Mohegan Sun Casino Winner: Fixed Location and Documented Straight-Line Distances

From Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, the documented straight-line distance is 113.3 miles to NYC, 80.1 miles to Boston, 192.8 miles to Philadelphia, 191.6 miles to Atlantic City, 315.4 miles to Washington DC, and many other published reference points; every figure in this article is straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point this article can document

The venue discussed here is Mohegan Sun, in Uncasville, Connecticut. Publicly published reference sources place it at latitude 41.49222222 and longitude -72.09138889, which is the fixed point behind every distance pair listed below.

That matters because the keyword can be read in different ways, but the only stable part of the answer is the place itself. A venue's coordinates stay the reference point; a reader's starting point, route choice, and mode of travel do not.

Where the venue sits geographically

Using only the documented coordinates and city-state identification, Mohegan Sun sits in Connecticut, in the city of Uncasville. With a latitude of 41.49222222 north and a longitude of -72.09138889 west, it is in the northeastern United States.

The longitude places it east of inland points with more negative west longitudes, and the latitude places it north of points with smaller north-latitude values. That is enough to explain regional orientation in a careful way without inventing road approaches, named highways, or unsourced journey estimates.

If your real question is "Where is it from me?" this article cannot resolve "me" or "my location" into a city. What it can do is anchor the venue to its coordinates and show documented straight-line comparisons to many named places, so you can compare those with your own mapping tool from your actual starting point.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below reproduces the full set of documented straight-line pairs available for this venue. The measurement type is great-circle throughout, which means each figure is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinates, not the distance a car would cover on roads.

How to read those mileage figures correctly

Straight-line distance is useful for orientation, especially when you want to know whether a venue is broadly closer to Boston than to Philadelphia, or whether it sits in the same general northeastern band as New York City and Washington DC. It is not a road trip planner.

The reason road distance comes out longer is simple. Real travel has to follow the available network rather than crossing directly from coordinate to coordinate. Roads curve, connect through population centers, avoid private land, and often detour around rivers, coastlines, protected areas, and other barriers.

For a place in Connecticut, the difference between a great-circle line and a real route can also reflect water crossings, legacy street layouts, and the need to enter or leave neighboring states by the roads that exist rather than by the shortest geometric line. Crossing a state boundary does not itself create extra straight-line distance, but it can change where the practical road network sends you.

That is why this article keeps the two ideas separate. The mileage in the table is a map-reading aid; the current drivable route belongs on a live mapping service, which can account for the exact start point you enter and the road options available on the day you travel.

What the facility figures tell you about the place

Publicly published reference sources describe Mohegan Sun as a large resort property rather than a small standalone hall. The documented figures attached to the venue are more than 364,000 square feet of gaming space, over 6,500 slot machines, 370 table games, and more than 1,500 hotel rooms.

Those figures are useful here for one reason: they explain why many readers search for the venue by name even when the real need is geographic. A property of that scale functions as a destination, so knowing its fixed position in Uncasville, Connecticut is often the first step before a reader checks lodging, meeting plans, or route options elsewhere.

The published opening date is October 12, 1996. That date helps place the venue historically, but it does not answer changeable questions such as current access patterns, present-day operating details, or the exact wayfinding information a traveler would need on a specific day.

If your starting point is not in the table

The documented matrix does not include every possible city or landmark. If the place you want to measure from is not one of the named reference points above, this article cannot state that specific distance.

In that situation, use the fixed venue coordinates, 41.49222222 and -72.09138889, in a mapping or coordinate tool and compare from your own start point. That lets you generate a current measurement for your exact origin without guessing, and it avoids the common mistake of treating someone else's reference city as if it were interchangeable with yours.

The same caution applies to the keyword here. The word "winner" does not identify a geographic reference point, so it does not create a measurable distance pair. The venue can still be located precisely; the extra word does not change where the venue sits.

What to confirm before you go

Before travelling, confirm the live details that can change and are not fixed by geography. That includes the route you plan to use, current road conditions, parking arrangements, hotel availability, venue access policies, and any event-specific entry rules.

The authoritative current answers live on the property's own booking and visitor-information pages, in its published contact channels, and in live mapping services that calculate from your exact origin. Those sources can answer today-specific questions that a static location article should not guess at.

If you are comparing the venue with another casino property, keep the categories separate. Use documented facility figures for size, documented city and state for location, and documented straight-line pairs for orientation; do not substitute one category for another.
