I used to live in Northeast PA and remember when Mohegan PA first opened. Back then, it was the…read morebiggest thing to hit Wilkes-Barre/Scranton since the invention of HBO. Seriously, it was a big deal. The casino launched without a hotel, but over the years, it expanded, adding a hotel, more restaurants, and other amenities. For those first few years, this place was hopping--run like a well-oiled machine thanks to Bobby Soper, always clean, always busy, and a solid selection of restaurants and bars to enjoy between donating to the Mohegan tribe. Fast forward to now, and wow... what a fall from grace. I stopped by a few times on a recent trip, and Mohegan PA is barely a shell of what it used to be. First glaring issue? No valet parking. Why? I'm sure they'll blame COVID, but come on--at least bring it back on weekends when the place is actually busy. Speaking of busy, unless you're here on a Friday or Saturday night, the casino is a ghost town. During the week, I could have done cartwheels through the aisles without disturbing a soul. But come Saturday? It's so packed you can't even find an open machine to play. The extremes are wild. And those slot machines... yikes. I swear this must be where all the old, retired machines from their other casinos come to spend their final days. The games are outdated, some displays have screen burn-in, and several machines have broken buttons. There are even sections where machines have just been removed, leaving empty spaces with stanchions. It looks neglected. Food & Drink? Hit or miss. The buffet? Gone--another casualty of COVID, I assume. The Irish bar? Dead every time I walked by. The food court? It felt like stepping into a deserted 90s mall--bleak and lifeless. Unless you're planning to splurge at Ruth's Chris or Rustic Kitchen, your dining options are... well, depressing. Oh, and speaking of depressing - the plants in the planters outside Ruth's Chris... they're dead. Literally. And let's talk about the center bar experience. One evening, I stopped for a quick drink before a dinner reservation, and the bar was a cluttered mess. When the bartender finally emerged, I was greeted with an uninspired "What do you need?" Clearly, she wasn't thrilled to be working, and honestly, I can't blame her given the tumbleweed-level traffic in there. After visiting, I now understand why this place is dead mid-week. Mohegan PA is nothing like its former self. Living in South Florida, I frequent the Hard Rock casinos, and let me tell you, those absolutely blow this place away--newer machines, better game variety, cleaner spaces, solid food and drink options. If Bobby Soper walked in today, he'd cry.

Just dislike when you come up to a machine and you want to play, and a significant other if a person playing is sitting in a seat of the machine that you want to play. Then when you ask them to move since they're just sitting there not playing they cop an attitude with you. And I wish they stopped with the smoking in there, the casino floor is too small to have it all in one area, transfer around the whole floor.

I'm also 1-for-1 in food, but I did play it safe with a Chicken Garden Salad. Up until this trip, Hollywood Casinos that I have visited on my travels have been average at best. They're usually in areas where the competition is kicking their ass, the casino is relatively unkempt, and it's just not a great vibe. However, this property is the complete opposite. It's kind of awesome. It's super clean, the staff is great, and the patrons seem friendly and respectful. It reminds me a lot of Harrah's Cherokee--including many locals that recognize each other. At Cherokee (NC), you get about 50% tourists and 50% locals. That's due to being surrounded by big cities within 2-4 hours yet still in the mountains. Here, I would assume it's closer to 80% locals. This probably plays into the chill and friendly vibe. One thing I have noticed on my travels (this is poker room #118), outside of Vegas, most people know each other at every casino. An added bonus, is that they had a local band and a DJ last night (DJ between sets) and everyone was having a good time. I sat there and watched people dance and appreciated the good energy. I have some darkness to me but I really appreciate these moments where people are happy and enjoying themselves. It allows me to tune-in to my good side. Really really good vibes here with that dance floor. If I were to point out a negative, it's the $7 and $8 beers. This is simply greed. At Harrah's Cherokee (my home court for poker), you can get a $5 Landshark beer. It's not the best beer, but it allows you to walk around and enjoy a beer. Since the beers here were $7 and $8, I stopped drinking and consumed nothing for the last three hours I was there. The casino would make more money with a low-price beer option. The price points are a little too high for maximizing profit anyway. They are only hurting themselves. Almost every casino has at least one negative. But overall, this is a really cool spot and definitely recommended!

We attended the Rick Springfield concert last night. We were so excited and purchased the pre show…read moreparty buffet for $25 each. It was talked up stating there would be a dj, signature cocktail, appetizer type snacks on the buffet and give aways. First of all it wasn't clear where this was being held because the concert venue is separate outside from where this is served. Not being there before and this described as skybox-we initially thought it was part of the concert venue. It WAS NOT. This is a huge complex and the signage is very lacking. We thought once we parked we would be good to go for the rest of the night. Once we figured out where the "skybox" was inside the second floor of the casino-we had to check in. I printed our tix and had them on my phone wallet. The print outs directly from Ticketmaster were no good and considered screenshots to them. HUGE PROBLEM if you don't have a smart phone or if the system was down. Other people that we were with said that they were having a hard time having their ticket scanned on their phone because the Wi-Fi at the casino was poor.. my friend specifically asked about the giveaways because there was a wheel there to spin and we didn't know if we were supposed to spin it ahead of time or what the deal was and the guy told my friend that they would be making announcements and calling names for the giveaways that never happened the entire time that we were there. We got there at 3:30 and the party was from 2 to 6.. when we walked in there was a DJ but he left at 4 o'clock. When my friend asked about the signature cocktail, the waitress seemed confused at first and made a statement that she didn't know if there was any left or if they needed to make more come to find out that it was just a regular cocktail that they make like any other cocktail there wasn't anything that was premade or anything so we weren't sure why she even made that comment. The buffet was decent for what it was described to be, but it definitely wasn't worth the $25 apiece that we spent. It was hot dogs, walking tacos, some pulled chicken, soft pretzel sticks and some cookies. We didn't see any other drinks so I did go up to the bar to ask if I could order a soda and the lady did tell me that there was no charge for the soda, but I wouldn't have known that had I not asked.. when it was time to go down for the concert. One of the people downstairs was nice enough to tell us that we were better off leaving our car in the parking garage and taking the shuttle that they offer to and from the venue, so that part was good, but before that when we couldn't figure out where the buffet in the sky box was, we were driving around and couldn't figure out where we were supposed to park and we ended up going down this one street again there was no signs telling us where to go we're not to go and we ended up going down this road and when we got down there, we were greeted by someone in an orange vest who also seemed very confused so she ended up getting someone on the walkie-talkie who told her to call someone over and parking which really confused us because we thought that she was with parking so she directed us to go out and turn around and go down this other street and we told her that we were down that way, and there was cones blocking off the parking spaces saying that the lot was closed where we were supposed to park so that was what let us back up to the casino and we only knew to go there because I ended up typing it into AI and it was what told us to go back to the casino that that was where the sky box buffet was no one at the venue was able to tell us that. So once we got the shuttle, ironically, it dropped us off exactly where we were when we encountered the lady with the vest earlier. Once we were inside the actual Penn heroes Stadium that itself was awesome. It was set up perfectly and we had wonderful seats, but just trying to figure out the semantics of getting in there and getting set up was a nightmare.. I would not spend the extra money for the sky box buffet. Save your money and spend it somewhere else.
