Greektown | Detroit | Trappers Alley

Try It

by Josh Sens

THERE'S A NEW GAME IN TOWN

CASH IN AS DETROIT'S NEW CASINO GIVES YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY
Take a gamble on Detroit. The Motor City’s newly opened gaming parlor, Greektown Casino, glams up the downtown entertainment district known as, well, Greektown, by taking up quarters in Trappers Alley. The historic warehouse where fur traders once exchanged pelts now trades strictly in hard currency, but maintains its connection to the city via a glass atrium, windows in some gaming rooms, and a seasonal outdoor patio. Its non-smoking slot machine room earns a triple-cherry salute. For more details, call (888) 771-4386.
