Re: detroit
MGM and Motor city are in areas you don't want to walk outside the Casino and even the parking garage is not the safest place.
Greektown is not a real bad area. But it is Detroit... Zaph |

Re: detroit
If you park in the structure in Motor City you're OK. VAlet is OK too. Greektown's structure is safe as long as you're in the one that's not near the freeway. Avoid that structure at all costs. I have heard of many people getting mugged there. All in all it's not bad, but it always helps to be careful.
FWIW the games suck as you'll read on these boards. MGM is right near the expressway and that area really isn't as bad as, say, Motor City |

I used it all the time without a single issue. Of course, I made a point of parking as close to the stairwell as possible, and when I could I went back to my car near another person/group of person, and sometimes with my pocket knife open in my pocket. |

Re: detroit
The structure that's connected to it, or the one by the freeway? Keys held between the fingers like extra "knuckles" are also a good idea

The Greektown "named" structure is over a block away. You leave the structure, into a building, through that building, and across the street into Greektown. There may be a habitrail like walkway from one to the other, but still. That structure is still there, and aside from walking through a mostly vacant building at 3:30am, it felt safe. The structure next to the freeway (I-375) is gone. Torn down about 3 months ago or so. That's the one that was unsettling. I did the keys in the knuckles before I got a mini-leatherman for a groomsman's gift. I never had even a brush with a disturbing sitch, but that structure just screamed "muggings inside!" |
