MotorCity Casino Hotel

Overview

When you drop a 3 million dollar sound system into a fresh, intimate venue, you get shows where the line between performer and audience becomes blurred. Where both star and fan are inspired to give it their all. In short, you get Sound Board, a place where every show is a legendary one. But don’t take our word for it…

“Performing at the Sound Board was like being in an electrical power house. The Detroit fans were alive and well into the show.

I'm looking forward to returning soon."

The Manhattan Transfer

"We recently played the Sound Board at the Motor City Casino in (where else?) Detroit, Michigan. The Sound Board is a perfect example of the real state of the art performing venues beginning to emerge in the US. We played there about 3 weeks ago, and had a fabulous experience. It's a genuine pleasure to perform in a venue that is designed for great sound, and most certainly overshadows the older casino showroom venues. My Manhattan Transfer partners and I had a ball performing there, and would come back in a heartbeat. I wish there were more venues like that in the US. And, oh yes, they are a great bunch of folk to work for- great food, great treatment, right in the heart of the Motor City."

"We came in early that afternoon to do a sound check and immediately noticed the commitment to detail and outlay put into the venue. It was everything...artist and fan-oriented, with superior lights and sound. Someone had made sure this was going to be a great experience. And the staff couldn't have been more gracious, always appreciated by touring groups. We were genuinely impressed. The show that night was over and above our expectations, a real celebration."

I've yet to mention the SOUND BOARD theater which I found to be an amazing feeling room.
