If you decide to go there, then PM me and I can list a bunch of places you should check out. Like restaurants, and a classic bar that is Irish. I'm sure moneyshot knows where I'm talking about.
There is an above ground tram that goes around a portion of the city called the "People Mover". I have to tell you, I have no idea if that thing still runs or not. I really never pay attention. You have 3 major casinos, Greek Town (best food around too at restaurants nearby the casino), MGM Grand, and then Motor City is a little bit away from downtown.
For your safety, don't go to Motor City unless you're with someone or be very "aware" of your surroundings. That's where I hear of people getting jumped. However, its usually in the parking garage.
If you stick to the downtown you will be fine. Venture away inside Detroit, maybe not.
If you bring a Vietnamese woman that is a 8-10 over here for me to meet and greet, then I will potentially be your tour guide. LMFAO.
Moneyshot (check in Moneyshot) can add some things here too he might even know it better than I since I'm normally to the casino and home. Sometimes eat in Greek town, but I don't move around much of Detroit these days.
