Greektown, MGM Grand, MotorCity Casinos Ditching Mask Requirements In Detroit
On the day when all outdoor pandemic restrictions have been lifted in Michigan, Detroit casinos are also ditching a mask mandate.
Greektown Casino, MotorCity Casino and MGM Grand Detroit announced all fully vaccinated people can enter without a mask as of Tuesday. No proof of the shots is required.
The changes are allowed by an updated executive order from the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
According to changes from the state’s health and human services department on Tuesday, restaurants also can increase capacity from 25% to 50%. Furthermore, varieties of common areas such as pool tables and dance floors can reopen. Outdoor capacity restrictions for outings such as Detroit Tigers games are also being lifted.
In addition, offices are also reopening across the state without mask requirements for fully vaccinated workers.
Several of Michigan’s 23 tribal casinos also have allowed for customers to enter without masks, including one more as of Tuesday.
