With Passkey, Mohegan Sun will be able to offer every group or meeting its own customized
hotel reservation website, where event attendees can make and manage their hotel
reservations online, while planners can track hotel block pick-up and reservation status through
real-time reports and updates. Reservations made via the Passkey-enabled websites will flow
directly to Mohegan Sun’s reservation system. In doing Passkey eliminates the need to re-key
data while minimizing book-arounds and attrition and maximizing room block pick-up.
“As a leading meetings and convention facility, it was important to provide our customers with a
business tool that enhanced the experience of doing business with Mohegan Sun. Passkey was
the easy choice,” said Christopher Perry, vice president, hotel sales & marketing at Mohegan
Sun. “Passkey has established itself as THE solution of choice for many of the country's premiere
meetings resorts, making it a tool that customers are using and expect you to have. Mohegan
Sun considers itself among those elite resorts and felt that Passkey was the one remaining
ingredient we needed to give us the complete package to sell to the meetings market.”
Mohegan Sun features 1,200 luxury guest rooms, over 60 shops and restaurants and more than
100,000 square feet of function space accommodating up to 5,300 people. The function space
includes the 38,000 square-foot Uncas Ballroom, which is complemented by 30,000 square feet
of floor space within the Mohegan Sun Arena. The facility also includes 19 individual meeting
rooms that can accommodate from 16 to 240 people, allowing it to house group events of all
sizes. An additional 11,000 square feet of meeting space will be added to the ongoing multimillion
dollar Project Horizon expansion set for completion fall 2010.
“Mohegan Sun has created a true world-class meeting facility and we are excited that they have
chosen to make Passkey a key part of the package they deliver to their meeting planner
customers,” said Greg Pesik, president and CEO, Passkey. “With Passkey in place, Mohegan Sun
delivers planners a complete solution that allows them to operate with greater efficiency, which
ultimately results in heightened business success for both the facility and the planners and
superior attendee satisfaction.”
“Mohegan Sun is always looking for opportunities that put us on the leading edge of technology
and make the experience a “wow” not only for our meeting customers, but for our employees
as well,” adds Perry.
