My visit to the new Motor City Casino was interesting-----first of all, the dirty floors were pretty noticeable, and stains were abundant. Sort of a seedy Fremont Street experience..Our party of four stood in line for the buffet for 30 minutes....despite numerous empty tables noticed as we entered. Our waiter, although prompt, noticed some old food on my daughter-in-law's knife and rather expertly flipped it over. She then politely asked for another, he complied gracefully. The food was pretty good as buffets go- lots of variety- very crowded, although empty food trays were not replaced too promptly. The sushi area was a nice surprise. Lots of down-home food- sweet potatoes, catfish, lots of stuff with ham in it, like salads, the fried rice ( ham??), and there was no Mexican, no Indian, no Italian. Then, we went to the gaming area----YUK !! Slot machines in banks of 2 and 3 ?? Dollar machines next to 25 centers?? The ventilation system is pitiful. Maybe it was broken, The stink of cigarettes and nasty cigars actually made us nauseated. The stale air, with the colognes and perfumes and after-shaves of hundreds of people blended with the old cig and wet cigar odors was just too overwhelming. There was no- and I mean NO AIR moving in the place !! We will NOT go back. It's too yukky. MGM is cleaner and fresher.
Pros: Buffett ok for the price $ 21.oo
Cons: STINKY ! DIRTY FLOORS! NO AIR !

When i first walked in, i was actually scared. the downstairs lobby by the valet is trashy. no bell hop to escort to the hotel check in. elevators dirty and smell of smoke. on the second floor, once i found out where to check in, it was a whole other world. BEAUTIFUL. marble and water features. nice furniture. friendly staff. helpful belhop, explained the room features without prompting. the hotel room was gorgeous. the only problem was the tv didn't work and i had my two children with me. the desk told me she would send someone right up but nobody ever showed...pretty disappointing. why have a large screen plasma tv if it doesn't work? the casino was a let down. smokey, dirty, and i tried to put money in 3 machines and they kept spitting my bill out. so i did not spend a dime. my husband said the card room was alot smaller than many casinos. he was back in the room after only 3 hours, where usually he would stay 6 hours playing poker. also, i was told to walk across the street and go to the corner to pick up a cab to get to the opera house. i didn't like that AT ALL. if you are looking for a hotel to impress you, this is it. if you are in detroit to gamble, you may want to consider the other casinos....
