To commemorate the longest and most significant Chinese holiday, Mohegan Sun will host a variety of events including renowned artist Eason Chan at Mohegan Sun Arena, traditional Lion Dances, special menus at several restaurants and extraordinary bus giveaways. The celebration begins with two performances from award-winning Eason Chan's "Eason's Moving on Stage 3" 2008 live concert at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, February 10th.

Special dishes will also be found at a number of the restaurants at Mohegan Sun.

Other dishes include Delicacy, a combination of seafood including lobster meat, scallop and prawn with E-Fu noodles in chicken broth.

Some of the specialties and dim sum meals for the evening include Steamed Clams, Roasted Duck and Lau Mai Gai, a mixture of rice, chicken and sausage wrapped in a bamboo leaf. Getting to Mohegan Sun just got easier and a little cheaper as several bus companies from New York and Massachusetts have teamed up with Mohegan Sun to offer an exceptional bus package to their travelers. Starting February 7th and running through February 16th, bus travelers will receive a lucky red envelope containing anywhere from $5.00 to $100.00 upon arrival, excluding arrivals from 9:00pm on Saturday, February 9th through 2:00pm on Sunday, February 10th. |
