Detroit Vacation - Top 20 Things to Do in "The D"

If you’re not from the area you’re probably laughing at the fact that I would even suggest a vacation to Detroit. But Detroit has a bad rap that is far from being true. Yes, there ARE bad areas in “The D”, but I can’t name a single city that doesn’t have a bad area these days. Actually, the truth is that there’s a very rich history in Detroit many people are not aware of and there’s TONS of things to do here for people of any age. Detroit is packed full of amazing art, historic churches, lots of casinos and more.

1. Detroit Institute of Arts

2. Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History

3. Detroit Historical Museum

4. MGM Grand Detroit Casino

5. Greektown

18. Gospel Music Hall of Fame & Museum

19. Motown Historical Museum

20. Hit a hott Club. I like St. Andrews Hall - It's the only place in the world that it's OKAY to drink a beer in Church!

What’s really neat about staying in Detroit (home of today’s music icons, like Eminem and Kid Rock), is that you don’t have to spend a thousand dollars to get a nice hotel. In fact, you can find superior deals within the city as well as with the outskirts of Detroit and even better deals if you go to Canada for the evening – EXCHANGE RATE!!! As a fan of Canadian Gambling, us Detroiters like to head across the border so we can play twice as much for our dollar. The Canadian exchange rate changes constantly every day but it averages to be about 50 extra cents to every American dollar. So that means that for $1 you get $1.50. Pretty sweet, huh? This works out awesome when it comes to gambling as well as shopping and hotel stays. One place that is cool for booking hotel rooms at really good rates is Travelocity. Travelocity has Low Rates GUARANTEED .
