About MGM Grand Detroit
The MGM Grand Detroit opened in 1999 as a temporary casino; its permanent location opened on October 3, 2007. At 147,000 square feet of gaming space, it is the second-largest Michigan casino, trailing only the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant.
Away from the gambling floor, entertainment options include concerts at the Event Center, a Topgolf Swing Suite, and the AXIS Lounge, which is open daily until 2:00 AM. Other amenities include a pool, fitness center, spa, and shopping center.
The dining scene at MGM Grand Detroit is also quite impressive. Whether you’re looking for Asian, American, French, Italian, Mexican, or Spanish cuisine, the 12 restaurants at the venue are sure to sate your appetite.
Does MGM Grand Detroit offer sports wagering?
Yes, the MGM Grand Detroit offers MI sports wagering. You’ll be able to place your wagers at the BetMGM Sports Lounge, which is open daily from 9:00 AM to midnight.
The lounge is located on the eastern side of the casino across from the TAP Restaurant. If you use the east entrance to the venue, it will be on your immediate right when you walk in.
Wagers can be made at any of the six betting windows or 33 self-service digital kiosks. You’ll also be able to watch the games you’ve wagered on with more than 60 big-screen televisions throughout the lounge.
BetMGM Sports Lounge also has a full bar that is ready to serve local craft beers as well as signature cocktails.
Partnership between BetMGM Sportsbook and MGM Grand Detroit
As alluded to above, MGM Grand offers sports betting through BetMGM Sportsbook MI. The sports gambling operation opened in March 2020, roughly 10 months ahead of the launch of Michigan online sports betting.
By overall handle BetMGM is the third-most used sportsbook in the state, trailing DraftKings and FanDuel, but its lead over fourth-place ESPN Bet (formerly Barstool Sportsbook) is significant, with a lifetime online handle almost $2 billion higher than ESPN Bet.
This partnership helps both the casino and the online operations by driving signups as well as casino traffic to collect winnings.
