What Casinos are in Downtown Detroit and are they any Good?
Last Updated: 
We know there are plenty of fantastic online casinos in Michigan, but what are your offline options? Are there any land-based casinos in Downtown Detroit you should visit if you want to riffle chips instead of clicking buttons?
The simple answer is yes! The Great Lake State is home to some fantastic commercial and tribal casinos, and many of them are in or near Downtown Detroit. Before we say whether they’re worth visiting or whether it’s best to play online, here are some of the standout venues:
- MGM Grand Detroit
- MotorCity Casino
- Greektown Casino
- Caesars Windsor (located just across the Detroit River in Windsor)
Anyone that’s 21 or older can sashay into these casinos, buy some chips, and play dozens of different casino games. In fact, if you count each individual slot as a different game, there are thousands of ways to play for cash prizes.
That’s a great reason to visit these venues. However, we all know that you can play casino games in online casinos without having to get dressed up and spend time driving (or walking). The good news is that there are many more reasons to visit Downtown Detroit’s casinos. Some of our favorite reasons are:
Sights, Sounds, and Senses
Perhaps the best reason to visit land-based casinos is the sensory experience they offer. Everything from the sound of slot machines beeping to riffling casino chips creates a unique atmosphere that people love. Add to this the fact you can interact with people, and it’s easy to see why live casinos are still popular despite the online revolution.
Casino Comps
Online operators have plenty of promos, but so do land-based casinos. MGM Grand Detroit, for example, has the famous M Life loyalty scheme, which you can also benefit from at BetMGM Michigan online casino. Head to MotorCity Casino and you’ll find regular prize draws offering everything from luxury vacations to cars. Therefore, if you want more for less, you’ll never be short of options in Detroit’s live gaming venues.
Alternative Entertainment
Land-based casinos have one thing that their online counterparts don’t: alternative entertainment. Online sites are all about games and promos. That’s great, but what if you need a break from betting? Detroit’s casinos have got you covered. For example, if you want a massage, you can go to MotorCity Casino’s D.Tour Spa.
If you’re in Greektown Casino, you can snack on something other than chips at Prism Steakhouse. If that’s not enough, try Ariius nightclub at Caesars Windsor or the shopping mall at MGM Grand. Put simply, if you want something more than gaming, Detroit’s live casinos have plenty to offer.
