- 10,000 square-foot indoor pool
- A 17,500 square-foot outdoor sun terrace

The Mohegan Sun also has its own WNBA basketball team, the Connecticut Sun, which plays in the resort's arena.

Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority operates Mohegan Sun casino and slot machines and harness racing in Plains Township and Pocono Downs, PA. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs began offering table games in July 2010 and has 66 tables for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and three-card poker

Net revenues for the MTGA in 2010 were $1.42 billion, a drop from $1.45 billion, and net income of $9.7 million. The Mohegan Sun casino generated $1.15 billion in revenues in fiscal 2010, a drop from $1.2 billion.

Due to the weak economy and competition from gaming facilities in nearby states, Mohegan Sun announced in September 2010 it would cut 475 jobs in CT but said about 120 workers would be moved into other positions
