Motor On Down The Road!
I am sorry to say that this is about the most boring casino I have ever experienced. To me, this place is about the same as Greektown Casino in Detroit and that isn't saying much. I found it too noisy, smoky, and the employees were most unfriendly and rude. I played in the poker room which was typical Detroit casino...very smoky and filled with degenerate gamblers and kids. I left after about two hours, I couldn't take it anymore. Go to MGM Grand in Detroit. It's 10 times better.
Continuous Night-club atmosphere
Great selection of slots spread over two huge floors: lots of newer games being installed while maintaining good selection of favorites/older themes. VERY noisy gaming floors: slot volume high, bells, table games loud and loud rock music at all hours - even overnight/early morning! Ear plugs should be sold here! I have had frequent profitable nights and extended periods of play on slots: bankroll seems to last longer. Self-serve drink stations are maintained frequently, however beverage service on the game floor is scarce. As are slot attendants. Casino cage personnel need serious training in courtesy and friendliness - and a smile would certainly be welcome! Players Club rewards are mediocre, but there are frequent special promotions to bring in the crowds. As with all Detroit casinos, be prepared for lots of smoke: poor air circulation in this building. Parking garage is HUGE and often full: be prepared to walk a great distance to the casino entrance (but free valet service is available - remember to tip the courteous, friendly valets!) This property always seems to be hopping. Buffet is pricey, but IMHO worth the cost: nice selection, usually tasty and well-prepared. I wish there was food/snack bar overnight! Have not stayed at the hotel yet. Need to be a lot more generous with FreePlay and comps for Club members. Big poker room. Table games often crowded.
From Cleveland
I come to Detroit about twice a month and it is by far about the best. I play only the slots so I can't say anything about the table games. They have a lot of penny slots which I play most of the time. I can't say I win but I come out even more than any casino in Detroit. At least they let me play
Worst casino in Detroit
Motor City is by far the worst casino in Detroit. It's in a pretty bad area with a pretty stupid set up for a parking garage. The casino feels pretty cramped and not very open. Players Card is not very good. Food pricing is very high. Not a very big selection of penny slots. A lot of two cent and nickel machines, but they are all tight like the rest of the Detroit casinos. Greektown and MGM both look and feel nicer. Employees here aren't very nice either like the rest of the Detroit casinos. It's not far from 75, but it's the furthest away from 75 when compared to MGM and Greektown which are both literally right off the exit ramp.
dont park at motor city
I stayed at Motor City's casino hotel Wednesday the 21st and parked in the parking lot. About 9:00pm I came back to grab something then about 1:30 to find a security guard near a chevy suburban that i parked next to and I asked the guard what was going on. I said that i parked my truck here and it was gone. He told me to go look around and see if i could find it. I saw Moreseen oil rags on the ground that were in my truck so i told him that and he said to give him about 15 min. So after 25min he took me up to the security office to fill out a report. Then they told me parking here was like parking at cvs"s parking lot so after an hour goes by i asked them if they called the police to make a report. They told me that wasn't their job.
I figured that out when they found the truck next to mine was broken into that they would of looked on their high tech cameras and seen they went from his truck to stealing my truck and when i told them that they never anseered. When i wrote to them Thank you for contacting Motor City Casino Hotel! Our parking structure is very secure and is monitored 24 hours a day by our Security department. IF you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call us directly and when i did they told me nothing again
mc poor
Rotten parking, small cramped gaming areas, very smokey, pricey buffet. We have gone there since it opened and they are not listening to their customers about the crowed, cramped gaming. The new areas are just terrible if you are in a wheelchair. The buffet is much worse now since they moved from the basement location. The senior breakfasts are gone, the sushi is totally poor unless you like a pound of rice with each piece. The food selection and quality is about the same as greek town but cost three times as much. MGM grand has the best buffet but is also costly. Hotel seems nice and their small restaurants are better than most. Machines are tighter than MGM or Greek Town from what I see in the payoff lights. Of course in Detroit you aren't going to find many 5 dollar tables and all are smokey. good luck
Motor City continues to improve itself
Motor City Casino has come a long way since opening in late 1999 in the refurbished Wagner Baking Company building (former home of the Wonder Bread bakery). The property has undergone a major expansion to its gaming area (opened June 2007), a complete remodel of the existing areas (completed late 2008) and the opening of their hotel (November 2007).
They have also added an entertainment venue (Sound Board) and completely reworked their food offerings, including a new buffet area (Assembly Line), a new casual dining restaurant (Flames), and moving their 4-diamond restaurant, Iridescence, to the top of the hotel tower.
I had eaten at the old Iridescence location, the food was wonderful, but the restaurant space iteself was somewhat lacking in ambiance. The new location, with its glass wall facing south, offers wonderful views of the Detroit skyline, the Detroit River, Ambassador Bridge, and Windsor, Canada; and the food is still great!
The hotel is top notch, with many hi-tech features in each room (wireless handset phones that work throuhout the property, radios with iPod docks, and an electronic maid service/do not disturb light, to name a few).
The gaming area spreads over two floors, and has a "funky" automotive theme. All the usual table games and slots are offered, and there is a very nice poker room on the first floor. Being primarily a video poker player myself, there is not an abundance of machines with good pay tables, but there are a few if you take the time to look around.
In all, Motor City has done a very good job of improving their offerings to keep competitive with the other casino properties in the Detroit area.
