Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, explore the casino floor, grab a bite, and get settled before the doors open. If you’re picking up friends or meeting a group, choose a clear meeting spot inside the casino or hotel lobby to streamline your arrival.

Winter weather in rural Minnesota can impact travel times, so build in extra time for snowy or icy conditions. The event center is indoors, but a warm coat and sturdy footwear make arrival and departure easier when temperatures dip.

Expect a bit of walking between the hotel, casino floor, and event center — the terrain is flat, and wayfinding is straightforward throughout the complex. With on-site amenities and dining options close to the venue, arriving early helps you avoid lines and enjoy a relaxed pre-show experience.

Pre-Event Planning

Turn your show night into a full experience. Arrive early to enjoy the 73,000-square-foot casino floor, then head to the 15,000-square-foot event center for the main event.
