The Dells
I have a board meeting to attend today in the Wisconsin Dells. If you're not from Wisconsin, Chicago, or Minneapolis, you may not know the Dells. Wisconsin has two main vacation spots; Door County and the Dells. Door County is generally upscale and a sort of Midwestern Maine coast. It's penisula that separates Green Bay (yes, actually there is a bay) and Lake Michigan. And then there is the Dells. Generally considered tacky and low rent, it's a town of t-shirt and trinkets shops and all-you-can-eat buffets and waterparks.
A change began to occur about five years ago, when a hotel built an indoor waterpark. The rush was on and several hotels followed suit. But one stands out. It's the Kalahari. It's got the world's largest indoor waterpark at 125,000 square feet under one roof. The Kalahari has something like 375 rooms and they are sold out at rack rate every single weekend of the year. The place is just amazing to see even if you don't participate in the activities.
