Need a Summer Vacation Destination? Think Detroit!
Downtown is very much improved.
We've got three casinos (two of the permanent ones are finished now, with several hundred new hotel rooms and suites), two new stadiums (stadia?), the RenCen, Greektown and a new River Walk linking Chene Park to Hart Plaza and Joe Louis Arena/Cobo Center.
Between now and Labor Day Detroit will host races on land (Belle Isle Grand Prix), on the water (Gold Cup Hydroplane races) and in the air (Red Bull Air Races). There's the Electronic Music festival over Memorial Day weekend, the Jazz Festival during Labor Day, and the annual Macy's (formerly Marshall Field's, formerly Hudson's) Detroit-Windsor fireworks show in late June over the river.
There's definitely things to do in Detroit if one is inclined to visit.
