I like that Detroit has casinos. Well I like them now since I won $30 the other day. And, I got to admit I was against the idea in the beginning.
See I'm not a big gambler, I don't like losing especially my hard earn nickles.

I was in Greektown the other day and it was crowded with people going to the Tigers game. It looked like they were enjoying themselves, some winning and some losing, some eating at the restaurants and some just sitting around the bar listening to the live band.

Now, its not just that I won $30 after playing only $75 cents, I came to this conclusion because the casinos give people something to do in the city, plus they offer some entertainment with the live bands, restaurant options, and hotel beds. Motorcity's Sound Stage theater is huge, I have attended several concerts there and the performers are right up close. MGM is just plain a beautiful building and they got plenty of convention space and Greektown being so convenient and in the heart of downtown.

True the casinos have a down side with how some people can't control their gambling and lose too much. And, that ain't good at all. Also, casinos are known to create legal activiites but I can't say that I've heard of any increase in crime, etc. I think that the Atlantic City casinos had some problems but not here. [[To the best of my knowledge)

I'm not trying to convince anybody to become a gambler but in The Great Detroit casinos are a winner.
