DETROIT — Greektown Casino-Hotel in Downtown Detroit will be renamed to Hollywood Casino in Greektown on May 1, the Penn National Gaming announced Monday in a news release. The rebranding will also be accompanied by $30 million in upgrades and renovations to the casino-hotel. Some changes to the venue include renovating the hotel lobby, adding a cocktail bar and redesigning its 400 guestrooms and suites. In addition to the cocktail bar, the casino also plans to add rock bar lounges, an upscale Dunkin' concept in the hotel lobby, new menus as well as other options at the Barstool Sportsbook. The work was expected to be completed in the coming months. "Becoming Hollywood Casino at Greektown will offer our guests the best of both worlds: we're keeping all of the unique, neighborhood charm that has defined Greektown since we opened our doors, while adding several new amenities that come with being a part of Penn National's flagship brand family," General manager of Hollywood Casino at Greektown John Drake said. "Whether you're a regular, loyal guest or a first-time visitor, we'll have something new and improved for you to experience and enjoy." The casino also plans a new cashless payment system called mywallet, which will allow guests to connect to slot machines and table games with their phones, allowing them to add funds, collect winnings, earn tier points and more. To celebrate its rebranding, the Hollywood Casino at Greektown will host events May 19 and May 21. Information on the events is available at greektowncasino.com/casino/promotions.
