Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION	ORGANIZATION: The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut (the “Mohegan Tribe” or the “Tribe”) established the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (the “Authority”) in July 1995 with the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate gaming activities for the Tribe on Tribal lands and the non-exclusive authority to conduct such activities elsewhere. The Tribe is a federally-recognized Indian tribe with an approximately 595 -acre reservation situated in Southeastern Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, federally-recognized Indian tribes are permitted to conduct full-scale casino gaming operations on tribal lands, subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a compact with the affected state. The Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into a compact (the “Mohegan Compact”), which was approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior. The Authority is primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and development of gaming facilities. In October 1996, the Authority opened Mohegan Sun, a gaming and entertainment complex situated on an approximately 185 -acre site on the Tribe's reservation. The Authority is governed by a nine -member Management Board, whose members also comprise the Mohegan Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe. Any change in the composition of the Mohegan Tribal Council results in a corresponding change in the Authority's Management Board. As of December 31, 2015 , the following subsidiaries were wholly-owned by the Authority: Mohegan Basketball Club, LLC (“MBC”), Mohegan Golf, LLC (“Mohegan Golf”), Mohegan Lacrosse, LLC (“Mohegan Lacrosse”), Mohegan Commercial Ventures-PA, LLC (“MCV-PA”), Mohegan Ventures-Northwest, LLC (“Mohegan Ventures-NW”), Mohegan Ventures Wisconsin, LLC (“MVW”), MTGA Gaming, LLC (“MTGA Gaming”), Downs Lodging, LLC ("Downs Lodging") and Mohegan Gaming Advisors, LLC ("Mohegan Gaming Advisors"). MBC owns and operates the Connecticut Sun, a professional basketball team in the Women's National Basketball Association (the “WNBA”). MBC currently owns a 4.2% membership interest in WNBA, LLC. Mohegan Golf owns and operates the Mohegan Sun Golf Club in Southeastern Connecticut. Mohegan Lacrosse holds a 50% membership interest in New England Black Wolves, LLC (“NEBW”), which was formed with an unrelated third-party to own and operate the New England Black Wolves, a professional indoor lacrosse team in the National Lacrosse League. MCV-PA holds a 0.01% general partnership interest in each of Downs Racing, L.P. (“Downs Racing”), Backside, L.P., Mill Creek Land, L.P. and Northeast Concessions, L.P. (collectively, along with MCV-PA, the “Pocono Subsidiaries”), while the Authority holds the remaining 99.99% limited partnership interest in each entity. Downs Racing owns and operates Mohegan Sun Pocono, a gaming and entertainment facility situated on an approximately 400 -acre site in Plains Township, Pennsylvania, and several off-track wagering facilities located elsewhere in Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Pennsylvania Facilities”). The Authority views Mohegan Sun and the Pennsylvania Facilities as two separate operating segments. Mohegan Ventures-NW and a subsidiary of the Tribe hold 49.15% and 10.85% membership interests in Salishan-Mohegan, LLC (“Salishan-Mohegan”), respectively. Salishan-Mohegan was formed with an unrelated third-party to participate in the development and management of a proposed casino to be owned by the federally-recognized Cowlitz Indian Tribe (the “Cowlitz Tribe”) and to be located on the Cowlitz reservation in Clark County, Washington (the “Cowlitz Project”). Salishan-Mohegan holds a 100% membership interest in Salishan-Mohegan Two, LLC, which was formed to acquire certain property related to the Cowlitz Project. MVW holds a 100% membership interest in Wisconsin Tribal Gaming, LLC (“WTG”), which was formed to participate in the development of a proposed casino to be owned by the federally-recognized Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin (the “Menominee Tribe”) and to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin (the “Menominee Project”). MTGA Gaming holds a 100% membership interest in Mohegan Gaming & Hospitality, LLC (“MG&H”). MG&H holds a 100% membership interest in Mohegan Resorts, LLC (“Mohegan Resorts”). Mohegan Resorts holds a 100% membership interest in Mohegan Resorts Mass, LLC, which was formed to pursue potential gaming opportunities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Downs Lodging was formed to develop, finance and build Project Sunlight, a hotel and convention center located at Mohegan Sun Pocono. Mohegan Gaming Advisors was formed to pursue gaming opportunities outside the State of Connecticut, including management contracts and consulting agreements for casino and entertainment properties. Mohegan Gaming Advisors holds 100% membership interests in MGA Holding NJ, LLC ("MGA Holding NJ") and MGA Gaming NJ, LLC (collectively, the "Mohegan NJ Entities"). The Mohegan NJ Entities were formed to pursue management contracts and consulting agreements in the State of New Jersey. MGA Holding NJ holds a 10% ownership interest in Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and its associated gaming activities, including on-line gaming in the State of New Jersey. Mohegan Gaming Advisors also holds 100% membership interests in MGA Holding MA, LLC (“MGA Holding MA”) and MGA Gaming MA, LLC (“MGA Gaming MA”). MGA Holding MA holds a 100% membership interest in MGA Palmer Partners, LLC (“MGA Palmer Partners”). MGA Palmer Partners holds a 100% membership interest in Mohegan Sun Massachusetts, LLC ("Mohegan Sun Massachusetts"; Mohegan Sun Massachusetts, MGA Holding MA, MGA Gaming MA and MGA Palmer Partners are referred to collectively as the “Mohegan MA Entities”). The Mohegan MA Entities were formed to pursue potential gaming opportunities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In addition, Mohegan Gaming Advisors holds a 100% membership interest in Inspire Integrated Resort Co., Ltd ("Inspire Integrated Resort"). Inspire Integrated Resort was formed to pursue potential gaming opportunities in South Korea. Mohegan Gaming Advisors also holds 100% membership interests in MGNV, LLC ("MGNV").

