In addition to all the other things mentioned, I find the staff
friendlier and the low-end food better at Mohegan Sun.
Also, since my parents live in CT and i live in north NJ, I almost
always go to a CT casino with my parents. My mother, a stroke survivor,
enjoys that it is much easier to pick up a wheelchair at MS, and that both
the valet and self parking leave you much closer to the gaming floor.
Also spent my first overnight stay at each property during Christmas
week. MS has in-room high-speed internet access, and my standard room had a
mini-bar.
MS just seems to run a classier operation. And of course it helps that
their best VP games not only are better EV-wise, but have standard pay
schedules. (Has anyone seen 10/7/4/900 Double Bonus anywhere but Foxwoods??)

I'm not surprised. I live in CT and no one that I know goes to Foxwoods.
Obviously some do but MS appears to be the casino of choice for most
locals.
Just last Sunday, Foxwoods had an insert in the Hartford Courant with
coupons for various stuff at the casino. I was shocked that they had to
offer 20% off stores and restaurants to get people to show up.My guess is that MS has continued to capture a big piece of Foxwoods'
business. People coming from western and central MA and NY, especially
NYC,
have no reason to travel the extra 15-20 minutes to go to Foxwoods. My
guess
is that this crowd has a higher per cap wager.

Self parking at MS is more convenient. I like the ambiance of the
Sky Casino more than anything at FW. Getting arounf FW is a real
hike, seems much more compact at MS.I'm eligible for the highroller lounges at MS but not at FW cuz
of the VP play.Maybe i'm just biased cuz of the VP.
