Casino Windsor

Casino Windsor (soon to be rebranded Caesars Windsor  in 2008) is a major casino resort in Windsor, Ontario. Owned by the government of the province of Ontario, it is operated by Harrah’s Entertainment. The casino is located on Windsor’s riverfront overlooking the Detroit skyline near the Canadian end of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. The creation of this casino was a leading factor in the legalization of casino gambling in Detroit.

The casino hotel stands at 21 stories tall, and was constructed in 1998. Casino Windsor attracts about six million visitors annually. Its main competitors are MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Greektown Casino in Detroit. Casino Windsor is a non-smoking casino that attracts people from the Metro Detroit region as well as tourists from Toledo, Ohio and Cleveland, Ohio.
