Dan Gilbert's Greektown Casino-Hotel is investing $50 million to $60 million in renovations to freshen up its look and provide easier traffic access, Crain's Detroit Business reports. It will also upgrade food options.
Sherri Welch of Crain's reports that the goal is to make the casino more unique and position it as a boutique hotel with a neighborhood feel. The improvements are expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
Among other planned upgrades are new gaming machines and technologies, the new I-375 ramp now under construction to provide more access to the casino, and a curb cutout to the Lafayette median to provide faster valet service.
The improvements are set to be completed by the end of 2015, when Greektown will re-evaluate whether other upgrades are needed, said Assistant General Manager Brian Hall Eby. The intent is all part of refreshing the casino's brand.
