Mohegan Sun

Mohegan Sun will make you feel lucky. Kick off your trip by ripping around the track at Supercharged then take on the slots, table games, or sports betting.

That night, check out free live music at the Wolf Den, then head for dinner at Insta-worthy TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge. After dinner, turn up the dial for drinks and clubbing at Avalon or Novelle. And when you’re ready for a late-night food fix, Johnny Rockets comes in handy.

Foxwoods Resort Casino

At Foxwoods Resort Casino, start your day with adrenaline on the HighFlyer Zipline, the world's only zipline off a 33 story hotel tower! After all the intensity, recharge at G Spa or try a little retail therapy at the Tanger Outlets, featuring more than 80 top brands. Fan of photos? Then you simply must stop by the Gallery Selfie Museum for an unbelievable world of Insta-worthy backdrops.

When the sun goes down, grab drinks and lots of tasty bites at celebrity favorite, The Sugar Factory. Head over to Axcitement Axe Games then finish the night with a toast at nightlife spots like Shrine or The Scorpion Bar.

Downtown Tour

If you’re hitting the casinos, you’ll want to add a stop for Mystic, just twenty minutes down the road. This waterfront village is a Connecticut icon – and not just because of the 80s film Mystic Pizza (where you can actually go).

Take to the trees for a little adrenaline at TreeTrails Adventure Mystic. Then head downtown for boutique shopping, paddle boarding at Adventure Mystic, and must-taste menus at The Shipwright’s Daughter, Red 36, and Pizzetta. If you’re feeling like a drink, head to the rooftops at Mix or The Treehouse at Oyster Club, or sample beer at Bank & Bridge Brewery, set in a repurposed bank.

At night, check out a mesmerizing performance at immersive show lounge, Mystic Dark Room. Or catch a drag show at chic and nautical cocktail bar, The Port of Call.

Vineyard Vibes

While you’re in the area, stop in and hang at the stunning vineyards in Stonington: Saltwater Farm Vineyard, Jonathan Edwards Winery, and Stonington Vineyards. Grab a glass, take a sip, and look out at the great views.

While in Stonington, be sure to enjoy a farm-to-table meal at Stone Acres Farm.
