May is National Burger Month. Yes, you read that correctly. And this important cause needs your help. There are no colored bracelets to wear to raise awareness, though. The only thing you need to do is eat hamburgers. Lots of them. And if you head up to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT for some gambling or a show, you can have a different burger every day of the month.

Mohegan Sun’s numerous restaurants teamed up to create 31 unique burgers that they will serve all month. Try one a day, one at each meal or, hey, go for the gusto and have a 31-burger day. It’s like Baskin-Robbins’ 31 flavors but with more bacon.

The hardest part (other than fitting into your pants afterward) is deciding which burgers to try. Some of my favorites:

SolToro Burger at SolToro Tequila Grill: Ground sirloin seasoned with Mexican herbs and spices, topped with chihuahua cheese, guacamole, grilled onions, fire-roasted poblano rajas and bacon.

Chili Size at Johnny Rockets: Served open-faced with our exclusive all-meat chili and topped with grated cheddar cheese and chopped onions.

The Bayou Burger at Big Bubba’s BBQ: Burger topped with ham and cheddar cheese.

Of course, you can head over to Margaritaville for their Cheeseburger in Paradise. But, you can also get a burger from room service while you are in the hotel, in case you are in a food coma and can’t get out of bed. Just be sure to bring some pants with an elastic waistband.

When even the loosest of slots can’t get you up to Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is ready to up the ante. Its “Bets & Bites” deal is designed to lure you and that big jar full of change on your bedroom floor to the casino … of course so you can win big.

For $129 a person (for two people), you’ll get a one-night stay at the casino’s hotel. When you’ve drained your cash at the tables, use a reservation at Todd English‘s Tuscany, Bamboo Forest or any of the other reservations on the property – made a bit easier by the $100 meal credit which will be applied to your room. The chef will even stop by to see how you’re doing.

After you bring your signed copy of Under the Sun: A Celebration of Cuisine & Culture, Mohegan Sun’s cookbook, back to your room, head back downstairs for one last bet. Mohegan includes a $10 play as part of the package. When you book this getaway, mention code PTFBV to take advantage of the deal.
