Connecticut’s two casinos took home top honors from Newsweek recently as the best live entertainment casinos in the country, the publication announced.
Newsweek released its readers’ choice list for the best casino with live entertainment — outside of Las Vegas — selected by panelists, contributors and readers.
While the top 10 list includes casinos spread across the country, the top two on the list are Mohegan Sun in Uncasville at number one and Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket at second.
For Mohegan Sun, Newsweek wrote:
“Mohegan Sun is one of the country’s largest casinos with over 300,000 square feet of gaming space including 4,000 slot machines and 300 table games. Consistently ranked as one of the top venues in the world, the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena plays hosts to music headliners. Enjoy the country music scene at Comix Roadhouse as well as comedy acts and popular entertainers at the Wolf Den, where shows are free.”
For Foxwoods, Newsweek wrote:
“Over 2,900 slots, 250 table games and a 30,000-square-foot bingo hall await at Foxwoods Resort Casino. World-class entertainers grace the stage at the Premier Theatre with a year-round calendar of top-notch performances. You can also experience a vibrant nightlife at multiple bars and lounges with a great lineup of live artists.”
