Greektown
Opens New Garage
In celebration of its fifth
anniversary today, Greektown Casino is opening
a new 630-space valet parking garage, improving
valet parking service at Detroit's "Best
Casino."
The
new eight-story garage, at Beaubien and Fort,
is designed to shorten the time guests will
have to wait to valet park and retrieve their
vehicles, said Greektown Casino Chief Executive
Officer Craig Ghelfi.
"As
we move toward building our permanent casino
and eventually opening a 3,500-space attached
parking garage, the valet garage will make it
more convenient for Greektown Casino guests
who choose to valet their vehicles," Ghelfi
said. "Once both garages are open, Greektown
Casino will lead the market in parking options
and convenience."
The
valet garage was built by Jenkins/Skanska, a
joint venture of two accomplished, full-service
Michigan construction firms. Jenkins/Skanska
will also be the program/construction managers
for the permanent Greektown Casino development.
Greektown
is working with the Michigan Gaming Control
Board to finalize plans for its permanent casino,
which will include a 400-room hotel at Monroe
and I-375 and the new attached parking garage
at the northeast corner of Monroe and St. Antoine.
Located
at 555 E. Lafayette Avenue in Detroit's Greektown
Entertainment District, Greektown Casino features
nearly 2,400 slot machines and 101 table games
in 75,000 square feet of luxurious Mediterranean-themed
gaming space.
Greektown
Casino continues to set the gaming standard
in Michigan and remains the industry's leader
in implementing technology to improve guest
service. Greektown is home to the city's first
and largest live poker room, and was the first
Detroit casino to implement coinless slot machines
and Ticket-in, Ticket-out redemption stations
-- keeping the casino on the cutting edge of
gaming entertainment and customer service technologies.
