The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut plans to open a new $130 million hotel at its casino in October 2016. The Earth Hotel at Mohegan Sun will feature 400 rooms. It joins the existing 1,200-room Sky Hotel, which the tribe said is frequently booked to capacity. "Our projections have been very modest in terms of occupancy, and we’re still going to return a good revenue stream," Chairman Kevin Brown said on a tour of the facility for the media, The New London Day reported.
