In 2007 a 400-room hotel, which includes views of the Detroit River and Canada, was opened adjacent to the casino and next to a new 13-story parking garage with 2,900 parking spaces.

Over a three-year period, 2006-2009, the casino enlarged its footprint. Some of its architectural elements still remain. In 1985 developers turned the structure into a five-story indoor mall with exposed brick, called Trapper’s Alley. The building that is home to the casino was originally owned by fur trapper Traugott Schmidt who used it as a fur processing center. It opened on Novemafter a proposal to establish three casinos in Detroit was approved by voters in 1996. Just outside the casino there are several restaurants but recently they had a homicide and several shootings, so I wouldn’t venture out at night.Greektown Casino is one of three casinos in Detroit, Michigan and is located in the city’s Greektown Historic District on Monroe Street. They also charge you for drinks at the tables and bar slots which is sad. This area is where the table games were which significantly reduced my gambling time. Not sure if they turned back the clocks to the 80’s but I personally cant stand a smoking casino. The bottom floor has a smoke free slot area but the upstairs they allow smoking.

The casino isn’t within the same building, as you have to walk thru a walkway to get to it. They didn’t service the room my entire stay and I was also missing the privacy tag for my door. Bed was comfortable and shower was very nice.

I had a luxury suite but I noticed the smaller details were missing: i had no hangars in my room, no safe, but a colleague had one in his, and the tub had nice Kohler products, but the sinks had cheaper American Standard faucets. Apparently the rooms have been updated and I thought were very nice. We stayed here for three nights to attend a conference.
