The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut will debut the first phase of a $925 million expansion of the Mohegan Sun Casino on Friday.
The 64,000-square-foot Casino of the Wind includes more than 650 slot machines and 28 table games. Poker will make its return after the tribe ended the games a few years ago. Phase two of the project includes a 920-room hotel and more stores and restaurants. The original cost of the project went up due to rising construction prices. The tribe has seen a drop in slot machine revenues amid the downturn in the national economy. Get the Story:
