PA’s premier Gaming & Entertainment Destination also re-opens Spa Sapphire; and Wise Crackers Comedy Club has a new Location
WILKES-BARRE, PA (February 7, 2024) – Last year Mohegan Pennsylvania embarked on a $10 million refresh to its hotel with the aim of refreshing and updating all 238-rooms and suites. That goal was achieved this fall with the completion of the final stage of this major renovation known as “Project Starlight,” which also saw enhancements and new openings across the resort.
“As can be seen from the new images on MoheganPA.com and for anyone who has stayed with us recently, the look & feel of our renovated hotel rooms is exceptional,” -said Tony Carlucci, President & GM of Mohegan PA. “Along with our partner Daroff Design, we set out to create a fresher and more contemporary atmosphere with upgraded amenities and we’re thrilled with the results. Every detail was considered during this project, and we’re delighted with the new hotel experience that has already generated great feedback from guests!”
This major project on the Mohegan Pennsylvania Hotel included a complete renovation to all guests rooms. This meant that brand new bathrooms, more comfortable beds and upgraded workspaces were key areas of improvement. Enhanced WiFi and new smart TVs with bill review and check out accessibility are also now featured at the hotel. There are also 20 luxurious suites which offer more space and additional rooms. The design concept for the project also drew inspiration from the incredible topography, landscape, natural resources and personality of the Susquehanna River Valley. Daroff Design brought this to life; marrying it to enhanced functionality for guests, which not only creates a beautiful room for guests, but meets their needs and comforts as well.
Guests can visit moheganpa.com/booking.html for online reservations or call 1.888.WIN.IN.PA for assistance.
On the first floor of the Hotel at Mohegan Pennsylvania also sits the popular 4,000 square-foot Spa Sapphire. Known for luxury and legendary services, Spa Sapphire offers a wide array of treatments including massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, hair and makeup. The spa is open Thursday – Saturday and is also home to a full-service men’s salon, couples suite, sauna and more. Reservations and more info can be found by calling 570-270-5555 or visiting moheganpa.com and navigating to the Hotel & Spa tab.
Mohegan Pennsylvania has also relocated Wise Crackers Comedy Club to a more convenient location for comedy goers, as the venue is now just steps from the hotel lobby. The venue features a regular lineup of incredible stand-up comedians, WiseCrackers regularly features live music, magic, ventriloquism and more. Hilarious acts scheduled for the winter season include Eagle Witt with Jarrod Micale on Friday, February 9th and Saturday, February 10th; Bryan McKenna with Mike Toohey and Keir Williams on Friday, February 16th and Saturday, February 17th and Joe Fisch with Sam Rubinoff and Sarah Bell on Friday, February 23rd and Saturday, February 24th. Performances begin at 9:00pm and tickets are available at wizecrackers.biz.
The first major enhancements that opened as part of Project Starlight occurred just ahead of summer 2022 when Mohegan PA launched The Hive Taphouse (which is also home to Top Golf Swing Suites) and the outdoor attraction, Embers Terrace at Hive. The Hive Taphouse features Trivia and Karoke on Fridays and a rotation of incredible local music acts every Saturday including The Fuchery on February 10th, Down and Jay Orrell Duo on February 17th. The Hive is home to 20+ beers on tap and a full menu that serves up “Taco Tuesdays” with half-off tacos and “Burger Wednesdays” with half-off burgers.