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In management's opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Authority's operating results for the interim period, have been included. In addition, certain amounts in the accompanying 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements and supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. The gaming market in the Northeastern United States is seasonal in nature, with peak gaming activities often occurring at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun Pocono during the months of May through August. Accordingly, the Authority's operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or an entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Authority's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 . Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Authority and its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) pertaining to consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of Salishan-Mohegan are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Ventures-NW and the accounts of NEBW are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Lacrosse as Mohegan Ventures-NW and Mohegan Lacrosse are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries. In consolidation, all inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated. Long-Term Receivables Long-term receivables consist primarily of receivables from affiliates and others. Receivables from affiliates, which are included in receivables, net, and other assets, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, consist of reimbursable costs and expenses advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe for the Cowlitz Project (refer to Note 6) and WTG on behalf of the Menominee Tribe for the Menominee Project. The Salishan-Mohegan receivables are payable upon: (1) the related property being taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior and (2) the receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino. The Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, which is based on the Authority's estimate of the probability that the receivables will be collected. The Authority assesses the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables for adequacy on a quarterly basis. In March 2015, the Cowlitz Project site was taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior for the benefit of the Cowlitz Tribe. In addition, on December 4, 2015, the Cowlitz Tribal Gaming Authority (the “CTGA”) closed on its financing for the Cowlitz Project. The financing provided funding for construction of the Cowlitz Project and a partial repayment of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables. In connection with this transaction, the Authority reduced the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables. Future developments in the construction and opening of the proposed casino or other matters affecting the Cowlitz Project could affect the collectability of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables and the related reserve. The WTG receivables, which were fully reserved, were written-off following the expiration of a release and reimbursement agreement on December 31, 2015. Receivables from others, which are primarily included in other assets, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, consist of funds loaned to a third-party in connection with the Cowlitz Project and a loan to a tenant of Mohegan Sun. The following table presents a reconciliation of long-term receivables, including current portions, and the related reserves for doubtful collection of these long-term receivables (in thousands): Long-Term Receivables Affiliates Others Total Balance, September 30, 2015 (1) $ 100,527 $ 1,811 $ 102,338 Additions: Advances and other loans, including interest receivable 1,810 513 2,323 Development fees 4,459 — 4,459 Deductions: Payments (2) (19,400 ) (41 ) (19,441 ) Adjustments (3) (9,793 ) — (9,793 ) Balance, December 31, 2015 (1) $ 77,603 $ 2,283 $ 79,886 __________ (1) Includes interest receivable of $43.7 million and $43.4 million as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. (2) Payments of receivables from affiliates represent a partial repayment of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables. (3) Adjustments represent the write-off of the WTG receivables. Reserves for Doubtful Collection of Long-Term Receivables Affiliates Others Total Balance, September 30, 2015 $ 31,028 $ 42 $ 31,070 Additions: Charges to bad debt expense 709 — 709 Deductions: Adjustments (1) (17,108 ) (3 ) (17,111 ) Balance, December 31, 2015 $ 14,629 $ 39 $ 14,668 __________ . (1) Adjustments to reserves for doubtful collection of receivables from affiliates include $7.3 million related to the Salishan-Mohegan receivables and $9.8 million related to the WTG receivables. