Mohegan Pennsylvania, still widely known as Mohegan Sun Pocono, sits on 400 acres off Interstate 81 in Wilkes-Barre. The property is owned by the Mohegan Tribe and pairs a casino resort with a harness racing track. Its Topgolf Swing Suite is one attraction inside a building that runs 24 hours a day.
The bay runs the standard Topgolf Swing Suite game set, covering virtual golf, the target games, and multi-sport titles for people who do not play. Because the property is large and the bay is not always signposted from the main floor, call (570) 831-2100 first and ask where it sits and whether it is open.
The casino covers 82,000 square feet with slot machines, table games, a poker room, and a dedicated gaming lounge. A sportsbook operates on site, and the Momentum rewards program covers free play, dining, and hotel offers. Online gaming runs under the same brand for guests who want to keep playing after they leave.
Live harness racing is what makes this property different from every other casino on our list. Pocono Downs runs a full season with races most weeks, and off-track wagering operates year-round. If you have never watched harness racing, it is worth an evening, and admission to the track area costs nothing.
Dining and drinking spread across 19 restaurants and bars. The Hive Taphouse runs a champagne brunch on Sundays. Breakers books live bands, Bean and Vine is a cafe and wine bar with piano music, and Embers Terrace handles outdoor seating. Rustic Kitchen puts on a cooking show on Friday and Saturday nights.
Party on the Patio is the summer signature. The property books 19 bands across the season for free outdoor concerts with food and drinks, and it draws heavily from the surrounding valley. A separate BrewFest runs in September with craft beer, cocktails, live music, barbecue, and food trucks, and it is open to all ages.
Wise Crackers Comedy Club operates inside the resort with a regular schedule of touring comedians. The Keystone Grand Ballroom handles larger shows and events. Between the comedy club, the ballroom, the patio series, and the bars with live music, there is something booked most nights of the week.
The hotel rooms are conservatively decorated with free Wi-Fi, sitting areas, smart televisions, and loaner iPad Minis, which is an unusual amenity. Suites add coffee machines and separate living rooms. Room service operates.
Spa Sapphire handles treatments, and there is an indoor pool, a gym, and a shopping arcade on the property. Meeting and event space is extensive, and the resort books weddings. Free parking covers the lot, valet is available, and an airport shuttle runs to Wilkes-Barre Scranton International, about eight miles away.
Guests rate the property 4.0 stars across roughly 10,658 Google reviews. Praise focuses on the staff, the entertainment, and the value. The most common complaint involves smoke on the gaming floor. For a golfer in northeastern Pennsylvania, this is a cheap, busy social bay with a great deal going on around it.
