It's time for some R&R at Mohegan Sun! We went last fall, and had a wonderful time. Here are some pictures we took at that event.
Located in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is the world's second largest casino. Mohegan has slot machines and gaming tables, including poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, Caribbean stud poker, keno and baccarat. It's a fun place to hang out and enjoy some cocktails, have a good meal, shop, people watch, have fun with friends or see a show.
Here's a list of games you can play at the Mohegan: http://www.mohegansun... All of the games can be played in a smoke-free environment. If you don't have a lot of money, there are always the nickel slots 
GETTING TO MOHEGAN
You will be responsible for getting your own ride to Mohegan. We were unable to find a cheap solution that would work for everyone :) If you are unable to carpool with anyone, we recommend taking one of the many buses that travel to Mohegan on a daily basis.
If you live north of Boston, we recommendJoseph's for this event. There are two buses which make stops at different locations north of the city, and both will arrive in time to meet the group.
Tickets for both bus routes cost $30 (CASH ONLY) and are sold on each bus. Here are the stops for both buses that day:
BUS 1
7:00am: Danvers/ Peabody @ Liberty Tree Mall (Behind Firestone Tire Co.)
7:20am: Saugus @ K-Mart Plaza (Near Hollywood Video)
7:40am: Stoneham @ Redstone Plaza (near Dunkin Donuts) Rt. 28 - Main St.
8:00am: Burlington @ Corner of Mall Rd. and Lexington St. (Near Kohls)BUS 2
7:30am: Revere @ Northgate Shopping Center (Behind Taco Bell)
7:40am: Everett @ Glendale Sq. (Near Walgreens)
7:45am: Malden @ Centre Street (Stop & Shop Side)
8:00am: Medford @ Medford Square (Near CVS - Riverside Ave)
8:20am: North Woburn @ St. Anthony's Church Parking Lot (851 Main St - Rt 38)Both buses arrive at Mohegan Sun between 10am-10:30am. They leave Mohegan at 5pm sharp, so don't be late!
I plan on driving to Mohegan. If anyone is interested in carpooling with me then send me an email!
Maria we can have four in car total so you and whoever you think would want to entertain us with their company for the ride down :O)
Someone from one of the other groups mentioned another bus company. Sunshineboston.com They cost $15-17. The other one previously mentioned by Tony is $30. Both bus companies give vouchers for the casino- betting and food.
Further Bus Info - 3 best choices are Josephs, Sunshine, and Greyhound. All 3 have casino vouchers (but each has its own voucher deal)
Greyhoumd:
Advantages - Do not need to RSVP, return time is not as restricted.
Disadvantages - Less pick-up spots and lesser casino vouchers. Make sure to ask for casino rate ($28?)
Joseph's:
Advantages: Friendly service, multiple pick-up locations, decent vouchers
Disadvantage: Most $, RSVPS go quick (book early) and specific return time
I don't believe there are reservations needed for Joseph's -- the guy there said it was first come, first serve. They are more expensive but I've heard they are good. Everyone, please let us know if find any amazing deals!
If you are getting on after the first or second stop, reservations are HIGHLY recommended, especially on the weekends. I have seen this bus sell out before.
RE: Sunshine
Advantages - cheapest ($15 + $2 tip for host and driver), best vouchers, multiple pick up locations.
Disadvantages - need to purchase/reserve early. It is Chinese-run so there may be some language issues (bus host speaks English well though), specific return time.
So, the trip is less than a week away. I hope everyone has been able to find a ride or decided on taking a bus. In a few days I'll be giving out my contact info and where in the casino we will be meeting. I'm very excited!
Hey Megan you and Sean are more than welcome to come with me and Chris and Maria. I can fit five and Sean can sit in the Front to be more comfy with CHris . The girls in the back. I just dont like to drive back at night so one of the others will have to flip for it. It will be fun with all of us and u can meet at my condo bright and early for 8:00
Is everyone getting excited? Mohegan is so much fun with a group of people. We'll be sending out an itinerary and contact information in a day or two...
Just a note that if 10:30am is too early for you, you can come later and meet us for lunch.
Take a look at this tour special, is anyone interested? http://www.josephstours.com/joseph%27stours.htm
