Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino Resort - Adults Only 21+
Room was clean and very nice. Staff was pleasant and helpful. A little disappointed in the casino slots because so many of the machines our card kept reading error. We would have played so much more, but couldn’t get a number of the machines to work.
