Roaring engines, squealing tires, flaming wheels. Sounds like a weekend on Woodward Avenue, but it's really an evening at Motor City Casino - Detroit's most aptly named gaming establishment. Located in a former Wonderbread factory, the Motor City Casino embraces its Detroit locale, putting just enough Vegas spin on the auto theme to make it feel like you're, well, in Vegas.

Here, you can belly up to the bar in the Chromatics or Headlights lounge, test your luck at the Winning Wheels slots, or grab a bite to eat in the Classics Buffet or Pit Stop restaurants. Finer dining options are to be had as well in the radiant supper club, Iridescence.

Of course, beyond the car talk, this fun-filled casino also has the games, including hundreds of tables and over 2,400 slots. Wondering what to do with all your pennies? Try the penny slots. Beats candy any day and is better for your teeth. The Motor City Casino also offers higher-stake options.

Looking to rev up their gaming operations, the Motor City Casino opened a 17-story, 400-room hotel in November 2007.
