The downtown is quite pleasant with some nice architecture and museums, but just outside of downtown you will run into some very decrepit, abandoned areas. At one time it was the fourth-largest city in the nation. Detroit is nobody's idea of a vacation destination, but it is a top-ten metropolitan area and has all the big city amenities you'd expect. MGM Grand Detroit, Greektown Casino Hotel, and Motor City Hotel and Casino are the Detroit properties. Three are on the American side, and one is on the Canadian side. All are within three miles of each other on both sides of the Detroit/Windsor international border. History: There are four full-service casinos in the Detroit area. If you have any comments, suggestions, or additions, feel free to add them below. NB: This entry is as complete as I can make it.
