MotorCity Casino Hotel is a Detroit luxury hotel, conference, banquet hall and hotel meeting concept built from the ground up. It adjoins MotorCity Casino, the most electrifying gaming experience in Michigan. Guidelines To Reopen Detroit Casinos Released DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Due to the Coronavirus, there has been a ban on gambling as policymakers try to establish post COVID-19 guidelines to keep the public safe. Currently, Motor City Casino-Hotel and Greektown Casino-Hotel are all preparing to reopen by that date with new safety precautions in place, while MGM Grand Detroit will open Friday, August 7.

Fifty-percent of MotorCity Casino employees has been called back to work five months after the pandemic forced Detroit's three casinos to shut down.

'We miss our customers and want them all to come back right away,' said MotorCity's President Bruce Dall.

The general public is welcome to visit MotorCity when they reopen Wednesday at 10 a.m. The reopening of MGM Detroit the same day is invitation only. The public will be allowed to enter Friday at 10 a.m.

Things will look different

At MotorCity Monday, returning employees were being tested for COVID-19. They must test negative to be cleared to return to work and every day, employees and guests will be temperature checked before they're allowed to enter the casino.

Only two restaurants will be opening Wednesday: Grand River Deli & Burgers and Little Caesars. Tables in the dining area have been separated by 10 feet and, for now, eating is only allowed in specified dining areas.

Guests won't have to look far for hand sanitizer as 200 hand sanitizing stations have been set throughout the casino.

Chairs have been removed at gaming tables to keep a distance between guests who will also notice plexiglass barriers between many of the dealers and in between players.

Dall says they are still waiting on an order of plexiglass and until it arrives, some dealers will be wearing face shields in addition to their masks.

Everyone is required to wear a mask, except when eating or drinking and they must be seated to drink. But before guests even enter the casino, they'll be temperature checked in the parking garage.

And, until restrictions under the governor's orders ease, casinos have to keep their customer capacity to 15% which, at MotorCity Casino, is about 1,600 guests.

It's a 160,000-square-foot casino so, according to Dall, every customer will have an average of 100-square-feet to themselves.
