WE'RE HERE TO HELP

GRAND CASINO MILLE LACS

When you decide to host an event at Grand Casino, your initial contact will be with a Business Account Executive. He or she will help make all your meeting and hotel room reservations, coordinate special needs, plan recreational activities, settle terms and conditions, and make payment arrangements. If you have any issues with scheduling your event, need to cancel, or have hotel room issues, your Business Account Executive will be the point of contact.

A Banquet Coordinator will be assigned to your event to help with all on-site details, including meeting times, room setup, audio-visual needs, and food and beverage requests. He or she will contact you approximately thirty days prior to your arrival date to review and finalize plans for your event. The more information you provide us, the better we will be able to prepare and plan the service aspects of your event.

Function Rooms

Based on the number of attendees and the nature of the event, your Business Account Executive will reserve a room for you. Grand Casino reserves the right to adjust room size to fit group size.

Room Rental Rates

Room rent may apply based on event needs.

• One-time standard setup of theater, classroom, u-shape, conference, or banquet with table linen

Floor Plans and Seating

A Banquet Coordinator will help you choose a facility based on the number of guaranteed attendees and the nature of your event.

Continental breakfast, buffet, or dinner — we have a variety of menu options that suit any event. If you can’t find it on the menu, our chef will customize a menu to meet your group’s specific needs.

Need menu suggestions? Call us we're glad to help.

Linen

We offer white as the standard color for table linens with a variety of color cloth napkins for meal functions. Ask your Banquet Coordinator for available options. Other colors and inventory may be obtained at an additional charge.

Decorations

For banquet meal functions, tables are set with simple votive candles. If you prefer to order flowers, your Banquet Coordinator will work with local florists to create arrangements for your event. All other decorating is your choice. Please advise our Banquet Coordinator of your plans.

Your Banquet Coordinator can help with any banners and signs that you would like hung.

Audio/Visual Equipment

Grand Casino can help coordinate all equipment, staging, lighting, and electronic presentation needs. Talk to your Banquet Coordinator at least one week before your event to finalize your needs.

Smoking Policy

The meeting rooms and foyer in the Convention Center are non-smoking. The pre-convene area is designated for smoking, and a portion of it can be designated non-smoking for a conference that has booked all of the ballroom space. This request should be done through the Banquet Coordinator or Convention Sales Associate.

Wireless Internet is available in the Convention Center.
