    It's a 10 minute walk to Ford Field, and 15 to Coamerica Park. Decent part of town.

    Yes sir. I live in Vegas but am from Detroit. It’s a nice spot down there. It’s been an anchor downtown even through the tough times. Definitely feels rough walking to it but Detroit is pretty safe overall. The criminals are preoccupied with other crimes since the PD is usually in on the take. Just don’t park in an unmarked lot and hand a $50 to a homeless guy for the parking spot like my buddy did. Car stripped and stolen! Ha!

    Great casino, hotel, restaurants and area. Fishbone’s restaurant is outstanding. Lots of ass down there on the weekend. Haven’t been there since legalized sports betting but should be solid. You also have Motor City Casino and MGM Detroit right around the corner. BetMGM will be there and not sure who is going into Motor City Casino. Greektown has had a lot of ownership changes. Penn the latest. Fun spot.

    JJ, let’s meet down there. We can go to Legend’s or the Bouzouki lounge after. I’ll pay some broad top dollar to make your balls tingle. They got broads from all different countries in those joints, cheers.

    Hit me up if in Detroit. Downtown Detroit has transformed BIG TIME in the last 10 years. Rest of the city is utter trash though

    Smoky dump the last time I was in it a few years ago. MGM much better, but worse location.

    Leave Motor City out of this.....out of your plans. LOL.....Greek Town you can't lose if you like Greek food. Try Pegasus restaurant and get yourself some stuffed grape leaves. You can't lose on that.

    After that, check this place out.....haven't been since the Wings won the cup since I've been there but live entertainment and some trim back then:

    Windsor has a little Italy. Detroit doesn't, though the casino isn't even open right now because of Covid and they only take parlays, so kind of pointless. There's a Mexican town and Greektown in Detroit.

    I still refuse to wear a mask so I haven't been back into any of these casinos until our rights are restored.

    Favorite in Mexican Town. There is Mexican Village too:

    Detroit is a great city. Fun place. Worth a visit for a game, casino trip and some great food. Has lots of history. The Motor City was the engine of the middle class for decades. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler mattered at one time.

    More likely to get killed in Chicago but people jerk that place off for whatever reason. Suburbs great in Detroit too. Go to Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, Grosse Pointe, etc... Great places. Never felt unsafe in Detroit one time and grew up there and been there since a million times. It has a ways to go but lots of investment there by Dan Gilbert, Rock Holdings, Illitch Family, etc... Detroit can be fun but like ANY city in America... don’t wander your ass into the unknown. I know where you can get jacked in Scottsdale if you get caught slipping. Hell, I found blow in Omaha, Nebraska.

    Windsor is a dump. Since 9/11 and all the casinos going into Detroit, Windsor has struggled. I would know, I used to go to Windsor a lot when I was younger. Not the same place. 9/11 wiped out the desire for people to travel over the bridge with new requirements. Just go to Niagara Falls if you want to gamble in Canada.

    Let's have a meetup. Gold, mjsuax, moneyshot and hehfest 4 of the best posters on here. I've never been to Detroit either but I've always wanted to go. Probably should wait until after the Covid shit is over though so places are actually open and not restricted. I'm just venturing a guess that places are restricted or closed there that would otherwise be packed. Isn't MI the state that has that bitchy liberal governor?
