Of the three this is the nicest, and most upscale casino in the D. Lots of restruants, and bars for those not gambling. The slots and table games are great.

Lots of fun if you like to gamble or simply people watch. Spent a couple of hours there and found the slots were best for me. I am not a gambler but found it entertaining. The casino was clean and they have a smoke free area which is nice.

A group of us decided to spend an hour at this casino while visiting a sick friend in Detroit. We went on a Saturday evening, about 10:00 PM. and the place was super crowded. We drove around for about a half an hour before finding a parking place rather close to the entrance. We were shocked at the enormous size... More

Cool place to go and have some fun, restaurants are nice along with the rooms but no Vegas deals on the rooms! Ouch! Something to do to spice up Michigan living.

Stopped in here while on a trip to Detroit and was quite impressed. The casino appears to be as large as anything in Vegas and is outfitted just as nicely as one you would find on the strip. I was there at 9:00 am on a saturday and it was already hopping. They were serving breakfast at the time so... More

This hotel is very nice. If you just look at the hotel - - it is fab. Gorgeous rooms - -spacious and beautiful. I love the way there is a separate entrance and you can't see the casino anywhere. There is an elegant living room with a stunning fireplace wall that separates the hotel tower from the lobby and casino.... More

I understand that this is a casino and smoking is allowed BUT when you see a smoglike haze hanging over the interior you can only conclude that there is a ventilation problem. On a recent trip it smelled like the interior of a barbecue grill. When the ventilation was activated very cold air came down from the ceiling evoking comments... More

The only reason I gave this casino a 2 star is because the customer service is excellent. We got lost a couple times and for example, I asked the waitress where the bathrooms were and she walked me to them even though she could have just pointed. That was kind. It also happened again when we were looking for the... More

The MGM has plenty of gaming, entertainment, and food selection for anyone. In the few trips there I have had good food whether in the buffet or sit down restaurant (even though prices are a little steep like any casino), the games are entertaining with plenty of tables and slots available, and the clubs always have top notch talents to...
