Ever since Detroit voters approved the allowance of casinos in 1996, the door was opened to three major casinos establishing themselves in the city. They were built a few years later and they have become landmarks and tourist destinations in their own right. Originally slated to be located along the riverfront, the MGM Grand Casino http://detroit.mgmgrand.com will be staying in its current location near M-10 "The Lodge" highway, off of Bagley. The Greektown Casino http://www.greektowncasino.com/ has become an anchor to the Greektown area, offering gambling and entertainment near some nice restaurants. The Motor City Casino http://www.motorcitycasino.com/ (which has some nice advertising), but it's away from other entertainment venues. It's located at the junction of Grand River and "The Lodge".
To be honest, I've only been to the Greektown Casino which is quite nice for this not being Las Vegas, but I'll have to visit the other two casinos and give a comparative review later.