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value amounts presented below are reported to satisfy disclosure requirements pursuant to authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to disclosures about fair values of financial instruments and are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Authority could realize in a current market transaction. The Authority applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs utilized to measure fair value into three levels: • Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and • Level 3 - Valuations based on models where the significant inputs are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Authority's estimates or assumptions that market participants would utilize in pricing such assets or liabilities. The Authority's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade payables and promissory notes and certain credit facilities approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of the Authority's financing facilities and notes were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2015 Carrying Value Fair Value Senior Secured Credit Facility - Revolving $ 58,000 $ 55,626 Senior Secured Credit Facility - Term Loan A $ 104,346 $ 103,316 Senior Secured Credit Facility - Term Loan B $ 768,666 $ 763,561 2013 9 3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes $ 577,985 $ 595,969 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes $ 97,348 $ 94,625 2012 11% Senior Subordinated Notes $ 99,029 $ 100,941 The estimated fair values of the Authority's financing facilities and notes were based on Level 2 inputs (quoted market prices or prices of similar instruments) on or about December 31, 2015 . Additional Cash Flow Information On December 31, 2015, the debt service provider for the Authority’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities made required principal payments to the lenders of the Authority’s Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility totaling $30.2 million . As of December 31, 2015, the Authority reflected this transaction as a reduction to current portion of long-term debt and a corresponding increase to other current liabilities. On the following banking day, the debt service provider withdrew the $30.2 million from the Authority’s bank account, resulting in a reduction to the Authority’s cash and cash equivalents and other current liabilities. Accordingly, the Authority classified the payments made by the debt service provider to the lenders of the Authority’s Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility as non-cash financing outflows and the related amounts owed to the debt service provider as non-cash financing inflows in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. In addition, in connection with the financing for the Cowlitz Project, the Cowlitz Tribe repaid $6.0 million of principal outstanding under the 2012 Mohegan Tribe Minor's Trust Promissory Note on behalf of Salishan-Mohegan. Accordingly, the Authority classified this payment as a non-cash financing outflow with a corresponding non-cash investing inflow for the related reduction to the Salishan-Mohegan receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows . New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The update requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be required to be applied on a retrospective basis, using one of two methodologies, and was to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not being permitted. However, in July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year. This guidance will now be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods thereafter. Entities are permitted to adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The update requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. It also requires management to provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance will be required for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods thereafter, with early application permitted. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends existing requirements applicable to reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. This guidance will be required to be applied either on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim reporting periods thereafter, with early application permitted. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities mature on June 15, 2018, subject to extension based on the satisfaction of certain conditions to November 19, 2018 (in the case of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility) and November 19, 2019 (in the case of the Term Loan B Facility). In August 2015, the Authority entered into an increase joinder and amendment agreement among the Authority, the Tribe, the Guarantors as defined below, Citizens Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, amending the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the amendment, the Authority borrowed $90.0 million of increase term B loans on the same terms as the existing term B loans under the Term Loan B Facility. The net proceeds from this transaction were used to redeem outstanding 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (further discussed below). The Term Loan A Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 5.0% of the original principal amount for the first year after the closing date, 7.5% of the original principal amount for the second year after the closing date and 10.0% of the original principal amount in each year thereafter, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan A Facility. The Term Loan B Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount. Amortization of the Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility began with the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date. As of December 31, 2015 , amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility totaled $58.0 million , $106.2 million and $782.3 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2015 , letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility totaled $3.0 million , of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility, the Authority had approximately $39.0 million of borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Line of Credit as of December 31, 2015 . Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities accrue interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A Facility, at a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the one -month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (the highest of (a), (b) and (c), the “base rate”), plus a leverage-based margin of 250 to 350 basis points; (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A Facility, at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a leverage-based margin of 350 to 450 basis points; (iii) for base rate loans under the Term Loan B Facility, at the base rate (subject to a 2.0% floor) plus 350 basis points; and (iv) for Eurodollar rate loans under the Term Loan B Facility, at the applicable LIBOR rate (subject to a 1.0% floor) plus 450 basis points. The Authority is also required to pay a leverage-based commitment fee of between 37.5 and 50 basis points for unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans of three months or less is payable at the end of each applicable interest period and for Eurodollar rate loans of more than three months, interest is payable at intervals of three months duration after the beginning of such interest period. As of December 31, 2015 , interest on the $58.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility was based on a base rate of 3.50% plus 300 basis points. The commitment fee was 0.50% as of December 31, 2015 . As of December 31, 2015 , interest on the $106.2 million outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility was based on a Eurodollar rate of 0.42% plus 400 basis points. As of December 31, 2015 , interest on the $782.3 million outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility was based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.0% plus 450 basis points. As of December 31, 2015 , the effective interest rates for amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility, after taking into account discounts and debt issuance costs, were 5.30% and 6.24% , respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , accrued interest, including commitment fees, on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was $176,000 and $195,000 , respectively. The Authority's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Pocono Subsidiaries, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW, WTG and MTGA Gaming (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Authority's property and assets and those of the Guarantors (other than MBC), including the assets that comprise Mohegan Sun Pocono and a leasehold mortgage on the land and improvements that comprise Mohegan Sun (the Authority and the Guarantors, other than MBC, are collectively referred to herein as the “Grantors”). The Grantors are also required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as they and future guarantor subsidiaries acquire them. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary covenants applicable to the Authority and its restricted subsidiaries, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, investments, asset sales, affiliate transactions, mergers or consolidations and capital expenditures. Additionally, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include financial maintenance covenants pertaining to total leverage, secured leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage. As of December 31, 2015 , the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Authority continues to monitor revenues and manage expenses and enhance operating efficiencies to ensure continued compliance with its financial covenant requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. While the Authority anticipates that it will remain in compliance with all covenant requirements under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities for all periods prior to maturity, it may need to increase revenues or offset any future declines in revenues by implementing cost saving and other initiatives to ensure compliance with these financial covenant requirements. If the Authority is unable to satisfy its financial covenant requirements, it would need to obtain waivers or consents under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; however, the Authority can provide no assurance that it would be able to obtain such waivers or consents. If the Authority is unable to obtain such waivers or consents, it would be in default under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which may result in cross-defaults under its other outstanding indebtedness and allow its lenders and creditors to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements, including their right to accelerate the repayment of the Authority's outstanding indebtedness. If such acceleration were to occur, the Authority can provide no assurance that it would be able to obtain the financing necessary to repay such accelerated indebtedness. Senior Unsecured Notes 2013 9 3 / 4 % Senior Unsecured Notes In August 2013, the Authority issued $500.0 million Senior Unsecured Notes with fixed interest payable at a rate of 9.75% per annum (the “Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In August 2015, the Authority issued an additional $85.0 million of senior unsecured notes under the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture (the “Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, the “2013 Senior Unsecured Notes”). Subsequent to this transaction, an aggregate principal amount of $585.0 million 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes is outstanding. As of December 31, 2015 , the effective interest rate for the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, after taking into account premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs, was 10.03% . The net proceeds from the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to redeem outstanding 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (further discussed below). The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes mature on September 1, 2021. The Authority may redeem the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to September 1, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any, pursuant to the registration rights agreement described below) to the date of redemption. On or after September 1, 2016, the Authority may redeem the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, together with accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any) to the date of redemption. If the Authority experiences specific kinds of change of control triggering events, the Authority must offer to repurchase the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any) to the purchase date. In addition, if the Authority undertakes certain types of asset sales and does not use the related sale proceeds for specified purposes, the Authority may be required to offer to repurchase the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any). Interest on the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually on March 1 st and September 1 st . In March 2014, the Authority completed an offer to exchange the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, with all outstanding notes being exchanged. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , accrued interest on the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes was $19.0 million and $4.8 million , respectively. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority and are effectively subordinated to all of the Authority’s and the Guarantors' and future guarantor subsidiaries' senior secured indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are also effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Authority’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Authority’s other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, including trade payables. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture contains certain covenants that, subject to certain significant exceptions, limit, among other things, the Authority’s and Guarantors’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company or transfer and sell assets. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture also includes customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to pay certain other indebtedness, the occurrence of which is caused by a failure to pay principal, premium or interest or results in the acceleration of such indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency and certain judgment defaults. Registration Rights Agreement In August 2015, the Authority and the Guarantors of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes entered into a registration rights agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several initial purchasers of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement, the Authority agreed to offer to exchange the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, pursuant to a registration statement effective within 270 days of issuance, for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Exchange Offer"). Under certain circumstances set forth in the registration rights agreement, the Authority may also be obligated to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes.

On November 20, 2015, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Authority entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Authority, the Tribe and the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”). In accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Authority issued floating rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “2015 Senior Unsecured Notes”) to the Purchaser in a private offering that closed on November 20, 2015. The net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to pursue new development opportunities and for general corporate purposes. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations. Pursuant to a guarantee agreement dated November 20, 2015, certain of the Authority's subsidiaries, which are the same Guarantors that guarantee the Authority's Senior Secured Credit Facilities and other senior unsecured and senior subordinated notes, have guaranteed the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes.

If the Authority experiences specific kinds of change of control events, undertakes certain types of asset sales or experiences certain swap-related credit determinations, it will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes at purchase prices set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, if any gaming regulatory authority requires a holder of the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, and such holder does not obtain such license, qualification or finding of suitability within a specified time, the Authority can call for redemption of the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes held by such holder. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes and guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority and are effectively subordinated to all of the Authority’s and the Guarantors’ and future guarantor subsidiaries’ senior secured indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

If a change of control of the Authority occurs, the Authority must offer to repurchase the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. In addition, if the Authority undertakes certain types of asset sales or suffers events of loss, and the Authority does not use the related sale or insurance proceeds for specified purposes, the Authority may be required to offer to repurchase the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

If the Authority elects to pay PIK Interest, such election will increase the principal amount of the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest payment period to holders of 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes on the relevant record date. In August 2013, the Authority repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $69.0 million 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes.

