This casino is in Ontario, which means smoking isn't legally permitted. That is a plus. This casino is in Ontario, which means comped alcoholic drinks aren't legally permitted. However, they then charge over $5 for a beer, the same beer which a bar down the street advertises for $2. And the service to get that $5 is lacking.

Since it is Canada, they use Canadian currency. The same machines that will cash your slot tickets will exchange US currency into Canadian currency. They also have one machine upstairs that will cash your ticket into US currency. However, while not bad, aren't the best. So if you exchange $100 US, play with the Canadian currency and come out exactly even, and then exchange it back into US money, you will be out a couple of dollars. They also exchange cash at the cage.

They use the same Total Rewards system that other CET casinos use. The slots are the same. And the tables don't seem to be okay. There is a toll to get here from Detroit in addition to another toll to get back to Detroit. Not sure if it is worth the cost.

If you don't mind paying the $4 one way toll, then Casino Windsor may
be a better choice than the Detroit 3. Better VP pay schedules, although
less machines than MGM Detroit's LARGE selection. I've eaten at the buffet,
typical choices, delicious, not super fancy. The dessert bar is large & very
good. Starting April, 2013 you can now use TR points for "free play" on
machines & tables. Big shooters can probably get their toll money reimbursed
for the bridge or tunnel crossing.

I found this place to be pretty nice. It's not fancy and they were pretty crowded when we played there but the staff was friendly and the place was clean. We didn't eat but I did play poker and their poker room was nice. Not particularly fancy but good sized, good lighting, and the dealers and other guests were quite friendly. The cashier converted U.S. dollars to Canadian when handing out chips and converted back when we cashed out which was very nice.

I'd suggest that if you're in the Detroit area, go to MGM Grand but if you need a second choice, drive over or under the river and try Windsor Casino.

This casino is one of the nicer ones in the Detroit Market. One of the unique things about this property is that it is smoke-free. The buffet is very nice and recently remodeled. The hotel has great views, an indoor pool, and a spa. It's on the total rewards system, but comps seem to have gotten super tight.

Have to admit that I've stopped going to this property for the following reasons: comps/FreePlay have seriously evaporated since this has become part of the Ceasars/Harrah's empire, tired of the long waits at border crossings (bridge and tunnel), unfavorable exchange rate (and conversion costs), fewer machines, poor lighting, crowds, noise, and lack of play for my gambling dollar (insert the phrase "vacuum wallet"). On the plus side, staff has been very friendly, the entire gaming floor is non-smoking, Buffet has great selection (although a little pricey) and beverage service was quite satisfactory. Word of advice: avoid this property if you detest crowds, especially crowded on weekends and when there's live entertainment in their new stage-a-torium. But they are bringing in bigger-name acts!! Have always enjoyed overnight stays in hotel, but serious lack of food overnight/early morning.
