NEW MGM IN DETROIT

Does detroit city intentionally limit the size of the casinos? I think that they could find much larger edifices to have bigger ones to relieve the crowding and long lines.

I've never seen anything in Michigan law restricting size. However, the casinos have to have an agreement with the city in order to apply for a license and I would imagine that Detroit has a City Policy regarding this issue since voter approval was required to permit gaming at all.(size and location are the public's primary concern) They also require that they be located on sites in high impact commercial or industrial zones. And, since you can only put together so much developable land in a fully developed, land-locked city, property becomes dramatically more expensive as you start talking about larger parcels.