As of December 31, 2015 , the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the senior and senior subordinated note indentures and other debt agreements. The Authority or its affiliates may, from time to time, seek to purchase or otherwise retire outstanding indebtedness for cash in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such transaction will depend on prevailing market conditions and the Authority's liquidity and covenant requirement restrictions, among other factors. Line of Credit In November 2013, the Authority entered into a $16.5 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Line of Credit”).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Slot Win and Free Promotional Slot Play Contributions In May 1994, the Tribe and the State of Connecticut entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which sets forth certain matters regarding implementation of the Mohegan Compact. The MOU stipulates that a portion of revenues from slot machines must be paid to the State of Connecticut (“Slot Win Contribution”). Slot Win Contribution payments are not required if the State of Connecticut legalizes any other gaming operation with slot machines, video facsimiles of games of chance or other commercial casino games within the State of Connecticut, except those consented to by the Tribe and the MPT. For each 12 -month period commencing July 1, 1995, Slot Win Contribution payments shall be the lesser of: (1) 30% of gross revenues from slot machines or (2) the greater of (a) 25% of gross revenues from slot machines or (b) $80.0 million . In September 2009, the Authority entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Connecticut regarding contribution payments on the Authority's free promotional slot play program. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, effective July 1, 2009, the State of Connecticut agreed that no value shall be attributed to free promotional slot plays utilized by patrons at Mohegan Sun for purposes of calculating monthly contribution payments, provided that the aggregate amount of free promotional slot plays during any month does not exceed a certain threshold of gross revenues from slot machines for such month. In the event free promotional slot plays granted by the Authority exceed such threshold, contribution payments are required on such excess face amount of free promotional slot plays at the same rate as Slot Win Contribution payments, or 25% . The threshold before contribution payments on free promotional slot plays are required is currently 11% of gross revenues from slot machines. The Authority reflected expenses associated with the combined Slot Win Contribution and free promotional slot play contribution totaling $35.8 million and $36.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the combined outstanding Slot Win Contribution and free promotional slot play contribution totaled $11.8 million and $11.9 million , respectively. Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax Downs Racing holds a Category One slot machine license issued by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (the “PGCB”) for the operation of slot machines at Mohegan Sun Pocono. This license permits Downs Racing to install and operate up to 3,000 slot machines at Mohegan Sun Pocono, expandable to up to a total of 5,000 slot machines upon request and approval of the PGCB. The Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act stipulates that holders of Category One slot machine licenses must pay a portion of revenues from slot machines to the PGCB on a daily basis (“Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax”), which includes local share assessments to be paid to the cities and municipalities hosting Mohegan Sun Pocono and amounts to be paid to the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association, Inc. (the “PHHA”). The Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax is currently 55% of gross revenues from slot machines, 2% of which is subject to a $10.0 million minimum annual threshold to ensure that the host cities and municipalities receive an annual minimum of $10.0 million in local share assessments. Downs Racing maintains a $1.5 million escrow deposit in the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax payments, which was included in other assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax totaling $30.4 million and $29.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , outstanding Pennsylvania Slot Machine Tax payments totaled $6.7 million and $4.7 million , respectively. Pennsylvania Table Game Tax In January 2010, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania amended the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act to allow slot machine operators in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to obtain a table game operation certificate and operate certain table games, including poker. Under the amended law, holders of table game operation certificates must pay a portion of revenues from table games to the PGCB on a weekly basis (“Pennsylvania Table Game Tax”). The Pennsylvania Table Game Tax is currently 12% , plus the 2% local share assessments. The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Table Game Tax totaling $1.6 million for each of the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , outstanding Pennsylvania Table Game Tax payments totaled $229,000 and $148,000 , respectively. Pennsylvania Regulatory Fee Slot machine licensees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are required to reimburse state gaming regulatory agencies for various administrative and operating expenses (“Pennsylvania Regulatory Fee”) at a rate of 1.5% of gross revenues from slot machines and table games. The Authority reflected expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Regulatory Fee totaling $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , outstanding Pennsylvania Regulatory Fee payments to the PGCB totaled $115,000 and $70,000 , respectively. Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Loans The PGCB was initially granted $36.1 million in loans to fund start-up costs for gaming in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which are to be repaid by slot machine licensees (the "Initial Loans"). The PGCB was subsequently granted an additional $63.8 million in loans to fund ongoing gaming oversight costs, which are also to be repaid by slot machine licensees (the "Subsequent Loans"). Repayment of the Initial Loans will commence when all 14 authorized gaming facilities are opened in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Currently, 12 of the 14 authorized gaming facilities have commenced operations. As of December 31, 2015 , the Authority has concluded that a repayment contingency for the Initial Loans is probable but not reasonably estimable since the PGCB has not yet established a method of assessment of repayment for the Initial Loans and, as such, the Authority has not recorded a related accrual for such repayment. In June 2011, the PGCB adopted a method of assessment of repayment for the Subsequent Loans pursuant to which repayment commenced on January 1, 2012 and will continue over a 10 -year period in accordance with a formula based on a combination of a single fiscal year and cumulative gross revenues from slot machines for each operating slot machine licensee. The Authority reflected expenses associated with this repayment schedule totaling $157,000 for each of the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Horsemen’s Agreement Downs Racing and the PHHA are parties to an agreement that governs all live harness racing and simulcasting and account wagering at the Pennsylvania Facilities through December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , outstanding payments to the PHHA for purses earned by horsemen, but not yet paid, and other fees totaled $5.7 million and $7.4 million , respectively. Priority Distribution Agreement In August 2001, the Authority and the Tribe entered into an agreement (the “Priority Distribution Agreement”), which stipulates that the Authority must make monthly payments to the Tribe to the extent of the Authority's Net Cash Flow as defined under the Priority Distribution Agreement. The Priority Distribution Agreement was amended as of December 31, 2014. As amended, the Priority Distribution Agreement, which has a perpetual term, limits the minimum aggregate priority distribution payments in each calendar year to $40.0 million . Payments under the Priority Distribution Agreement: (1) do not reduce the Authority's obligations to reimburse the Tribe for governmental and administrative services provided by the Tribe or to make payments under any other agreements with the Tribe, (2) are limited obligations of the Authority and are payable only to the extent of the Authority's Net Cash Flow as defined under the Priority Distribution Agreement and (3) are not secured by a lien or encumbrance on any of the Authority's assets or properties. The Authority reflected payments associated with the Priority Distribution Agreement totaling $10.0 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Litigation The Authority is a defendant in various litigation matters resulting from its normal course of business. In management's opinion, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigations will not have a material impact on the Authority's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cowlitz Project
Schedule of Long-term Development Projects [Line Items]
COWLITZ PROJECT	COWLITZ PROJECT: In September 2004, Salishan-Mohegan entered into development and management agreements with the Cowlitz Tribe in connection with the Cowlitz Project, which agreements have been amended from time to time. Under the terms of the development agreement, Salishan-Mohegan assists in securing financing, as well as administration and oversight of the planning, designing, development, construction and furnishing of the proposed casino. The development agreement provides for development fees of 3% of total project costs, as defined under the development agreement. Under the terms of Salishan-Mohegan's operating agreement, development fees are distributed to Mohegan Ventures-NW. In 2006, pursuant to the development agreement, Salishan-Mohegan purchased an approximately 152 -acre site for the proposed casino. In addition, certain receivables contributed to Salishan-Mohegan and amounts advanced by Salishan-Mohegan on behalf of the Cowlitz Tribe are reimbursable to Salishan-Mohegan by the Cowlitz Tribe, subject to appropriate approvals defined under the development agreement. Reimbursements are contingent upon: (1) the related property being taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior and (2) the receipt of necessary financing for the development of the proposed casino. Under the terms of the management agreement, Salishan-Mohegan will manage, operate and maintain the proposed casino for a period of seven years following its opening. The management agreement provides for management fees of 24% of net revenues, as defined under the management agreement, which approximates net income earned from the Cowlitz Project. Under the terms of Salishan-Mohegan’s operating agreement, management fees will be allocated to the members of Salishan-Mohegan based on their respective membership interests. The management agreement is subject to approval by the National Indian Gaming Commission. In August 2014, the Cowlitz Tribe’s Class III Tribal-State gaming compact with the State of Washington became effective with notice of federal approval published in the Federal Register. According to the notice, the compact allows for two gaming facilities, allocates 975 gaming machines for leasing, authorizes the operation of up to 3,000 gaming machines and 125 table games, and is in effect until terminated by written agreement of both parties. In March 2013, litigation commenced challenging the decision of the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior to take the Cowlitz Project site into trust. In December 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants in the case, thereby upholding the Record of Decision to take the site into trust. The matter was subsequently appealed and such appeal remains pending before the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Authority can provide no assurance as to the outcome of the appeal or any future litigation. In March 2015, the Cowlitz Project site was taken into trust by the United States Department of the Interior for the benefit of the Cowlitz