When gambling arrived in Detroit in the late 1990s, the expectations were that eventually, the three would be positioned together to create a Casino District to attract out-of-towners to southeast Michigan.

Big-name, live entertainment was to be common. New hotel and convention space would be added to the regional offerings. Most important, the district would spawn more bars, clubs, restaurants and retail outlets to help revive a Detroit that had been neglected for decades.

Nearly a decade later, much of that promise has gone unrealized. In particular, squabbling over parcels of land and an inability to resolve related issues has seen the Casino District on the riverfront become an idea of the past. Instead, all three casinos - Greektown Casino, MGM Detroit and MotorCity Casino and Hotel - have gone their separate ways.
