Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Project Sunlight, an estimated $50 million hotel expansion project at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, is planned for development and construction on land adjacent to the existing casino facility. When completed, Project Sunlight is anticipated to include a 238-room hotel with a fitness center, an indoor pool, a bistro and a 20,000-square-foot convention center. Project Sunlight is being developed and built by Downs Lodging, a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Authority, on land leased from Downs Racing. The anticipated costs for Project Sunlight will be funded through a combination of non-recourse third-party financing obtained by Downs Lodging of approximately $45 million and a $5 million investment by the Authority. Construction of Project Sunlight commenced in July 2012 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. Once completed, the hotel and convention center will be operated by Downs Racing under a triple net lease from Downs Lodging.
