If a trip to Las Vegas isn’t in the cards for you, a Connecticut casino is the next best thing, according to USA Today.

However, Mohegan Sun hit the jackpot in the category of best casino hotel, ranking No. 1. The casino’s hotel beat out Foxwoods, which ranked No. 3 on that list, as well as hotels in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and elsewhere.
“Mohegan tribal stories come to life throughout the hotel’s design,” wrote the publication.
The casino hotel’s 1,563 guest rooms and suites in two towers are outfitted with intelligent thermostats and “lightning fast” WiFi, according to the publication, and guests enjoy a fitness center, pool, and spa.
Mohegan Sun was also a near winner on the best players club list, where it ranked No. 2, second only to Caesars Entertainment.
