The author was truly an “insider,” with more than 14 years of experience working with Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and the adjacent Little Six Casino, in Prior Lake, Minn., as a trusted advisor, team member, and friend. With this story, we had the unique opportunity to involve the reader in the project - not just as an observer, but also as a participant. It’s an effective way to tell a story and one used on many occasions. The story is told as a description of events based on interviews with the various participants. Editor’s Note: When writing an installation profile, the author’s best hope is to give the reader the impression he or she is a passive participant in the project.
