MotorCity Casino Hotel opens its doors

The MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit opened its doors for the first time on Wednesday.

Aimed at the richer end of the casino market, the 17-storey, 400-room hotel promises high-end luxury for its visitors.

Marian Ilitch, the owner of the casino hotel, said: "We are excited to open the property and treat our guests to a level of hospitality they deserve in Detroit."

The hotel added that it believes "comfort is king".

Along with building the hotel, the casino's gaming space was extended to include a conference centre, a 1,200-seat theatre and a spa.

It also offers new dining facilities and shops.

Guests at the hotel have the option of getting married there, a system being used by the hotel's first ever guests Edwin Davis and Annette Kjelstad.

MotorCity is one of Detroit's three casinos and last year had a revenue of over $400 million, according to Forbes.
