A major artist playing eastern Connecticut? There's a good chance it's at Mohegan Sun. This Uncasville resort is one of the Northeast's busiest concert spots. Unlike most arenas, it pairs big ticketed shows with truly good free music. Here's how to make the most of it.
Mohegan Sun Arena: the big tours
The Arena is the centerpiece. It holds roughly 10,000. Setups range from about 7,700 to 10,000, depending on the stage. It hosts arena-level pop, rock, country, R&B, and Latin tours. Plus comedy, sports, and awards shows. You get a full arena experience without big-city traffic. Since it's inside a resort, the night doesn't have to end when the show does.
Best for: marquee headliners, big production, a make-a-weekend-of-it trip.
The Wolf Den: free live music
The best-kept secret here is the Wolf Den. It's a lounge right on the casino floor with free live music all week. No ticket, no cover. Touring and tribute acts play in an intimate setting. You can walk right up. Want a night of live music without buying a ticket? This is one of the best deals in the state.
Best for: a spontaneous, no-cost night out. Or catching a band while you're already there.

Between the Arena and the Wolf Den sits the Cabaret Theatre. It handles ticketed mid-size shows. It's a more intimate setting for comedians and touring acts. They don't need a full arena. Mohegan Sun also hosts events in its ballrooms and other spaces. The resort's calendar runs deeper than just the Arena marquee.
