Living room with fireplace through the double door. Waiting here..
Aifay H.

So far we've waited for little more than 4 hours to get a cleaned room. They said they would text us around 4 when it's ready. Still waiting here after a whole hour . We drove here from Ohio. It was a 31/2 drive. Got in around noon. Been sitting by the reception area since. Had a quick lunch at Tap restaurant. Food was Meh, cold, chicken wings, onion rings. The clam chowder was over heated. Don't go there. Horrible cafeteria food that they overcharge you. What is it about this place that has such a terrible service? Especially the front desk. First person didn't know anything and second one after 4 invited me to wait at the living room at least. Didn't even know there was a living room with a fireplace to sit at. The group that came after me have all gotten their rooms and left. Still waiting here..giving two stars because I'm still alive. Overheard someone who just said "what kind of sh*t show are they running? Are they gonna call you when the room is ready?" I'm still wondering..

Cute Halloween display 10-25.

MGM is definitely the most beautiful/fanciest casino out of all three Detroit casinos. MGM charges for parking when there's an event going on downtown unless you're Pearl status or higher. It's a bummer because the parking is free at the other two local casinos. The steakhouse at MGM is excellent. I had a ribeye cooked to perfection. You'll pay some $$$ but that's expected at a high end casino steakhouse. The hotel is very nice. Rooms are modern, clean, and spacious. Again, expect to pay quite a bit even on a quiet weekday ($300 and up) for just their basic room. For the most part MGM is completely smoke free except for special designated rooms. You won't smell any smoke unless you go on the designated smoking rooms. For me I just don't have any luck here. The times I've come up here I've lost my money quickly. If a casino wants to get you to come back they need to offer better perks and MGM hasn't really made the juice worth the squeeze as the saying goes. If you're looking for glitz and glamour this is your place. If you're looking to stretch your dollar and have more of an authentic Detroit experience check out Hollywood Casino in historic Greektown.

Celebrated our daughters 21st Birthday with family at the casino! We parked in the garage, FREE, then headed inside to the rewards desk where daughter signed up for a card and got $10 in free play for her bday! She even got a free spin at one of the kiosks. After playing a bit we all headed over to eat at TAP. The food and staff were amazing! We ended the night at the bar, and watched the live entertainment! Amazing night, highly recommend! There were 9 of us at the table to eat at TAP and they made us put it on one bill + 18% gratuity.

Wish I could give this 6/5 stars if I could. Exceptional, amazing property that offers free parking which many places don't. Fantastic food options, and the staff seems happy and treats you with amazing customer service. Good service in the industry is hard to find these days. Poker room is phenomenal and professional. Hotel is great too, but expensive on the weekends. I travel to make this my primary destination. Amazing job staff!

Front desk with my package from door dash and the same woman saying she's not responsible

The customer service is piss poor. I've never been to a hotel that won't ring you or hold your delivery from door dash or Uber Eats, and instead lets anyone just take your stuff or they keep it for themselves. As per my experience with my Walgreens delivery from door dash. It literally has my room number on the order when I place it. And I was spending over $100 for the second night in a row at the D Prime steak house for just myself. Didn't realize it was too much to ask for them to hold a package delivered for me until I was done with dinner on the way to my room. Won't ever stay at this hotel again, in Detroit, that's for sure. I'm an MGM member too. Disappointed and highly do not recommend. The walk is too far from the conference center - .7 miles - which yes, doesn't seem far for the body but is too far for DETROIT. And uber each way is $10-$16 and a long wait.

It is a very nice hotel with a casino. It's very clean and the shower in the room was the best shower I have ever had in my room. They have garage parking or you can do valet parking. There are a couple of different restaurants you can choose for food. The staff was very nice. Greg W, who works in the casino, is awesome. He went out of his way to find me coffee, and I appreciate that so much. They were in the middle of a remodel when we were there, but there were still plenty of games to play. I hope to be back.

Located in downtown Detroit. There's a self park garage located to the right of Casino. This MGM Grand is not as big as The Las Vegas chain, but all the perks are still available. The food court is available 24/7 and is a great one stop shop for all kinds of food. Bring your luck and A game for a night of adult fun to win some money.

MGM has always been my favorite Detroit casino. Lots of new games. Not real loose on the weekends but still fun for a day out.

Ask the Community - MGM Grand

Do casino have Bingo?

Unfortunately they dont

Do they have Keno live and/or video?

I think it’s live

Are they still on strike?

Unsure at the moment. ...just don't take MGM's word on anything if you don't live close by. - You'll be sorry you did. I might suggest looking at Detroit newspapers online to get honest information about what is currently going on there.

Is the casino open thanksgiving day?

Yes. 24/7 365 days.

Do the hotel rooms have bathtubs?

Some just have stand up showers besides the jacuzz suites.

Blackjack in person dealer rather than machine or video?

Yes. Real live dealers!

Are alcoholic drinks complimentary while gambling?

No not in Detroit casinos. Only Vegas that I know of.

Is breakfast included?

Palette opens Monday and Tuesday at 4PM. Wednesday through Saturday 11AM. Sunday 9AM. I do not believe dining to be included with lodging. Good luck, hope you need an armored truck service to haul your winnings home!

