The place is definitely seen better days and it looks like several of the shops and restaurants were not operating. Also I found it to be kind of a pain in the butt getting in and out of the building. However, that is kind of the point of all casinos.

This is a review of the TAP restaurant…read more We visited for dinner. We were promptly seated, then ignored for 10+ minutes and had to ask for our server. When our server did arrive, her service was swift. I hate it when servers do not write down orders. A wrong entree was served. The runner who delivered the meals read the tkt to us - our server had completely botched the order for Thai chicken and entered salmon. It was replaced swiftly and the salmon was comp'd and boxed for take-out. Food arrived swiftly. My ribeye was tasty and properly prepared, served warm-ish. This was NOT a steakhouse quality steak - maybe 5/8th inch thick. Maybe. The broccoli was steamed and kind'a, sort'a warm-ish. The mashed potatoes were delightful - again, warm-ish. I had to ask for a refill of my beverage. TAP is a sports bar with a sports bar vibe and sound level. Not my choice, but I was a good guest and did not fuss. When it was time to leave; I was a bit lost. 0:3 security workers were able to direct me to the parking garage's west entrance. Will I return? Only if others insist that I join them.

Belle Isle Casino is a perfect place to have a wedding!!!! My son just got married there the end of…read moreOctober 2021 and him and his wife love Detroit. They both knew that they wanted to find a venue somewhere within the city and initially they were going to have their wedding at the Madison. After two canceled dates, due to Covid, they ended up switching to Belle Isle Casino and I'm really glad they did. The place is beautiful- although it could use some cosmetic work- you have to really love that antique-urban style. It has two lovely staircases coming down from the second floor. We had 180 people, but we only used the main floor. (Second floor is beautiful) My son got married outside with the Detroit skyscrapers in the background. The weather could've been better, but it was beautiful anyways. The wedding planner set the room up, so they were 10 tables on both rooms there's a room on the left in the room on the right and a middle part where they set up the bar. Their first dance was in the middle, but then they ended up moving the tables and creating a dance floor on the right side. (Amazing day btw) Family and the out of town guests stayed at the book Cadillac and it was easy to shuttle over to Belle Isle. People from out of town loved the venue and being able to see the city. The only thing that I would warn anyone about is the bathrooms- there is one upstairs- but there's also one outside where you actually leave the building and go to -that's actually the one I used because I didn't want to keep going up and downstairs. Bathrooms are not luxurious- they are actually more like your elementary school bathrooms. Very utilitarian. You can have glam all over the place, but you're not going to get it in the bathrooms. You have to bring in all of your own tables, chairs etc. The caterer was Two Unique in Royal Oak and they were amazing. My guests told me that the filet was better than any they've had at any restaurant. This is the longest review I think I've ever written but I would've really liked to have been able to read one of these before my son's wedding. I was very nervous about having it there and it turned out to be a beautiful, perfect venue!

My husband and I got married on Belle Isle in September of 2007. We had the ceremony at the Scott…read moreFountain and the reception in the Belle Isle Casino. We rented out the first floor of the Casino only (it costs a little more to rent out both floors, but since the restrooms are upstairs, you end up going up there anyways). They supply the tables and chairs only, but you will need to rent table linens and chair covers, because they are not really nice-looking tables or chairs (but when they are covered, they are completely fine). You are allowed to enter the casino either 2 or 3 hours prior to your actual start time---can't remember exactly how long. We had to bring everything in----dishes, glasses, food, drink, etc. The catering company we used (2 Unique catering in Royal Oak) took care of all of that for us, though. They also took care of the table and chair linens. Because you can bring in your own alcohol, it is easy to save money on that, but you have to really consider how much people might be drinking because you don't want to run out or end up with bottles and bottle left over! They have two nice bar sets ups on the first floor, but you also need to hire your own bar tenders, or have the catering company you use do that for you. I don't recall the exact square footage of the casino offhand, but I know we were able to seat 180 people down there fairly comfortably, but had to move tables after dinner for the dance floor. We didn't do anything at all with lighting; the interior is really beautiful and the natural lighting combined with the lighting they have already was more than enough. Only downside was trying to get answers or assistance from the people working at Belle Isle. It was the only difficult part of the whole wedding, but I know they are very busy with a limited staff to handle all requests, so it wasn't that big of an issue. I had to be extremely persistent (maybe even annoying!! :) to get any answers from them. All in all, it was an absolutely beautiful location for a wedding, and we got (and still get) a ton of compliments. It was safe, affordable, beautiful, and unique, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind taking on a venue that requires a little more planning and work to use than a venue that has everything on-site (food, beverages, linens, etc.)

