second 400-room hotel to join the iconic Sky Tower, which has more than 1,200 luxury rooms and suites, and added a sprawling 125,000-square foot Expo Hall as part of a major $80 mil- lion convention expansion.”


“In all, Mohegan Sun is now home to three incredible entertainment venues, including the award-winning 10,000- seat Mohegan Sun Arena, nearly 1,600 hotel rooms, two world-class Mandara Spas, around 90 dining options and retail experiences, and 275,000-square feet of flexible meeting and event space,” Washko notes.


Mohegan Sun offers nearly endless opportunities for private parties and events, such as holiday celebrations, all in various size, scope and style.


“There is the 38,000-square foot Uncas Ballroom in the Sky Convention Center, which is just a short walk from the Sky Tower lobby,” says Washko. “This ball- room breaks down into multiple rooms as well, though if the holiday party is big enough, it can hold upward of 5,000 people and can be decorated


and set-up perfectly to the client’s pref- erence. Everything from a live band, service from one of the best in-house catering teams you’ll find, and special gaming activities can be accommodat- ed.”


All of these offerings can be matched within the newly opened 20,000-square foot Earth Ballroom, as well, which is just a short walk from Mohegan Sun’s second hotel, Earth Tower.


“If a party is remarkably large, then look no further than the Earth Expo Hall, which spans 125,000-square feet and features endless customization opportunities and natural light pouring in along the northern section of the venue,” exclaims Washko.


Alternatively, he adds, groups looking to hold a holiday party outside of Mohegan Sun’s meeting and conven- tion space also could reserve space at various Mohegan Sun restaurants and nightlife locations, including BALLO Italian Restaurant, COMIX Comedy Club, and the Lansdowne Irish Pub and Music House.


“Mohegan Sun has hosted various holi- day parties for guests with imaginative themes like Winter Wonderland, Ski Lodge and Starry Night. There also is a larger holiday party we host every year in the Uncas Ballroom called ‘Big Little,’ where smaller companies can reserve a block of tables to be a part of bigger event with lavish buffets, a DJ and great activities,” notes Washko. “One of the more recent holiday Big Little events had a Dr. Seuss theme.”


Whether large or small, groups have plenty of options and a variety of opportunities when it comes to holi- day events at casino resort properties. In choosing a casino for a holiday event, the planner can provide their attendees with an all-in-one destina- tion that features everything from great event space to fine dining to exciting nightlife and more.


The excitement of gaming, the unique atmosphere and theme of the casino, as well as the fun of being somewhere unique for the annual holiday event, is sure to be very appealing and attrac- tive to attendees.
