Traveling to Mohegan Sun

Traveling to Mohegan Sun couldn't be easier - it's conveniently located between four major East Coast cities (New York, Boston, Hartford, and Providence) and less than an hour away from two international airports offering quick, direct flights from many U.S. cities.

Traveling by road is just as convenient. Nestled among the serene foothills of Southeastern Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is just minutes off Interstate 95, offering smooth, fourlane driving all the way to the front door.

Upon arrival, members may wish to restore the delicate balance of mind and body by visiting Mohegan Sun's 15,000-square-foot world-class spa, salon, and fitness center. After experiencing an array of luxurious treatments - mud therapy and shiatsu massage to European facials and seaweed wraps - they will feel renewed.

The spa, salon, and fitness center features professional spa and fitness staff, including personal trainers and nutritionists; a full range of spa services, including massage, body wraps, hydrotherapy, and hand and foot treatments; salon and beauty facilities, offering facials, hair treatments, manicures, pedicures, and more; 20 dry and wet treatment rooms; a 12,500-square-foot sun terrace (available for outdoor functions); a 16,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor pool; men's and women's lounges, whirlpools, and saunas; a 3,000-square-foot fitness and cardiovascular center; an aerobics studio; and a mineral pool.

If your members are looking for a different kind of relaxation, they might want to drop by Mohegan Sun's Wolf Den where legendary entertainers - such as Duran Duran, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Temptations, Suzanne Somers, and Jo Dee Messina - have given complimentary performances. Members can also take in a game of tennis and golf nearby, including access to the top-ranked Tournament Players Club of Connecticut, home of the PGA's Greater Hartford Open golf tournament.

"Simply put, Mohegan Sun is like no place on earth," says Casey. "We can try to describe it. We can tell you everything it has to offer - from world-class meeting and function facilities, luxurious accommodations, and top entertainers, to exciting gaming entertainment and inspired dining. But to truly understand it, you need to experience it. You need to stand smack in the middle of it and let it flood your senses. And in April 2002, you will be able to immerse yourself in Mohegan Sun...the premier meeting, entertainment, and gaming destination of the East Coast."
