue styles of Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas and beyond. The opening of their third location, this time at Mohegan Sun, adds
another delicious destination for Virgil’s and barbecue aficionados.
Known for their warm service, Southern-style barbecue and festive atmosphere, Virgil’s celebrated the pre-grand opening by treating 1,000 lucky diners to a complimentary meal at the sprawling 225-seat space at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut (located in the upper level of The Shops concourse). Now open to the public for lunch and dinner, casino-goers, hotel patrons, and locals alike can enjoy something for everyone, including Virgil’s famous comfort-food favorites, smoked meats, and vegetarian dishes.
True barbecue through and through, Virgil’s smokes all of their meats at a low temperature over indirect heat for up to ten hours with a unique mix of hickory, oak and fruit woods in two massive twin Southern Pride Smokers, in order to impart the most flavor. In turn, 80% of Virgil’s menu has a smoked element to it, including the mouthwatering Carolina Pulled Pork, Memphis Style Pork Spare Ribs and Barbecue Shrimp. To complement their BBQ specialties, the restaurant also offers a generous selection of sides made from scratch, including their warm and dense Buttermilk Biscuits, Cheddar Cheese Grits, Hickory Pit Baked Beans, and mustard-laced Coleslaw. Barbecue-inspired sandwiches and salads such as the Southern Chicken Caesar Salad with roasted corn salsa and biscuit croutons and Sliced Texas Beef Brisket sandwich on a sesame bun are also menu favorites.
To wash it all down, Virgil’s beer list is about as comprehensive as they come. They serve 16 beers on tap, including Virgil’s own recipe lager brewed by Magic Hat Brewery in Burlington, Vermont which is available by the glass, pint or growler, and 35 bottled beers in every style to match any mood or plate, from Lambics and wheat beers to porters and stouts, and everything in between. In addition, Virgil’s extensive selection of bourbons, scotches and specialty cocktails are sure to quench any barbecue-induced thirst.
Virgil’s fired up its pits and opened its doors in 1994 in New York City, after founder Artie Cutler traveled the back roads of the South sampling barbecue’s varied regional interpretations. Virgil’s was born shortly thereafter, melding together different styles from across the country, and arguably became the first restaurant in Manhattan to offer traditional Southern barbecue and hospitality. The award-winning restaurant expanded in November 2010, bringing its mouthwatering dining experience to the Bahamas with the opening of Virgil’s Real Barbecue location at Atlantis.
