posted 9.26.07 at HotelChatter.com:The MGM Grand Detroit will open on Oct. 2. Yup, in Detroit. An MGM Grand. Did we mention in Detroit? There's already an MGM Grand but that's closing on Sunday. The WSJ ponders why MGM Mirage chose to open an $800 million property in this "wounded city" and it turns out the city is hoping a sleek new casino-hotel will turn around the sluggish economy.
Let's hope so but aside from the General Motors workers recent contract dispute, Michigan may also have to shut down Detroit casinos on Oct. 1st because of a state budget deficit.
Nevertheless, inside the casino hotel is 335 rooms going for about $300 a night, a Wolfgang Puck restaurant (natch), two Michael Mina restaurants, 4 nightclubs/lounges, a poker room with a bar made of solid ice, retail stores and an Immerse Spa.
