In the eastern American state of Connecticut and the Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment enterprise of the federally-recognized Mohegan Tribe has announced that it is to invest some $15 million into its giant Mohegan Sun property over the course of the next three years.
The casino operator used an official Thursday press release to detail that this cash will be used to fund a range of projects including the debut of a new 6,500 sq ft VIP lounge and bar within its Casino of the Earth area. The enterprise stated that this fresh section being designed by Rockwell Group is expected to open in the autumn complete with a dining element, a full bar and an ‘alluring fireplace.’
Opulent objective:
Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment noted that it is working with Rockwell Group in hopes of incorporating ‘Mohegan-influenced designs and elements’ into this coming space, which will be situated next to the venue’s already-popular Ballo Italian Kitchen and Bar and be subsequently joined by a non-VIP food and beverage offering. When finished, it asserted that the amenity is to ‘offer a dramatic and elegant atmosphere’ that is certain to create ‘the backdrop for the perfect night out’ for members of its Momentum Club loyalty program.
Aerial alterations:
Upon completion of this new offering and Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment explained that it intends to begin work on renovating the Sachem Lounge food and beverage area within the adjacent Casino of the Sky zone. The operator disclosed that this will be joined by a $3 million fire and water-themed makeover of the two 3,500 sq ft Royal Suites situated inside Mohegan Sun’s iconic Sky Tower.
