If you are going to visit the Mall of America, make a note that the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel near Prior Lake is the official casino of the Mall of America.
It features five restaurants, gambling, (click on the post for the details.) and the full Vegas feeling with a few exceptions---but major ones.
One of the "pro bono" staff of The Evansville Observer, one of the "stringers" in the news biz so to speak, the younger brother of The Observer himself, attended a corporate function there last weekend.
His observation is that the Casino is ALCOHOL FREE----so the effect when you enter the casino is that folks are smoking up a storm.....and as the excitement of the evening goes on.....rather than reaching for another drink.....the gambler folks reach for another smoke-----the result is really, really, really smokie.
So, when we consider the benefits of allocating a portion of the Wisconsin landscape near us to gambling, the Observer hopes that we will not duplicate the "Mystic" experience here. The next thing that might happen is that someone might ban cheese...or even brats.... which would be devastating.
