Despite ongoing political tensions with North Korea, the Connecticut-based Native American group is moving forward in South Korea and taking its brand international.
““Mohegan Sun has partnered with KCC Corp, a Seoul chemicals and auto parts manufacturer, and the Incheon International Airport (IIA), in building the complex.
”
The gaming facility will be named Inspire and will feature a 215,000-square-foot casino, 1,350 five and six-star guest rooms, Paramount Studios indoor theme park, and private air terminal at the adjacent IIA.
““Mohegan Sun has a 2020 target opening date for the resort.
”
On a much smaller scale, Mohegan Sun is also currently trying to obtain permission to move forward with a satellite location in East Windsor, Connecticut, in conjunction with the state’s other Native American group, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe.
The country’s first casino resort opened in Incheon last month, but owners of the $1.12 billion Paradise City are none too happy that the North and South Korea conflict is hampering visitation during its opening weeks.