Tribe. In connection with this event, the Cowlitz Tribe leased a substantial portion of the Cowlitz Project site back to Salishan-Mohegan for a nominal rental fee. Construction of the Cowlitz Project commenced in September 2015 and is anticipated to be completed in late spring of 2017. The Authority can provide no assurance that remaining permits or approvals related to construction and opening or other remaining steps and conditions for the Cowlitz Project site to be approved for gaming will be satisfied. On December 4, 2015, the CTGA closed on its financing for the Cowlitz Project. The financing provided funding for construction of the Cowlitz Project and a partial repayment of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables. In connection with this transaction, Salishan-Mohegan was repaid $19.4 million of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, a portion of which was used to repay certain outstanding debt of Salishan-Mohegan. Under the terms of the development agreement, the remaining outstanding Salishan-Mohegan receivables are to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a seven -year period commencing the first month following the opening of the Cowlitz Project. The remaining outstanding Salishan-Mohegan receivables accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 1.0% above the Cowlitz Project financing rate, or 12.5% . Pursuant to the development agreement, repayment of the remaining Salishan-Mohegan receivables may accelerate depending on the level of available cash at the end of each fiscal year, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the development agreement, including conditions of the Cowlitz financing. Also in connection with the Cowlitz financing, Salishan-Mohegan assigned the lease for the Cowlitz Project site to CTGA. The Authority maintains a reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, which is based on the Authority's estimate of the probability that the receivables will be collected. The Authority assesses the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables for adequacy on a quarterly basis. Following the Cowlitz financing, the Authority reduced the reserve for doubtful collection of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables. Future developments in the construction and opening of the proposed casino or other matters affecting the Cowlitz Project could affect the collectability of the Salishan-Mohegan receivables and the related reserve. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the Salishan-Mohegan receivables, including accrued interest, totaled $73.1 million and $90.7 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , related reserves for doubtful collection totaled $14.6 million and $21.2 million , respectively. The Salishan-Mohegan receivables were included in receivables, net, and other assets, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Authority earned $4.5 million in development fees for the three months ended December 31, 2015 .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In management's opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Authority's operating results for the interim period, have been included. In addition, certain amounts in the accompanying 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements and supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. The gaming market in the Northeastern United States is seasonal in nature, with peak gaming activities often occurring at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun Pocono during the months of May through August. Accordingly, the Authority's operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or an entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Authority's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 .
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Authority and its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) pertaining to consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of Salishan-Mohegan are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Ventures-NW and the accounts of NEBW are consolidated into the accounts of Mohegan Lacrosse as Mohegan Ventures-NW and Mohegan Lacrosse are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries. In consolidation, all inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value amounts presented below are reported to satisfy disclosure requirements pursuant to authoritative guidance issued by the FASB pertaining to disclosures about fair values of financial instruments and are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Authority could realize in a current market transaction. The Authority applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs utilized to measure fair value into three levels: • Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and • Level 3 - Valuations based on models where the significant inputs are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Authority's estimates or assumptions that market participants would utilize in pricing such assets or liabilities. The Authority's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The update requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be required to be applied on a retrospective basis, using one of two methodologies, and was to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not being permitted. However, in July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year. This guidance will now be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods thereafter. Entities are permitted to adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The update requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. It also requires management to provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance will be required for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods thereafter, with early application permitted. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends existing requirements applicable to reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. This guidance will be required to be applied either on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim reporting periods thereafter, with early application permitted. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.
