MotorCity Casino Hotel

[2] The complex houses a 100,000 square-foot casino with approximately 2,500 slot machines, and 59 table games; a 13,000-square-foot spa; 67,000 square feet of meeting and convention space; Sound Board, a live music theater with a capacity of 2,400 people; and a luxury hotel with 400 guest rooms and suites.

[citation needed] Originally opened by Mandalay Resort Group, their 53.5% stake was later purchased on April 12, 2005, for $525 million by Marian Ilitch, who already owned 25% of MotorCity.

Foose's influence is reflected strongly in the sweeping roof design, a 304-foot-long stainless steel undulating ribbon produced by Quality Metalcraft Inc., under the direction of Michael Chetcuti.

[citation needed] The interior of the casino is notable for Foose's design of the ceiling, which features large, extruded aluminum-like beams and thousands of multi-color LEDs that can display video with more than 256,000 colors.

[citation needed] Since opening with a concert by Detroit native Anita Baker on October 23, 2008, Sound Board has hosted entertainment and musical performers.
