Inside the resort, besides lots of gambling and shopping, you can find delicious restaurants such as Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse, Todd English’s Tuscany and Hash House a Go Go. I wonder who in the world I might be.Last weekend, I took a much-needed weekend off from everything (including my blog) and visited Mohegan Sun Resort, which is one of the largest casino resorts located along the banks of the Thames River in Uncasville, Connecticut.

“I’d need a pen name,” I say eventually, considering. We share a cab back to the hotel with two wasted girls who turn out to have gone to my high school they drunkenly namedrop my eleventh-grade precalc teacher while the hulking neon complex recedes in the distance, everything gone suddenly dark. We get catcalled by two men wearing crowns made out of balloons. In the middle of the casino is a sculpture by Dale Chihuly. I’ve never been to Mohegan Sun before and I wonder if it’s a thing you do for fun in central Connecticut, just another Saturday night: downstairs a bull-riding event is breaking up and people start to wander in wearing plaid and cowboy hats, boots clicking across the marble floor. There’s a bach party across the restaurant and everyone at it has bright blue hair. It’s Lisa’s birthday so we order chocolate cream pie and more cocktails and look out the window trying to guess which girls are hookers. Earlier we were drinking Stoli Raz but now we are drinking something else Raz, which the waitress says is better. Over mussels at Bar Americain in Mohegan Sun of all places Meg and Lisa decide that what I really need to do this summer is write the next 50 Shades of Grey and get rich enough to take us all on a cruise.
