MGM Grand Detroit Casino: MGM Detroit Ups and Downs

[Casino Reviews]

We stopped here on the way back from Caesars across the river in Canada. The casino seems to sprawl. The table games seemed to have high minimums for a Thursday afternoon. The tier points in MGM's M Life didn't rack up nearly as fast as they do in Las Vegas. And the food seemed very expensive for a casino. And getting from the casino to the freeway was a nightmare (which I understand isn't the casino's fault).The slots payed well and I did win here (Hurray!). I tried to find a souvenir since I had never been here or even in Michigan before. They have a small little souvenir shop which they all but hide. The employees that I did come in contact all were very courteous and professional. But I think if I was even in the area, I would head back across the river.

YOU SAY: getting from the casino to the freeway was a nightmare

I beg to differ, since I'm local. Maybe you don't have a GPS nor had Mapquested directions.
If you go right, up 2 blocks & right again, you're on the Lodge Freeway (north).
South would be up another 2 blocks.

If you made a LEFT out of the garage, you'd go one block, turn right & go 5 blocks, you'd enter I-75 north in the left lane.

If you wanted I-75 south, left out of garage one block, right turn one block/left turn onto Grand River (leads to Motor City Casino), one block, hang another left on the service drive, go 1 block & catch I-75 southbound. Or, in other words, one left out the garage & "circle" counter-clockwise.
