Wear comfortable walking shoes. . .this place is huge, possibly matched in size only by such casinos as Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Horseshoe Hammond in Indiana. Located across the river from Detroit, near the exit from the United States-to-Canada tunnel, Caesars Windsor Hotel & Casino offers some challenges to U.S. residents who arrive as tourists, but it's a beautiful facility with two floors of slots and table games, a poker room, several food and beverage outlets, and a massive entertainment venue and conference center.
Windsor Casino is one of only a few Canadian gambling spots with a full sportsbook. Gamblers can bet on professional sports and watch their teams play in the Legends Sports Bar. There are 7 different types of table games, 3 types of poker games and over 3000 slot machines including a progressive jackpot over three million dollars at Windsor Casino. Caesars Windsor has reopened, but only to a limited number of invited guests, and only slot machines are available for play. In addition, the Windsor-Detroit border is closed to all non-essential travel until further notice. For the latest updates, click here.
There is a large indoor self-parking garage, as well as valet. Both are complimentary for Seven Stars cardholders. If you self-park, and have a lot of baggage, it can be a long walk to hotel registration – especially if you find yourself accommodated in the Forum Tower.
Unlike in the United States, players as young as 19 may gamble in Canada. Also, be aware that children younger than 19 are not allowed outside the Augustus Tower. This means they may not use the pool or fitness center, or eat in any of the restaurants (other than Spago Trattoria), and must walk on the outside of the building from the self-parking garage.
The casino is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The entire casino is non-smoking.
There are two separate towers.
The Augustus Tower is the newer of the two and

is nearer to hotel registration which the Forum Tower, quite a distance away, shares.Insider Tip
Décor in both towers is similar; the style classic, but contemporary. You'll see touches of the ancient Rome theme, but it's not overwhelming. Cream colors and light grays make for an inviting and airy environment.
Preferred rooms in the Augustus Tower overlook downtown Detroit and the river separating the United States and Canada. Bay rooms are particularly nice, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spacious living/sleeping area. All rooms have refrigerators and coffee-makers, but bathrooms are a little on the small side.
There is a spa (see below), pool and fitness center in the Forum Tower. The pool and fitness center are complimentary for all hotel guests. Use your room key for access.
The Spa by Windsor Arms
The Spa by Windsor Arms is a full-service health, wellness and beauty spa located on the second floor of the Forum Tower. Guests can experience individualized Eastern and Western treatments featuring organic and pure serums, oils and applications, as well as a “calming and relaxing atmosphere, with trained therapists, in the luscious surroundings of [the] spa,” according to the Caesars website. Seven Stars cardholders are eligible for a 20 percent discount on all services. Note, though, that, while Reward Credits are accepted, it’s at a 2:1 ratio. In addition, cash/credit card purchases do not earn Reward Credits as they do at other Caesars outlets.
ARIIUS, an upscale, premium nightclub, offers “a world-class Vegas experience – the first of its kind in Windsor,” according to the Caesars Windsor website. Located in the former VIP Table Games area, steps from the Skybridge and across from Caesars Essentials gift shop, according to the site, “ARIIUS brings a level of sophistication and intrigue along with boundless fun and excitement to Windsor’s entertainment landscape.” ARIIUS is open Fridays and Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. The nightclub also will be available for private corporate and personal functions during non-operating hours.

It's quite a distance from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and even the Detroit City Airport, but it's certainly a possibility. With Canadian law limiting the use of comp dollars to food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases, it might be difficult to use your entire $500 folio credit. For U.S. citizens, currency conversion can be a bit of a hassle. Places to visit and activities outside the casino include wineries, hiking Point Pelee Park, Pelee Island (winery and bicycling), and bicycling along the river.
