The artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (people have to make that joke all the time, right?) will be playing three shows at Mohegan Sun at the end of the month, and if you’re a fan of Prince, you better hop on these tickets: These shows will be the only stop Prince’s tour makes on the East Coast.

If you’re not a fan of Prince, rethink that decision and welcome the wonderful world that is a Prince concert into your hearts.

Whether you’re a ‘Purple Rain’ or a ‘Raspberry Beret’ kind of listener, chances are Prince has a purplish hue tucked up his sleeve that will tickle your fancy. Plus, most people want to spend a weekend at a casino, but you kind of need an excuse to do that (see: Bachelorette/Bachelor parties, 21st birthdays, etc.). Here’s an excuse: Prince!

The legend himself will be headlining Mohegan Sun the weekend after Christmas: December 27, 28 and 29. If you’ve had a lackluster 2013 and want to do something to make it right, here’s a Grammy winning music icon on a golden platter. Tickets for the whole weekend (all three shows) are $125-195, so stick it on your Christmas list and gear up for “A Special Evening with Prince.”

Tickets go on sale this morning, December 6, at 10 a.m., and since Prince won’t be gracing any other nearby city with his presence in the coming months, act now, cause they’re sure to sell like hot pants.

And not to mention, Prince and a casino go together like nothing else. Isn’t that a saying or something?
