Event Center vs. Casino

Mystic Lake has an Event Center entrance AND a hotel/casino entrance - make sure you get to the correct one! These entrances are on opposite sides of Mystic Lake. Watch signs closely when entering the Mystic Lake campus to make sure you get to the correct location.

If you are coming only to the conference and not checking in at the hotel, go directly to Mystic Lake Center on the North side of the campus. There is a self-park lot outside of the center.

If you are planning to stay overnight at the hotel, go to Mystic Lake Casino Hotel on the South side of the campus. There is complimentary valet at the hotel entrance and self-park lots to the south and west of the casino/hotel.

Please reference the map below for more clarification. If you happen to go to the wrong entrance you might end up getting in your steps for the day. But don't worry - the event center and casino are connected!
