Aquatic said:Noreaga - Toledo? Do you live down around Monroe to hang out in Toledo when going out?
As far as Detroit goes you could stay at an upscale Hotel called the Atheneum where many teams stay when playing in town. This will put you right by Greektown with good eats and nightlife and very nice casino. The MGM Casino isn't far either. The Fox theatre and Hockeytown Cafe are just down Woodward across from Comerica Park.
The Windsor alternative is also there with many nude strip clubs and a good Casino Windsor and some nightclubs plus that safe feel of not being in Detroit where if you drift off the path can be like many urban cities and get yourself in a situation not using common sense.
If you are just coming into the area to go to the Pistons game and not venture out then you are better staying north of Detroit in Birmingham as the Lakers did last year for the finals. This puts you about 15 miles up I-75 from the Palace. Very nice area and nightlife but again pricey.
