Detroit Always Misses Out on the Fun

Where: 1000 River Place [map], Detroit, MI, United States, 48207

NOTE: Weather conditions in Detroit do not currently look like this.

Before you ask "whoa, why are you recommending a hotel in, of all places, Detroit?," let us all take a moment to reflect on the amount of blue-collar workers over the last few months who have slowly trickled from their well-paying jobs right into their couch cushions.

For the laid-off, a trip to Miami or London to forget about your troubles is exactly what the doctor ordered, but even these jaunts are expensive for someone with no income. This is where Detroit comes in, offering a fresh start to those who dare relocate to the Motor City. Before taking the plunge toward a new artist studio or sweet warehouse loft, we suggest camping out at the Omni Hotel at River Place, where the rooms begin at $106 and health club use is thrown in.

An added bonus to staying at any hotel in Detroit is its proximity to the casinos of Windsor, Ontario. Place your last $5 on red, spin, and slowly work your way into the black with the help of lady luck. This way, you can get the cha-ching of Vegas without shelling out for Celine Dion and at the same time, perhaps develop a new life plan in a city that desperately needs a dose of the creative class.
