    stay in Ann Arbor. It is lovely in the fall and there is so much to do. Although it is an open date so no fb game at the Big House on Saturday. This is a plus cuz rooms will be plentiful and not nearly as expensive as it would be with a game on.

    Thanks to all who responded about Motor City Casino.... I do not mind taking a taxi too the Joe (it is less than 3 miles), I just want to stay someplace that is in a cool area since I will be there all weekend(going to Saints/lions game Sunday). Is the area around Motor City cool? What is the best area to stay where I have access to nice restaurants and cool bars?
    Thanks to all!

    I can vouch for that! I live in Ann Arbor - a lot to do, great restaurants and bars, museums, fun college atmosphere!

    Concur with others as well, do not stay at the Motor City casino if you are looking for things to do within walking distance. The Doubletree, Crowne Plaza, Hilton Garden Inn, Greektown casino, (or the Book Cadillac if you are rich!) are much better places to stay for things to do in the near vicinity.

    Thanks for the input. I just also booked a room at Caesar's in Windsor. How is Windsor for nice bars, restaurants & partying? I am sorry to keep asking questions, but I have never been to the area... I plan on spending time and money in Detroit, but staying in Canada seems intriguing.

    Nice strip clubs. Stay in the city. The economy needs it. There is lots to do. Don't miss the Motown Museum. My opinion is to stay at the Garden Inn. Nice bar... Walking distance to everything. But don't wait, if the Tigers are in the WS you will not be able to touch a room anywhere. Take it for what' it's worth.

    Tigers won't sniff the World Series this year. We will have the spotlight to ourselves on this date.

    that would be cool, I was wondering if they do shuttles for concerts and non re wings games?

  • jonsey30jonsey30 Posts: 1,000
    I'm not sure, but the Cheli's suggestion is good too. I have only been to the Joe twice, so can't remember what is close to there

    It seems crazy that someone would stay in Windsor instead of Detroit. There are about 3 million more things to do in Detroit.

    Yeah, Windsor is dead. It was cool years ago, but most of the bars shut down when they changed the border laws. You do need a passport or enhanced license to cross the bridge or tunnel. Greektown Casino is your best bet.

    Windsor is great if you're a 19 year old American. Other than that.....

    Isn't weed legal there? And prostitution? Maybe not, but I do know you can get actual Cuban cigars there

    Hubby was there! Loved watching it on TV, as that was when I think it was called PASS sports televised all of the games!

    Love the flying leap Shanahan takes at Adam Foote - funny thing is that we sat with Adam at a wedding later that summer! Very nice out of his hockey jersey!
