XVP, worst Detroit casino parking lot

It’s a battle for which Detroit parking structure is the worst. They all have their bad points

Greektown:

What is so hard about getting a gate counter that actually works? The counters haven’t worked in at least 10 years. It’s plus or minus 50 on the number of actual spaces vs what is listed.

It’s also unclear which parts of the structure are one way and which are 2 way traffic. On some floors you will see 2 signs within 30 feet of each other. One says ‘Casino left’ and the other says 'one way and points right.

Motor City Casino:

They have been doing a lot of work so hopefully it will improve. There is always rain water on the lower floors. Pedestrians cross over the “no pedestrian traffic” signs and people drive way, way too fast. The light system ( green for open, red for occupied) works pretty well but I’ve noticed some erroneous indications lately. Maybe it is part of the construction

MGM:

I avoid the first floor at MGM. Between people who will wait a long time for a parking space, even though it backs traffic up, or people who wait for people at the entrances, even though it backs traffic up, it just takes way too long to use the first floor.

The sight lines are tough and I’m surprised there aren’t a ton of accidents.

And at every parking structure, people drive way too fast. Be careful.
