         RE:      GREAT WOLF RESORTS, INC. - AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO REGISTRATION
                  STATEMENT ON FORM S-1 FILED NOVEMBER 26, 2004 (FILE NO.
                  333-118148) (THE "REGISTRATION STATEMENT")

Dear Ms. Garnett:

         This letter sets forth the responses of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
("Citigroup") to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Staff") with regard to the above-referenced Registration
Statement. The Staff's comments were provided to Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (the
"Company") in a letter dated December 3, 2004. The Company filed Amendment No. 4
to the Registration Statement ("Amendment No. 4") on December 7, 2004.

i-Deal Online Offering Procedures and Materials

1.       Comment: Supplementally, please tell us what precise documents will be
         delivered through the i-Deal electronic delivery system. It appears
         that the prospectus and amendments will be "delivered" by being made
         available through a website that i-Deal maintains. If the final
         prospectus is made available through the system, please tell us how
         i-Deal will provide confirmation (via paper or electronically) and how
         they will assure themselves that the final prospectus precedes or
         accompanies the confirmation. Also, please describe in more detail how
         i-Deal will effect "delivery."

         Response: Citigroup's use of the i-Deal Prospectus Delivery System
         ("i-Deal") is intended as a complementary distribution method to
         deliver preliminary prospectus materials to US institutional clients
         for this offering. Citigroup intends to use this system to complement
         its process for hard copy delivery of preliminary prospectus
         information

Ms. Karen J. Garnett

         only. Citigroup does not intend to distribute the final prospectus or
         confirmations through i-Deal or by any other electronic means. The
         final prospectus and related confirmations will be delivered in hard
         copy through existing processes.

         More specifically, Citigroup currently intends on using i-Deal solely
         for the distribution to US institutional clients of (i) the Preliminary
         Prospectus, (ii) any preliminary prospectus distributed in connection
         with any required recirculation, and (iii) any supplement or sticker to
         a preliminary prospectus. Citigroup does not intend to use i-Deal for
         distribution of (i) any prospectus included in any pre-effective
         amendment that is not otherwise (1) subject to a recirculation or (2)
         distributed as a supplement/sticker to any preliminary prospectus, and
         (ii) any final prospectus or any supplement/sticker thereto. Delivery
         of documents through i-Deal is not effected by posting documents on
         i-Deal's website; delivery is effected by emailing each investor an
         hyperlink to the relevant documents.

2.       Comment: We note that the i-Deal materials provide that investors who
         consent to electronic delivery will be notified "by email (or other
         available means) of the posting of any amendment to the prospectus for
         the offering." Please revise the procedures and i-Deal materials to
         obtain a specific consent from each investor for the manner by which
         the investor will receive communications. If i-Deal wishes to
         communicate by means other than email, investors must make a clear
         choice about the means by which they will receive communications.

         Response: Citigroup advises the staff that i-Deal will not communicate
         by any electronic means other than email for purposes of announcing the
         availability of the materials outlined above. In addition, Citigroup
         may rely on traditional, non-electronic means of communication such as
         written or telephonic communications. Each email communication will
         include a new consent to electronic delivery of the specific document
         covered by that email. The consents are not intended to operate as
         global consents to all future communications and distributions. The
         text of the revised email to i-Deal participants has been revised
         accordingly and is attached as EXHIBIT A hereto (Word version and
         screenshot). As noted above, the i-Deal system is only being used as a
         complementary delivery system and paper copies of all documents have
         been and will be sent to Citigroup's clients.

3.       Comment: It appears that i-Deal intends to notify investors of
         amendments by emailing a notice that the amendments are available on
         their website. Currently, the only website page submitted to the staff
         appears to include only a hyperlink to the prospectus and technical
         information on accessing the document. Supplementally, please tell us
         whether this webpage will be used for updates or whether i-Deal will
         maintain a separate website

         with information about the offering. If i-Deal plans to use any other
         web screens, please submit those screen shots to the staff for review.

         Response: The initial email has been revised to address notifications
         of amendments and supplements that are made available on the same
         i-Deal website. i-Deal does not intend to maintain a separate website
         for amendments or supplements. The text of all emails will conform in
         all material respects to the text of the revised email (other than the
         hyperlink address and references to the specific document covered by
         the email). To monitor investors' receipt of future distributions,
         i-Deal plans on adding an additional date and time stamp link for any
         updates that will be accessible from a separate update email sent by
         i-Deal. See EXHIBIT B for screenshot.

i-Deal Email submission

4.       Comment: The i-Deal email appears to be a Rule 134(b) communication.
         Since Rule 134(b) requires that the communication state where a
         prospectus can be obtained, please revise to clearly describe how
         investors may obtain a prospectus. Currently, there is no information
         about how to obtain a prospectus other than clicking through the
         consent to electronic delivery. In the event investors do not consent
         to electronic delivery, they will need a means to obtain a copy of the
         prospectus.

         Response: The initial email has been revised to clearly describe how
         investors may obtain a prospectus. Furthermore, as noted above, paper
         copies of all documents have been and will be sent to Citigroup's
         clients.

5.       Comment: In the sixth paragraph of the email (beginning "the
         distribution of materials relating to the offering"), it appears that
         i-Deal may be attempting to shift the burden to investors to ensure
         compliance with local law. Supplementally, please tell us the purpose
         of this paragraph and why i-Deal believes this potential disclaimer is
         appropriate disclosure.

         Response: The email has been revised to delete the disclaimer regarding
         compliance with local law.
