This is one of the best buffets in the Detroit Windsor area. The only problem is having to cut through the smoke- horrible. You are in line breathing in so much smoke and you have to sit in the back of the non smoking buffet to get away from it. Too bad MI casinos do not care about their customers or workers. WORST SMOKING of any casino. Why doesn't MI get their act together and go smoke free like all of Canada did? The pay out is great but again, I go to Windsor which doesn't really have great food or machines just to avoid the smoke.
We've got 4 casinos near downtown & we just recently got the bug to go gamble some rather than waiting to go on our yearly trips to Vegas & Tunica. We've had some luck too. The .25 VP I play is:
BP 7/5
DB 9/7
DDB 8/5
Not exactly FULL PAY but works for me playing only 2 hours usually.
The buffet's not terrible, but no comparison to Windsor's or my favorite :Orleans.
The best thing we found--went in Dec & got a CALENDAR for 07 with a COUPON PER MONTH promos. $10 free play, free buffet, etc. Best move we made..it'll keep us coming back.
Stay away from this casino if you like to play video poker. Their pay tables are terrible. It's a nice looking casino. But, I doubt I will ever go there gain.
I live in the Detroit area so I make it downtown every so often. The new MGM casino is nice with some nice restaurants, but here are my problems with it.
Triple-play video poker is almost non existant. The video poker games have pretty bad odds which seems to be a trend everywhere these days.
On a weeknight we couldnt find 2 empty seats at a blackjack table. Not sure if that was because they are so crowded or because they dont have enough tables.
There is pretty much nobody selling drinks to video poker or slot players. You have to go to the bar to get your own drink. The TVs at the bars do not get the Detroit sports cable channel so you cant watch Tigers, Pistons or Red Wings at the casino.
Sorry to sound so negative but these are all very real issues
