Travel to Connecticut

Connecticut is bordered on the south by Long Island Sound, on the west by New York State, on the north by Massachusetts, and on the east by Rhode Island.

The state, although small, has regional variations in its landscape and culture from the wealthy estates of Fairfield County's "Gold Coast" to the rolling mountains and farms of the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut. Connecticut's rural areas and small towns in the northeast and northwest corners of the state contrast sharply with its industrial cities, located along the coastal highways from the New York border to New Haven, then northwards to Hartford, as well as further up the coast near New London.

Fun Casino Destinations

Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut is still a relatively new casino destination, but the casino is offering families a renewed way to travel as a family and still visit the casino. Mohegan is catering to families with small children and most adults will find that their child care is the best the casino business has to offer!
