The start of the new year brings more fun in the Sun to Connecticut – Mohegan Sun, that is.
The award-winning casino has just reopened the doors to one of its most popular restaurants, Todd English’s Tuscany.
“As we enter the New Year, we’re thrilled to welcome guests back to Todd English’s Tuscany after significant improvements to the overall dining atmosphere,” said Chris Greaney, Vice President of Food & Beverage at Mohegan Sun.
