A friend and my wife are going to the Winter Classic in Detroit over New Years. I'm wondering if anyone has some comps or offers they would be willing to part with for the Detroit area casinos. PM me if you're feeling generous.

Damnit! 12 minutes?! I thought that'd last at least a few hours.
Can't ever have fun anymore XD

I find it hard to believe that Face couldn't find ways to have fun anymore....
For the record, I am also jealous of people having tickets to the Winter Classic.

Unfortunately I am not willing to trade winter classic tickets for hotel rooms, as that would defeat the purpose of going.

Just spent 2 nights at Caesars Windsor. I played the "I-pad" Blackjack, since I thought it was the best game for my bankroll house advantage-wise. Also played the best (but not very good) 9/6 JoB I could find. We had 2 nights for free thanks to the Mrs' account, so part of my goal was to try to get that kindof perk for me to double-dip. The room was very nice, the buffet just so-so. I did like the fact that Valet parking is free when you stay there. It would be nice if the TV had ESPN, but it doesn't.

The buffet there has gone way done hill over the past 4 or 5 years.
ESPN ends about halfway across the river.... TSN rules the Canadian side

Yeah, I'll second that. Is there a rule in Canada that there shouldn't actually be any fish in the Sushi ? Now on the other hand, I had the Motor City buffet today and it is excellent, but a little pricey.

Does anyone have comments about parking at one of the Detroit casinos and walking to and from Comerica park at night? It's free, and under a mile no matter which casino I pick, but I'm looking for insight as to which walk(s) are safer and/or routes to avoid.

I used to park at Greek Town and take the people mover... just walk the last block and a half

Quote: IbeatyouracesEven if you don't use the people mover, it's a 5 minute walk. Greektown will charge $10 sometimes but reimburse it in free play. MGM is total free parking and about a 10 minute walk down Adams St.
I walk between all three casinos day and night and have never had a problem.
I have personally known four people who have been shot in my lifetime
Being from Windsor Ont CANADA thats a crazy number of people.... fact is three of those were shot in Detroit while being robbed
one of them was an off duty Windsor Police office parked in the parking lot of Murrays Auto Parts in Mexican Town..he was very lucky to survive as Detroit Police officers didnt wait for an ambulance and rushed him in their patrol car to the nearest hospital
Walking out of a casino into the middle of downtown isnt my idea of a SAFE BET
Oh if you are wondering about the fourth person.... guy I grew up with was shot and killed by police in a small town outside Windsor during a call for a domestic dispute

I have known several people who have been shot. All hunting accidents, 2 fatal, except my ex-husband, who had 3 Purple Hearts and 2 bullet holes from Vietnam (the third was for an accident on duty, not live fire). Another type of hunting, I guess.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I've seen Greektown charging $40 for parking on gamedays.
I'd just park at MGM and walk.

seems to me he is asking if walking around downtown Detroit at night is a safe bet.... my opinion as a person that lived across the river for over 40 years and spent a lot of time in that city going to hockey games baseball, games car shows ect.... is I wouldnt chance it
the link to the 2012 murder rate highlights why

And if you are going to be in Detroit at the turn of MIDNIGHT New Years EVE stay indoors away from windows. The amount of gunfire around midnight is insane... I used to work directly across the river at the Hiram Walkers Distillery and the sound of gunfire at midnight was like a war zone
