The Fixed Point: Uncasville, Connecticut
Mohegan Sun sits at coordinates 41.49222222, -72.09138889, in Uncasville, Connecticut. That point does not move. What changes is where you are starting from, and that is the first thing to settle before any distance question can be answered.
The property opened on October 12, 1996, and its documented gaming inventory includes 370 table games. Blackjack is a standard table game at the property, though the exact number of blackjack tables on a given night is not a fixed figure and is not part of the documented facility data used here.
What the Documented Table Count Tells You
Publicly published reference sources describe the property as having more than 364,000 square feet of gaming space featuring over 6,500 slot machines, 370 table games, and a race book. That table game figure is a property-wide total, not a per-game breakdown. It tells you the venue operates a substantial table game floor; it does not tell you how many of those 370 tables are blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, or any other single game.
Table counts are revised as properties reconfigure floors, convert pits, or shift between live-dealer and electronic formats. The 370 figure describes a documented point in time, not a guarantee of tonight's layout.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Never Match
A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. It crosses hills, rivers, state boundaries, and private land as though none of it existed. A road route cannot do that.
Eastern Connecticut is cut by river valleys and ridgelines that force roads to follow indirect paths. The Thames River runs near the property, and any route from the west or south must account for crossings and bridge placement. Interstate and state highway corridors are laid out to serve population centers and existing infrastructure, not to minimize distance between any two arbitrary points. The result is that a straight-line figure of, say, 80.1 miles to Boston becomes a longer actual drive, and a straight-line figure of 113.3 miles to New York City becomes longer still once bridge, tunnel, and urban road-network constraints are added.
Crossing a state line adds no distance by itself, but it often adds routing complexity. A driver approaching from New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island is not traveling in a straight line toward Uncasville; they are following the limited set of corridors that connect those states to southeastern Connecticut.
Where the Venue Sits Within the Region
Uncasville is in southeastern Connecticut. The coordinates place the property east of the Connecticut River and north of Long Island Sound. Boston lies to the northeast, New York City to the southwest, and Providence sits between them to the east. The property is closer in straight-line terms to Boston than to New York City, and closer to both than to any reference point west of the Appalachians.
Connecticut is a small state, and Uncasville sits in a part of it where several New England and mid-Atlantic metro areas are within a few hundred straight-line miles. That does not translate into short drives, because the road network around the Connecticut-Rhode Island-Massachusetts border region is shaped by rivers, coastal development, and older settlement patterns rather than by directness.
When the Question Is "From Me"
If you are asking how far Mohegan Sun is from your location, the venue's position is the fixed half of the equation and your starting point is the variable half. This article cannot resolve your starting point, so it cannot state your distance.
What you can do is use the venue's coordinates as the fixed reference. Take your own coordinates, or the coordinates of your nearest city from the table above, and measure the great-circle distance to 41.49222222, -72.09138889. Any mapping tool will do this. Then understand that the road distance will be longer, and that the only authoritative source for your specific route is a current mapping application or the venue's own directions page.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Table game availability changes. The property's documented table game count is 370, but the mix of games, the number of open tables, and the presence of blackjack specifically on a given night are operational details that no static article can state. Confirm the following through the property's own channels before traveling:
- Whether blackjack tables are currently operating and in which pit or tower they are located.
- Table minimums and maximums, which vary by day, time, and demand.
- Any table game schedule changes during major events or holidays.
- The current route and road conditions from your starting point, which no straight-line figure can address.
The venue's published table games page and guest services line are the authoritative channels for the first three items. A current mapping application is the authoritative channel for the fourth.
