This place is a dive in shiny wrapping. GenCon, the Governors conventions, along with some other shows all went with other venues (outside WI in many cases) because the convention center & Milwaukee doesn't have the facilities to properly host events.

Remember Milwaukee is currently home to prolific Hyundai & Kia theft rings too.
If you can. Don't come here wait for the touring shows to...

I'll never make that mistake again. Most of the staff isn't the friendliest but some are awesome like Jimmy and his staff were super nice. Food court rude...
