Additionally, both Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will be catering to Connecticut and Rhode Island residents only.
Neither property will open its concert venues, buffets or poker rooms and tenant restaurants will be open for take-out only. Consistent with or exceeding the State’s phased guidance and safety protocols, each property has incorporated protective equipment and physical distancing in its policies. The two Tribes collaborated to establish new safety protocols and operating procedures for each property’s reopening guidelines, aimed at mitigating the risks for both guests and employees.īased on the collaborative guidelines, each Tribal Nation has developed their own policies to address the unique needs of their respective property. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe have announced on Wednesday that they will begin to reopen the Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun on Monday, June 1st with safety guidelines in place.Ĭonnecticut Governor Ned Lamont is not happy about the announcement, saying: “I think that’s incredibly risky and it’s risky for the people that work at the casinos, it’s risky for the people that go to the casinos, it’s risky for the region because you have a lot of employees who go back out through the region.”
