Mohegan, world-renowned entertainment and gaming brand formerly known as Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, announced that the all-new 5000-seat OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, which recently celebrated its Grand Opening with a sell-out Billy Joel performance in February, has been nominated for “Casino of the Year – Arena” by the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM). This venue has also finished the month of March as the top ranked entertainment venue for its size in Canada as well as #10 worldwide for its size.

Mohegan’s flagship property, Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, also announced that Mohegan Sun Arena is the #1 ranked Arena for its size in the US, and ranked #2 worldwide for its size, according to Pollstar Magazine.

“It’s incredible to see the new OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino nominated for its first Casino of the Year award by ACM, a recognition that Mohegan Sun Arena has taken home several times in its history. March was also a phenomenal month for both venues as this is the first time that a casino entertainment organization has had two #1 venues at the same time in two separate countries,” Tom Cantone, President of Sports & Entertainment for Mohegan, said.

“We could not be more honored with the recognition for the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino. Our teams have been working incredibly hard to make our venue an amazing experience for customers, associates the artist and the tours that come through. The hard work is being noticed and there is lots to be proud of,” Richard Tayler, President of Niagara Casinos, said.
