When dinner and a movie just won’t cut it, it’s time to change your definition of date night. Upgrade to a weekend at one of Connecticut's world-class resort casinos, and enjoy gaming, upscale accommodations, fine dining, big-name entertainment and soothing spas.
Be sure to check with each location as hours may change.
Mohegan Sun, Uncasville
Driving through tranquil country roads, you’ll spot a 34-story hotel on the horizon. It’s a signal you’re about to reach Mohegan Sun. The luxurious Sky Tower or brand new Earth Tower is home away from home. Indulgent amenities, such as a Jacuzzi tub or butler service, are yours by request.
Unwind under the same roof—try the indoor pool, fitness center and Mandara Spa. Of its 15 therapy rooms, one is expressly designed for couples to enjoy tandem massages.
Balance your bliss with the sights and sounds of three casinos with 5,000 slots and 300 table games. Catch a show at COMIX Comedy Club or a concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena or Wolf Den. For a romantic meal, there’s abundant ambiance at Todd English’s Tuscany, Bobby's Burger Palace and TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge. The pub and club scene runs late at Avalon, Mist, The Lansdowne Irish Pub & Music House and Vista Lounge.
Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mashantucket
Couples looking for round-the-clock excitement come to Foxwoods Resort Casino—the largest resort casino in North America—to play 250 table games and 4,800 slot machines.
The nights can be long at Foxwoods, so too is the list of entertainment options. First, there’s dinner at your choice of fine-dining restaurants including the award-winning David Burke Prime Steakhouse or enjoy great casual eateries such as Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar, Hard Rock Cafe, and the Instagram-famous Sugar Factory.
Where to stay? The Grand Pequot Tower has AAA Four-Diamond amenities while The Great Cedar Hotel is located in the middle of everything.
