Mohegan Sun says the birthday bash will feature an “elegant Art Deco theme” and a “high-energy dance floor.” The Uncas Ballroom is inside the Sky Convention Center. 30th Anniversaries The Mohegan Tribe is one of two federally recognized Native American communities in Connecticut. The other, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, celebrated the 30th anniversary of its Foxwoods Resort Casino in 2022. Foxwoods began as a bingo hall in 1986 before expanding into a casino in 1992. Mohegan Sun opened in 1996 with slot machines and table games. The tribes invested in casino gambling after the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Oct. 17. 1988. Foxwoods celebrated its 30th with the announcement of a new casino—the Pequot Woodlands Casino—Bedford by Martha Stewart, and the $300 million Great Wolf Lodge. Mohegan Sun’s actual birthday is Monday, Oct. 12. The days and weekend leading up to the birthday will be packed full of entertainment. On Friday, Oct. 2, Alanis Morissette plays Mohegan Sun Arena. That Sunday (Oct. 4), the Foo Fighters take the same stage. On Oct. 9, John Mayer comes to Mohegan Sun Arena. Lainey Wilson plays the Arena on Oct. 10 at 7:30 pm, while Flo Rida plays a special engagement that same evening at 8 pm in the Wolf Den. On Sunday (Oct. 11), DJ Cassidy will host a “Pass the Mic” show featuring an iconic ensemble of hip-hop royalty, including Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Jadakiss, and Nelly. Among the World’s Largest Casinos Mohegan Sun is actually two casinos: Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky. Combined, the property houses one of the largest gambling destinations in the world, with more than 4,000 slot machines, over 300 live dealer table games, a 33-table poker room, a FanDuel Sportsbook with a 140-foot-wide video wall, and a race book.
