Hot Springs Convention Center Bank OZK Arena — Attraction in Hot Springs

I recently attended the first-ever Chamber Bingo — which, by the way, was completely sold out! It was so much fun, and I can hardly wait for the next one.

One thing that would have made the evening even better would be signs posted to direct attendees toward the correct part of the building. Several ladies my age and older had trouble walking long distances, and it would have been so helpful to know exactly where to go after parking.

This isn’t just for bingo — clear directional signs would be beneficial for all events hosted at the HSCC. It can be pretty frustrating to park, only to realize the event is being held on the opposite end of the Convention Center. I know I wasn’t the only one hobbling along, shaking my head, and muttering to myself, “How hard could it have been to post just a few arrows to point us in the right direction?

Once we found it there was some rule about no purses (which I had mine).

If there were security concerns then a security monitoring system should have been put up and the invitation should of notified people in advance. Because of this mismanagement we missed the graduation!! The Arena should have better written policies. We will not spend our money or time in Hot Springs...
