The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut brought gaming to Pennsylvania 20 years ago, opening the state’s first casino with just more than 1,000 slot machines at a harness racing track, as its first venture beyond the tribal land.
Two decades later, Mohegan Pennsylvania, located on 400 acres on Route 315 in Plains Twp. , has expanded to include more than 1,500 slot machines and electronic table games and nearly 60 live table games on 80,000 square feet of gaming space. The property also includes a newly renovated 238-room hotel with an on-site spa and an adjacent 20,000 square-foot convention center.
Mohegan Pennsylvania, formerly known as Mohegan Sun Pocono and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, is celebrating its 20th anniversary since it opened on Nov. 14, 2006 – and its evolution into one of the state’s premier entertainment destinations.
