Even one of the world’s largest casinos can’t put a price on the sexy and timeless little black dress. Mohegan Sun pays homage to the fashion icon every Friday at the
Ultra 88 Nightclub with Little Black Dress Night, where women get in free before 11 p.m. when they don the famous garment.
Not only does the event give women a chance to look their best flaunting their favorite dress and heels, but men also come dressed to impress while they admire one of fashion’s greatest creations.
The posh lounge’s red walls and backlit bars are the perfect atmosphere for the star of the evening, which comes in every form from deep V’s to high slits and everything in between. The popularity of the evening is apparent before you even enter the night club, when a sea of women in black dresses crowd the casino’s walkways and can be seen scattered at slot machines and tables before and after the event.
Inside Ultra 88, the DJ spins Top 40 hits, house music and hip hop through a 30,000-watt sound system that blasts over the packed 400-square-foot dance floor until 2 a.m., and daring women show off their LBDs on raised platforms that project them onto a giant movie-like screen for the whole club to see.
If trying to bust a move in tight spaces with complete strangers isn’t your thing, liquor flows in the form of colorful martinis, mixed drinks and beer from three unique bars where you can sit back, relax and try to fathom how one dress can come in so many different forms.
For VIPs, Ultra 88 offers personalized bottle service and separate suites.
For a fashionable and hip Friday evening with a touch of class, dust off your best LBD or button down shirt and road trip up to Mohegan Sun. Who knows, with a little luck maybe the $10 you save on cover could turn into a fortune at the slots.
