Detroit's Casino District Offers More Than Gaming for a Weekend Getaway

Detroit's three downtown casinos have become much more than places to try your luck. Today, they're part of a broader entertainment district where visitors can enjoy fine dining, concerts, nightlife, sporting events and luxury hotel stays—all within minutes of one another.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or simply looking for an evening out, Detroit's casinos offer convenient access to many of the city's most popular attractions.

The city's three commercial casinos include MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino Hotel and Hollywood Casino at Greektown, each offering a unique atmosphere while providing gaming, restaurants and entertainment.

MGM Grand Detroit

Located just west of downtown, MGM Grand Detroit combines a Las Vegas-style casino with luxury hotel accommodations, upscale dining and a full-service spa.

Its location also makes it convenient for visitors attending games at Comerica Park, Ford Field or Little Caesars Arena before returning for dinner or an evening on the casino floor.

Hollywood Casino at Greektown

Hollywood Casino at Greektown places visitors in the heart of one of Detroit's most recognizable entertainment districts.

After spending time at the casino, guests can easily walk to restaurants, bars and entertainment throughout Greektown. The nearby Detroit Riverwalk, Campus Martius Park and several downtown attractions are also just a short distance away.

MotorCity Casino Hotel

MotorCity Casino Hotel offers gaming, restaurants, live entertainment and hotel accommodations just outside downtown Detroit.

Its location provides easy access to major freeways while remaining close to many of the city's museums, theaters and sporting venues, making it a popular stop for visitors spending a weekend in Detroit.

Planning for a Comfortable Visit

Detroit casinos are large properties. Between the gaming floors, hotel lobbies, restaurants, parking garages and nearby attractions, visitors can easily spend several hours on their feet.

For guests who have difficulty walking long distances, planning ahead can make the visit much more enjoyable.

Buckfort Medical Equipment offers wheelchair and mobility scooter rentals with free delivery and pickup throughout Southeast Michigan. Having a mobility scooter available can make it easier to enjoy the gaming floor, restaurants and nearby attractions without worrying about fatigue or navigating long indoor walkways.

Visitors planning to explore downtown beyond the casino—including the Riverwalk, Greektown or sporting venues—may also find mobility equipment helpful for a full day in the city.

More Than a Night at the Casino

Detroit's casino district has evolved into one of Michigan's premier entertainment destinations.

Whether you're enjoying a steak dinner, seeing a concert, spending an evening at the gaming tables or simply taking in the energy of downtown Detroit, the city's casinos offer much more than gaming. Combined with nearby attractions, they make for an easy weekend getaway from anywhere in Mid-Michigan.

Go Mid Michigan Tip

A visit to one of Detroit's casinos often includes more walking than many people expect. Large gaming floors, hotels, restaurants and nearby attractions can add up to several miles over the course of a day. If you need extra mobility, Buckfort Medical Equipment offers wheelchair and mobility scooter rentals with free delivery and pickup, helping visitors enjoy more of downtown Detroit at their own pace.
