Where Ho-Chunk's Bingo Calendar Sits on the Map

The May calendar is a moving target; the building is not

A reader looking for a May bingo calendar at Ho-Chunk is asking about a schedule that the property revises, but the venue those sessions happen in has a fixed position at 43.528836, -89.77474 in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin. This article can give you that fixed geography and the straight-line distances to other places, but it cannot give you the May session list itself. The calendar lives on a channel that updates it, and the last section tells you exactly where to look.

Straight-line distance is the only kind of distance this article publishes. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.

What the venue is, in fixed terms

The property is documented as a Native American casino and hotel located in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo. The owner is the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Publicly published reference sources put the slot count at over 2,000 machines, table games at 48, and hotel rooms at 302; figures like these are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat them as a documented point in time rather than a live count.

The coordinates place the venue north and slightly west of Milwaukee, and roughly west-northwest of Chicago. Those relative positions come from the coordinate pair itself and the straight-line figures below, not from any road network description.

Straight-line distances to reference points

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to this venue is documented. Each figure is a straight-line measurement, not a driving distance. A straight-line figure understates what a road trip involves, sometimes by a wide margin.

Why straight-line and road distance diverge

A great-circle figure is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate pairs. It ignores everything a traveler crosses: rivers, lakes, state lines, and the shape of the road network. The venue sits in south-central Wisconsin, and any route to it from a distant reference point will follow highways that bend around water and terrain rather than cut the chord the straight-line number describes.

The gap between the two measurements grows with distance and with geography. A pair separated by the Great Lakes or by a mountain corridor will show a far larger difference between the straight-line figure and the drivable route than a pair on flat, open terrain. That is why this article labels every number as great-circle and refuses to estimate a road figure: the road figure is a different measurement that requires a routing source, not a coordinate pair.

If your question starts from "me" or "here"

The venue's position is fixed. Your starting point is not, and this article cannot see it. When a reader asks how far the venue is from "me," the honest answer is that the distance depends on a coordinate this article does not have, so no single number can be correct for every reader.

What you can do is take the venue's coordinates, 43.528836, -89.77474, and measure from your own position with any mapping tool. The table above gives you a set of fixed reference cities so you can anchor the venue's location against places you already know. If your starting point is not among them, the pair you are asking about is not one this article can measure.

What to confirm before you go

The May bingo calendar is a changeable item. Session dates, start times, session formats, and any entry or buy-in structure are set by the property and revised month to month, so nothing in this article can state what May holds. The authoritative current answer lives on the venue's own published bingo page and its guest services channel; confirm the calendar there before you travel, and check whether a session requires advance registration or has a capacity limit.

Also confirm the property's current operating status and any access rules that apply on the day you plan to visit. The fixed facts here — location, owner, facility counts — do not change with the calendar, but everything about a specific bingo session does.

FAQ

Can this article tell me the May bingo calendar for Ho-Chunk?

No. The May session list is a changeable schedule that the property publishes and revises. This article can tell you where the venue is and how far it sits from other places, but the calendar itself must be confirmed on the venue's own bingo page or guest services channel before you travel.

How far is Ho-Chunk from Milwaukee?

The documented straight-line distance is 97.6 miles, measured as a great-circle figure. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. Use a routing tool with the venue's coordinates if you need a drivable figure.

Where exactly is the Ho-Chunk bingo venue located?

The venue is in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo, at coordinates 43.528836, -89.77474. It is owned by the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Publicly published reference sources document over 2,000 slot machines, 48 table games, and 302 hotel rooms.
