Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING:

As of June 30, 2014, the Authority owns and operates, either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mohegan Sun, the Connecticut Sun franchise, and the Mohegan Sun Golf Club (collectively, the “Connecticut Facilities”), and the Pennsylvania Facilities. Substantially all of the Authority's revenues are derived from these operations. The Connecticut Sun franchise and the Mohegan Sun Golf Club are aggregated with the Mohegan Sun operating segment because these operations all share similar economic characteristics, which is to generate gaming and entertainment revenues by attracting patrons to Mohegan Sun. The Authority's executive officers review and assess the performance and operating results and determine the proper allocation of resources to the Connecticut Facilities and the Pennsylvania Facilities on a separate basis. Accordingly, the Authority has two separate reportable segments: (1) Mohegan Sun, which includes the operations of the Connecticut Facilities, and (2) Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, which includes the operations of the Pennsylvania Facilities. The Authority's operations related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates and certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments, therefore, these operations are included in corporate and other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.
