Detroit is the only city in the United States outside of Atlantic City to have three full-scale commercial casinos operating within its city limits. All three properties opened between 1999 and 2000 following the passage of Michigan’s Proposal E in 1996, which authorized commercial casino gambling in Detroit specifically to compete with the proliferation of tribal casinos in the surrounding region and to generate tax revenue for the city and state. The result is a concentrated urban casino corridor that rivals any comparable market in the country for density and gaming volume.
Detroit’s three casinos are not clustered in a single strip — they occupy different neighborhoods within a roughly two-mile radius of downtown. MGM Grand Detroit anchors the southwestern edge of downtown, MotorCity Casino Hotel sits in the Midtown-adjacent Corktown corridor along Grand River, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown occupies the eastern edge of downtown in the historic Greektown dining and entertainment district. The geographic spread means visitors typically choose one property as a base rather than walking between them.
All three Detroit casinos offer distinct loyalty programs with no cross-property reciprocity. MGM Rewards (MGM Grand Detroit) provides the broadest nationwide network value. Hollywood Rewards (Hollywood Casino at Greektown) connects players to Penn Entertainment’s large portfolio. Pure Michigan Rewards (MotorCity Casino) is locally focused but provides robust in-property benefits. Visitors who frequent Detroit casinos regularly may benefit from signing up for all three to maximize comps across properties.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown via I-94 or I-96. Rideshare services are the most practical transport option from the airport to casino properties. The QLine streetcar runs along Woodward Avenue and passes within reasonable distance of MGM Grand Detroit. All three casinos offer self-parking and valet. MGM Grand Detroit and MotorCity both have attached parking structures. Hollywood Casino at Greektown validates parking in its adjacent garage. Detroit’s international border crossing at the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel are within a few minutes of all three properties, making Detroit a genuine cross-border casino destination for visitors from Windsor and greater southwestern Ontario.
