This Town Knows How to Have Fun

Mohegan Sun Pocono - Casinos - Wilkes-Barre - DiscoverNEPA

Nights come alive on Plains Township’s east side where people come from all over NEPA and even out of state to try their luck at the Mohegan Sun Casino. While those looking to play it safe may take in a comedy show or dance the night away at one of the nearby nightclubs.

The Wooodlands Inn & Resort is a popular spot for live music, dancing and weddings. And if drinks and dancing is not quite your thing, head up the road to the Game Chateau. Gamers of all types and ages can enjoy hours of popular board games, coffee and snacks.

Quiet, Safe and Friendly

Although Plains has much to offer when it comes to entertainment, dining and shopping, its residential neighborhoods are centrally located and family friendly.
