Mohegan Sun's Fixed Location and Your Trip There

The Fixed Point on the Map

Mohegan Sun is 113.3 straight-line miles from Manhattan. That figure measures the shortest path across the earth's surface, not the route a car takes. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.

The venue's documented coordinates place it at 41.49222222 latitude and -72.09138889 longitude, in Uncasville, Connecticut. That point does not move. What changes is where a reader begins, which is why the table below gives reference cities rather than a single route.

Documented Straight-Line Distances

Each row below comes from publicly published reference sources and uses great-circle measurement. A great-circle line is the shortest arc between two points on a sphere. It ignores roads, bridges, borders, and terrain.

Why Road Distance Runs Longer

A straight-line figure cuts across water, hills, and property lines. A road cannot. The northeastern United States has dense river systems, protected watersheds, and irregular coastlines that force highways onto indirect paths. Crossing a state line adds no road length by itself, but the road network on either side may not connect in the shortest possible direction.

Mohegan Sun sits inland from the Connecticut coast, near the Thames River. The terrain around Uncasville is rolling and wooded, with no single dominant geographic barrier. The gap between straight-line and road distance comes mostly from the road grid: routes bend around reservoirs, follow older settlement patterns, and collect traffic through intermediate towns rather than running point to point.

Where the Venue Sits in the Region

Uncasville is in eastern Connecticut, part of the town of Montville. The venue's coordinates place it northeast of New York City and southwest of Boston. It is inland from the Long Island Sound coast, not a waterfront property.

Connecticut is a small state, so many of the straight-line figures in the table above are short by national standards. Boston sits 80.1 straight-line miles to the northeast. Manhattan sits 113.3 straight-line miles to the southwest. Philadelphia is 192.8 straight-line miles to the southwest, and Washington DC is 315.4 straight-line miles to the southwest. The venue's regional position is best understood as a point between the Boston and New York metropolitan corridors, closer to the coast than to the state's western border.

If You Are Measuring From Your Own Location

The venue's position is fixed. Your starting point is not. No article can know where a reader begins without being told, so this article does not guess. The correct method is to take the venue's coordinates, 41.49222222 and -72.09138889, and measure from your own address or current position using a mapping tool that supports great-circle or road-route calculation.

If the pair you want is not in the table above, this article cannot measure that specific distance. The table contains every documented pair available. For any other starting point, the reader must measure it themselves. A mapping application will give both a straight-line figure and a road route, and only the road route is useful for planning an actual trip.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Several details change without notice and are not published in this article. Confirm each one through the venue's own channels before traveling.

• Current operating status and any entry requirements, through the venue's official website or guest services line.
• Road conditions and construction on your intended route, through the state department of transportation for each state you will cross.
• Parking availability and any shuttle service from regional transit hubs, through the venue's published parking page.
• Lodging availability if you plan an overnight stay, through the venue's booking page or your own accommodation provider.

The venue's published contact page and booking page are the authoritative sources for anything that can change between the time you read this and the time you arrive.
