Mohegan Tribe starts work on casino expansion


The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut broke ground on the final project of a $925 million casino expansion.

The $682 million "Earth" expansion will bring a House of Blues music hall and a hotel with House of Blues-themed rooms to the Mohegan Sun Casino. Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd joined tribal leaders and gaming officials in launching the project yesterday.

The Earth project is expected to be complete in 2010. The tribe already finished expanding the gaming floor and adding other amenities to the casino.
