Journal

Short essays that didn't fit on the practical pages. Each one is sourced like the rest of the site.

Illustration, not a photograph of the hotel

I keep this section for the threads that run under a stay: history, timing, the odd detail that a venue's own website won't mention. New entries arrive when there's something worth saying, not on a schedule.

How I write these

Every journal entry starts from a document — a venue page, a museum's own notes, a Wikipedia article I've checked against its citations. Where I add an opinion, it's marked as mine. Where a source is secondary, the sentence says so. That's slower than writing from memory, and it's the only way I know to avoid repeating something that stopped being true two years ago.

Where these facts come from

  1. Wikipedia — Club Regent Casino (secondary)
  2. Wikipedia — Transcona (secondary)
  3. Wikipedia — The Forks, Winnipeg (secondary)
  4. Club Regent Event Centre — show listings
  5. Wikipedia — Winnipeg, climate section citing Environment and Climate Change Canada (secondary)

Checked by the editor on 31 October 2026. Hours, show dates and policies change; the venue's own page wins over ours.

Planning a night on Regent Avenue?

Tell the desk your dates and it will come back with what the hotel has open and what it costs that week — by email, usually within a business day. You decide after that; there is no deposit and no card number on this site.

When a request turns into a stay, the hotel or the booking partner pays us a commission; your rate is the same. Our business model · full request page

Ask for a room at Club Regent

Our booking desk checks availability with the hotel or a booking partner and answers by email. This is a request, not a reservation.

No card is asked for and nothing is reserved yet. If the stay goes ahead, the hotel or a booking partner pays this site a commission — you pay the hotel's own rate. How that works.

Thank you — your request reached the desk. Expect an email reply (usually within a business day) with what the hotel has for your dates and the current rate. Nothing is booked until you confirm.
