Breakers bar at Mohegan Sun Pocono
Allure of Gaming
According to William H. Jackson, director of sales and marketing for Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, “En- tertainment destinations like Resorts Casino Hotel, and the majority of Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment properties, do have fantastic gaming that stays on the cutting edge, but it’s combined with world-class hotel, dining, shopping, nightlife and entertainment experi- ences outside of gaming.”
He adds that with the opening of the new DraftKings Sportsbook at Resorts, “even sports betting is now eas- ily accessible following a business meeting, adding ap- peal to meeting planners.”
"Casino resorts like Mohegan Sun Pocono are a great choice for groups because of the variety of activities - there is something for everyone to enjoy! Mohegan Sun Pocono is one of the largest gaming destinations in the region... Guests looking for alternative activities can par- take in a variety of nightlife venues, explore our diverse dining options, or indulge in the VIP treatment at Spa Sapphire," observes Charisse Huff, public relations spe- cialist for Mohegan Sun Pocono.
"Casinos offer more than meeting space and a place to rest at night," explains Ashley O’Brikis, publicist for Tropicana Atlantic City. “With easily accessible restau- rants, entertainment, nightlife, spa access and more, casinos provide meeting attendees with an opportunity to unwind and enjoy various amenities without ever leaving the property.”

Gaming destinations have proven to be very popular among corporate groups in large part because they offer attendees such easy access to fun 24-hours a day, agrees Jackson.
“Resorts Casino Hotel is energetic and keeps attendees enthusiastic and engaged with shopping, dining and en- tertainment,” he continues. “Younger group meeting at- tendees are especially attracted to the beachfront themed functions that Resorts Casino Hotel offers at At- lantic City’s only year-round restaurant on the beach, Landshark Bar and Grill, part of Resorts’ $35-million Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Entertainment Complex.”
In May of 2019, Resorts celebrated the opening of a new outdoor expansion to Landshark Bar and Grill called Fins Bar. Fins Bar provides a year-round beach bar expe- rience complete with a 2,300-square foot boardwalk deck, a new large capacity bar complete with an addi- tional 150 seats, additional outdoor speakers, as well as exterior string lights. On its new portable stage, Fins Bar hosts live entertainment.
Adjacent to Resorts Casino Hotel is one of the largest observation wheels in the world, which was built on neighboring Steel Pier. An expansive deck surrounds the wheel and allows for a creative option that’s available to groups who are meeting at Resorts.
