Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort is getting the Blues.
The 10-year-old resort announced the details of a $740 million expansion that will just about double the size of the Uncasville, Conn., property. The expansion includes a new, 45-table poker room, which will be the casino's first room.
The biggest part of the project will be a new 1,000-room hotel that will feature what the casino is calling a 'House of Blues experience,' which includes 300 House of Blues-themed rooms. The tower will be capped with a members-only House of Blues Foundation Room.
The hotel will also include a 20,000-square-foot spa and a 6,000-square-foot kids' center. The first 700 rooms of the hotel are expected to open in spring of 2010, with the themed rooms opening in the summer of 2010.
Other highlights of the new House of Blues experience at Mohegan Sun would include a House of Blues Music Hall, restaurant, retail outlet, and House of Blues-themed poker room. Project Horizon also calls for 115,000 square feet of additional retail and restaurant space and the new 64,000-square-foot Four Winds Casino. In addition, Mohegan Sun will expand its Asian gaming in the Casino of the Earth.

Construction is expected to begin next summer and will add more than 1.4 million square feet to the property.
Mohegan Sun says the project will bring 1,400 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs to southeastern Connecticut. The total number of slot machines at Mohegan Sun also is projected to increase to 7,600 units, and the number of table games will increase by 385.
The music hall will be able to seat 1,500 people. A 300-seat casual dining restaurant is also in the works. It will offer unique regional and international cuisine and traditional Southern-inspired favorites such as Creole Seafood Jambalaya, Pan-Seared Voodoo Shrimp with Rosemary Cornbread, and White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding. These venues are expected to open in the autumn of 2009.
But wait, there's more.
