Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, has officially been named “Best Casino with Live Entertainment” in the 2024 Newsweek Readers’ Choice awards. Nominees for this contest are editorially driven with contributions from a panel of travel experts. The final list is determined by “Newsweek” editors, and then a public vote occurred during the month of December.
“We are honored to be named ‘Best Casino with Live Entertainment’ by Newsweek,” said Tom Cantone, president of Sports & Entertainment for Mohegan. “This is another acknowledgement and recognition of the men and women who work nonstop every day to be the best in the country. They are the reason Mohegan’s entertainment brand is consistently named No. 1 and is celebrated by guests and artists worldwide.”