Confession: I really love Bingo…read more Now, maybe that makes you think I'm a bit of an old lady but you just don't understand! It's a serious rush! Hearing those numbers called, putting your dauber to the paper, feeling the adrenaline course through your veins as you find yourself 5 away from filling your card. 4....3...2... "BINGO" someone yells from the other side of the room. "WHAT THE F@*#?" You whisper scream while staring angrily at your card then angrily at the elderly woman holding up her hand in excitement. It can get intense. And more likely than not, you're going to lose. But it can be profitable. Seriously, I had 2 friends each win a grand. So that's what keeps me coming back for more. Even if I've only ever gotten one Bingo for $25. It's the promise of a cool 1K that gets me all excited. Paradise Bingo takes care of me when I'm here. It's a clean facility with super nice cashiers who take the time to explain to newbies what you need and when each card you buy is going to be called. I had two buddies who were new to the game join us last night and when they asked me what they needed to buy I just said "have them tell you," because the gals behind the counter can do a much better job that I ever will. The concession stand has some snacks and pop should you need a refreshment. The sessions go well into the night which means you're going to need fuel so go ahead and buy that bag of M&Ms, that package of Reeses Cups. You deserve it. They also sell daubers at the counter if you're not lucky enough to have a friend with a bingo bag full of roughly 10 of them to share like I am. The staff will walk around selling additional cards should you decide last minute that you wish to try your luck just a little more. They take both American and Canadian monies here and if you buy with American you win American back. Sameies with the Canadian. They also have electronic machines so you can play that way. I've never tried it because I like the traditional style but if you're tech savvy and curious you can get your touch screen on. I didn't win anything last night. Nor did anyone in my party. But that won't stop me. No. I shall not be deterred. I will get you some day, Roving L. I will make you happen sometime, full card. Yes. It will happen.

It's easy to book the rooms and check your FreePlay through the PennPlay app. I don't spend a ton of money gambling so I'm impressed with the free rooms I've been given. The views are fantastic. On this last staycation I had a corner room on the 30th floor overlooking the entire city. You could see Comerica Park, Ford Field and Little Caesars Arena from the panoramic window. The parking structure is right off of 375 and Lafayette. Get a PennPlay players card and parking is always free. Hollywood Greektown is in the heart of everything. All the great restaurants and bars down in Greektown are just steps away. The convenient and safe parking structure take you right into the casino and I've never had to worry about my safety or my vehicle while I'm there. The casino gaming floor is set up in old Trappers Alley and they preserved the looks. Pegasus Taverna is still there and connected to the casino. The second floor allows smoking so if that's not your thing the entire first floor is smoke free. I like the bartenders at the second floor bar. They always have a smile on their face. I'm a video poker and slot player mainly and the selection of games are great. They also have all the table games too.

Gelita, the server was also very nice and attentive. She's the only one I saw walking around with a tray serving drinks. Chris, at the table with Bre was also kind. It was our first time at that casino, however, we will not be back due to the fact that most of the workers were rude plus they still allow people to smoke cigarettes. It smells terrible inside. I only gave five stars because Bre, Gelita and Chris were awesome. We filled out a customer review form and I hope this company treats them like humans should be treated. They are very valuable assets to the company. I gave 3 stars vs one due to the fact that those employees mentioned above were kind. Otherwise, it would have been a one star review.

Nearly every person I chatted with, also said some to the effect of "I hope I can find my car." Yeahhhh. It's that bad. Food court is ok, but again difficult to access. Would recommend Revel Steakhouse if you have some time and want some good food. Reward desk also told me as a new player, I had to sign up at a kiosk - which would have been nice to know beforeee I waited in line. Staff was generally friendly and I was happy with being able to call for beverage service from a slot machine.
