By now, everyone knows that Keith Urban will marry Nicole Kidman this
weekend in Australia. But – just days before the happy event – he has also
agreed to join in Mohegan Sun’s 10th Anniversary celebration in Uncasville,
Connecticut, October 19th-22nd. Urban will take center stage in the Mohegan

the honeymoon continue in Uncasville? Urban joins some of the entertainment
industry’s biggest names for the weekend celebration. They include Jerry
Seinfeld and Lily Tomlin, as well as surprise guest appearances, celebrities
and VIP parties.