We have never been here at all and not too sure on what to wear. We're going to the Wolfgang punk restaurant. What would you recommend We wear?

Wolfgang Puck is the nicest restaurant at MGM. We "dressed up" when we went. There are casually dressed diners also. Many use their comps to pay for the meal.

What are the parking options? Is there valet, if so how much?

The options are self parking or valet. The valet is complimentary.

Gelita, the server was also very nice and attentive. She's the only one I saw walking around with a tray serving drinks. Chris, at the table with Bre was also kind. It was our first time at that casino, however, we will not be back due to the fact that most of the workers were rude plus they still allow people to smoke cigarettes. It smells terrible inside. I only gave five stars because Bre, Gelita and Chris were awesome. We filled out a customer review form and I hope this company treats them like humans should be treated. They are very valuable assets to the company. I gave 3 stars vs one due to the fact that those employees mentioned above were kind. Otherwise, it would have been a one star review.

It's easy to book the rooms and check your FreePlay through the PennPlay app. I don't spend a ton of money gambling so I'm impressed with the free rooms I've been given. The views are fantastic. On this last staycation I had a corner room on the 30th floor overlooking the entire city. You could see Comerica Park, Ford Field and Little Caesars Arena from the panoramic window. The parking structure is right off of 375 and Lafayette. Get a PennPlay players card and parking is always free. Hollywood Greektown is in the heart of everything. All the great restaurants and bars down in Greektown are just steps away. The convenient and safe parking structure take you right into the casino and I've never had to worry about my safety or my vehicle while I'm there. The casino gaming floor is set up in old Trappers Alley and they preserved the looks. Pegasus Taverna is still there and connected to the casino. The second floor allows smoking so if that's not your thing the entire first floor is smoke free. I like the bartenders at the second floor bar. They always have a smile on their face. I'm a video poker and slot player mainly and the selection of games are great. They also have all the table games too.

We arrived around 4:30pm and found a fairly long line at check-in, but the four ladies working the front desk kept things moving efficiently and got everyone checked in quickly. As part of the check-in process, we were given the option to forgo housekeeping in exchange for a $20 credit that could be used at the hotel's restaurants or bar, which we took advantage of Our room was on the 21st floor but it had only a single small window with no view. The room itself was comfortable and clean, though the decor was a bit sterile and lacking in character. The shower was excellent, with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and the convenience of the location made it a great base for exploring Detroit.

Had to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn the first night so in the morning, we thought we'd check our luggage. No need, room was ready! Beautiful room. A few observations: front desk clerk, though professional, was unfriendly/unwelcoming. The significance of this place is legendary and should have more the a few small cases of memorabilia. I would definitely recommend this place.

I was warmly welcomed by the Bellman who held the door open and directed me to the Reception desk. Check-In was seamless and I was given information on the property. There is a $100 incidental deposit. The lobby is beautiful and has a restaurant/bar. My suite was on the fourth floor. Very clean and well appointed. Plenty of space. Keurig coffee maker, refrigerator(note Fiji water is $5 per bottle) and TVs in both the living room and bedroom. Unique with glass block throughout hotel and in the suites. Hotel is quiet and you can have breakfast delivered to your room along with room service. I love the layout and design and it's a great place for a staycation!

I absolutely love this place and have been coming here every Memorial Day since about 2002 (not…read moreevery year, but just about). What is amazing about this place is the people who work there. They are truly the gems of this place. I see the same people year after year and they truly care for you while you are here. I've gotten excellent advice about where and what to eat, where to visit, and even life advice. From Cassandra who answers the phone, to group sales, to the front desk, to the thorough and patient housekeeper Jasmine, to the really kind van drivers/ concierge (Captain Tony, Cory, and Darryl), to the nice woman at the bar restaurant downstairs. Everyone does an amazing job. This place is a great value also. It's an all suites hotel so you get a lot of space. I love having the sleeping room separate from the living room so if some people in your party want to stay up and chat they can do that while I can have my peace and nap in the bedroom. The sound proofing isn't perfect but it's pretty good for a hotel room. I also love the deep soaking tub. I always arrive earlier than everyone else so I can take a bath right when I get there. There is a shuttle service that is very useful for trips within 5 miles. I've seen many people use it to get to the sports arena nearby. I tend to use it to go to nearby restaurants, dance clubs and the whole foods nearby before all the markets opened downtown. They just went through some serious remodeling and everything looks really good. The location in Greektown makes it walkable to most places. I'm most interested in walking to Hart Plaza, which is about 10 minutes walking. It's also about 10-15 minutes walking to the DAX bus stop. I've even taken the 20 minute walk to the Fox theater because I wanted to see that building. Its best to walk with someone if your going that far and keep your wits about you, but I felt completely safe (as a brown woman who grew up in NYC). I love how much Detroit is growing and changing for the more beautiful. If I had one complaint it would be the music that they play in the lobby. I wish they would play Motown (because of the city we're in), techno or Greek music (because we're in Greektown and the place is called the Atheneum). I feel like that would be more true to where we are, but that's such a small thing, and maybe just me. All in all, I LOVE staying here and will continue to stay here when ever I'm in Detroit.
