Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE), an arm of the Connecticut-based Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, has announced it will spend up to an additional $142 million to complete its Mohegan Inspire integrated resort (IR) in Incheon, South Korea.
The $5 billion project, originally scheduled to open in 2021, will include a three-tower luxury hotel, a premier shopping district, entertainment amenities including a 15,000-seat indoor arena and outdoor performance space, an indoor water park and a convention center.
Non-gaming amenities at the property are expected to open later this year, with the casino following early in 2024. The gaming hall will be open only to foreigners, so Inspire’s location, on Yeongjong Island in close proximity to Incheon International Airport, is an asset.
The airport, known as “the gateway to Seoul,” can manage 1,000 flights a day and 23,000 million passengers a year. Future phases of development will more than double that capacity.
