Guest Room at Mohegan Sun
Julie Register, Your Guide to Spas, visited this Casino Spa in Southeast Connecticut in December 2002


Guest Room #2009 at Mohegan Sun.

     The symbol above the room number represents ears of corn that reflect the four sacred directions: north, south, east and west. 
     Some of the symbols at the resort are multi-colored. Traditionally, Indian corn comes in many colors, including the red, blue, green and purple. Each ear correlates with a season. The annual green corn festival of late summer is called Wigwam. Purple corn is reminiscent of the violets of spring. Blue corn recalls the ice blue color of winter and rust red evokes the Connecticut leaves in fall. Each color has broader significance as well. For example, blue represents the sky and spirit. Red is the color of women and life.
     Inside the four ears of corn is the Mohegan Tribal symbol - four semicircles that stand for the four corners of the earth under the sky dome (yellow when the symbol is multi-colored). At the center is a dot that indicates the spiritual life force felt throughout the universe (red when the symbol is multi-colored). And the four dots represent the people who travel to the Mohegan reservation (black when the symbol is multi-colored).
