Is the Mohegan Sun comparable at all to the Vegas casinos?

In what way?
It is much larger than the big Vegas casinos, but only about 60% the size of Foxwoods. Good restaurants, good upscale bars, nice hotel. The pools in vegas are much better (much more "talent" hanging around them). The nightlife is better in Vegas. Foxwoods has a better game selection for poker, but it is the 2nd largest poker room in the world in addition to being the 2nd largest casino in the world after Venetian Macao and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. No sportsbook in the CT casinos. Edit: just thought of something else. Foxwoods and Mohegan are less than 1/2 hour drive from the beach, but I doubt Misquamicut is a good substitute for the pools in Vagas.

I am thinking about coming out there for the Thurs. tourny.
If so, any idea on where to stay? For now looking at the Mohegan's rooms

I don't really know much about the other hotels down there, seeing as how I live an hour away, but if Mohegan is booked, try Foxwoods. Only 8.5 miles away.
They are capping the tourney at 800 entries, so call ahead and see if you can buy in remotely just in case. The convention center where they're holding the event is nice, but the tables in the center are not as nice as the tables in the poker room. The tournament tables have strange looking blue felt. probably trying to outdo Foxwoods' annoying gold felt.
