Potawatomi Bingo Casino is also one of the premier locations in the Midwest to host events like conferences, corporate meetings, tradeshows, galas, and more. The casino offers state-of-the-art meeting rooms and banquet spaces — each with a unique personality of its own — that will give your event an extra spark of excitement. The venue is comprised of three elements for meeting and convention purposes. They are the Expo Center, Woodland Dreams Ballroom, and the Tribal Room. With over 32,000 sq. ft., your options are endless when it comes to the Expo Center. In one word, this room is big. In fact, it is one of the biggest venues Milwaukee has to offer. It is a blank canvas that can be transformed into just about anything you can imagine, like galas, tradeshows, corporate seminars and receptions. Plus, it is conveniently located off of the skywalk — making it easily accessible from the parking struc- ture, which offers free parking. Take your event to the next level in sophisticated and modern style. Whether you're hosting a large conference, an intimate get-together or a reception, the Woodland Dreams Ballroom will meet your every need. It can accommodate up to 550 people for dinner, or can be sectioned off for a smaller affair. With beautiful views of downtown Milwaukee and a cozy fireplace, the Tribal Room provides an intimate setting for any special occasion. This circular room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, accommodates up to 180 people. The addition of Potawatomi's new hotel in 2014 means an abundance of choices when it comes to planning your event in Milwaukee. There will be eight more meeting spaces to consider. These extra rooms will all be located on one floor of the new hotel, so they are convenient and easy to find. The stunning two-tiered layout of The Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino — with booth and table seating on the first level and traditional theater seating above — means getting up close and personal with all your favorite performers in a way you could only dream of in a casino theater. • • • STATS • • • HOTEL ROOMS Hilton Milwaukee City Center 729 Hyatt Regency Milwaukee 481 Milwaukee Marriott Downtown 205 EXHIBITION FACILITIES The Wisconsin Center Total Exhibit Space 188,695 sq. ft.
