Making a special appearance was Connecticut Governor John Rowland. A crowd of thousands rushed in to experience the new Mohegan Sun casino along with The Shops at Mohegan Sun.

 

"The opening of Project Sunburst marks a new beginning in East Coast entertainment,'' said Mark Brown, Chairman of The Mohegan Tribe. "The addition of the Casino of the Sky, The Shops at Mohegan Sun, 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena and 300-seat Cabaret places Mohegan Sun on the map of the most magical entertainment destinations in the world. Visitors may be drawn to Mohegan Sun for the gaming, but they will want to stay to enjoy gourmet meals, big name concerts and upscale shopping, among other world-class amenities,'' he added.

 

The Casino of the Sky adds more tables, thousands of slots, a 3,000- square-foot high-limit lounge, Keno (coming in Spring 2002) and special non- smoking gaming areas.

Wombi Rock, an amazing three-story crystal mountain built inside the casino, is crafted from more than 12,000 individual plates of onyx and alabaster fused to glass.
