Where the venue is fixed

Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, Connecticut. Publicly published reference sources place it at latitude 41.49222222 and longitude -72.09138889.

That matters because a venue's position is fixed even when a reader's starting point is not. For a location question, the most reliable starting facts are the city, the state, the coordinates, and a set of documented straight-line comparisons to named reference points.

The property first opened on October 12, 1996. Publicly published reference sources also describe a large resort footprint at a documented point in time: more than 364,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 6,500 slot machines, 370 table games, and more than 1,500 hotel rooms.

Documented straight-line distance table

Why straight-line and road distance are different

A straight-line figure is a geometric measurement between two coordinates. It is useful for orientation because it shows how far apart two points are in space without assuming any particular route or mode of travel.

Actual road mileage is longer because roads do not move in a perfect line from origin to destination. They bend around water, follow available bridges, work around developed areas, and connect through an existing street and highway network rather than cutting directly across the landscape.

For a venue in Connecticut, the difference can also be affected by state boundaries and by the shape of the regional road grid in the Northeast. A route may have to cross into or through other states, use a limited set of crossings, or detour around coastlines and rivers, all of which add distance compared with a great-circle line.

That is why this article treats straight-line mileage as a comparison tool, not as a substitute for road planning. If you need the current route you would take from your own starting point, the right place to check is a live mapping service using the venue's city, state, or coordinates.

How to read the venue's position within Connecticut

The coordinates place Mohegan Sun in the eastern part of Connecticut because its longitude is negative 72.09138889, which is east of points farther west in the state. Its latitude of 41.49222222 places it in the southern half of New England rather than near the Canadian border.

Using only the documented city and state, the fixed location is Uncasville, Connecticut. Using only the coordinate pair, you can also say the venue sits in the northeastern United States and on the eastern side of the country.

Those directional statements are useful because they remain true regardless of a reader's departure point. If someone starts in Boston, New York, Toronto, or Chicago, the venue has not moved; only the reader's relationship to it changes.

What the size figures tell you about the place

This article is about place rather than play, but the facility figures still help explain what kind of venue Mohegan Sun is. Publicly published reference sources describe more than 364,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 6,500 slot machines, 370 table games, and more than 1,500 hotel rooms.

Those numbers do not tell you anything about current pricing, operating hours, or availability. They do show that the site is a large integrated casino resort rather than a small local gaming room, and they help a reader understand why the venue appears in distance searches from many different cities.

Because venue footprints change through expansions, renovations, and reconfiguration, these figures should be read as documented reference figures rather than a live inventory. The same caution applies to ownership and branding over time.

Ownership and site structure

Publicly published reference sources say the property is owned and operated by the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe. The same reference material places the casino on sovereign tribal land.

For a reader focused on geography, that ownership detail matters mainly because it explains the land context of the site. It does not answer live questions such as current policies, room availability, parking arrangements, or event operations, which should always be checked through the venue's own current information channels before travel.

Using the table if your own starting point is not listed

The keyword here names a Connecticut casino and a specific venue, not a departure city. If your own origin is different from the places listed in the table, this article cannot measure that unpublished pair and should not guess it.

The practical way to use the information is to anchor yourself on the fixed point first: Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, at latitude 41.49222222 and longitude -72.09138889. Then compare your own city with one or more of the listed reference points to get a rough sense of regional position before checking a live map for the actual route.

For example, the documented straight-line figures show that Boston at 80.1 miles and NYC at 113.3 miles are much closer in geometric terms than Chicago at 801.0 miles or San Francisco at 2652.3 miles. That does not convert into a road plan, but it does place the venue clearly within the Northeast and far from the West Coast reference points in the matrix.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm the changeable details that this kind of location article does not publish. That includes current room availability, current rates, parking arrangements, event schedules, age or entry policies, and any same-day operating information.

The authoritative current answer lives on the venue's own booking pages, event pages, and guest-services contact channels. A live map service is the right place to confirm road mileage and routing from your exact starting point, because road distance is always longer than the straight-line figures shown here.

If you are comparing multiple Connecticut casino trips, use fixed facts first: city, state, coordinates, documented size, and documented straight-line distances to places you already know. Then check the venue's own current channels for everything that can change between planning and arrival.

FAQ

How far is Mohegan Sun from New York City?

The documented figure is 113.3 miles straight-line to NYC, and the same 113.3 miles straight-line to Manhattan. That is a great-circle measurement between coordinates, not a road route. If you need the miles you would actually travel, use a live mapping service, because road distance is always longer and this article does not publish driving mileage.

Is Mohegan Sun in Connecticut or somewhere else?

Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, Connecticut. Publicly published reference sources place it at latitude 41.49222222 and longitude -72.09138889. Those fixed coordinates are the best anchor for any trip planning, because they do not change with your starting point and can be entered directly into a mapping tool for current routing.

Can this article tell me the driving distance from my location?

No. This article only uses documented straight-line pairings that have been publicly published for this venue, and road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. If your own city or location is not one of the listed reference points, the article cannot measure that pair. The practical next step is to use the venue's city, state, or coordinates in a live map.
