I spent a day playing live poker and a 9-5 DDB video poker I found right outside the poker room. I like this casino. I like the decor. It really develops Native American ideas and themes.
The buffet was just delicious. I especially liked the choices because I am eating more vegetables, fruit and fish and less carbs and meats. They had plenty of everything, but the choice in my foods were better than the average buffet, much better than Foxwoods, and things were labeled well. Gluten free was around. I don't focus on that, but I certainly liked that the strawberries were labeled "no added sugar" Those made a fine desert.
I also like the ambiance. At Foxwoods the music in the buffet is just too loud.
The poker room is much brighter and is on the main floor.
Access was easy from the Groton Inn and Suites just off I-95. Ten miles. I paid $45 plus tax using a Roomsaver coupon. I called ahead to see there were spots and I loved this place. $45 on a Friday was great. They had a sit down served breakfast with plenty of choices and good portions that was included in the price.
I have not been to Mohegan in a long while, but my points were still active.
