Please rephrase your request.

Michigan casinos are aligning with the mask recommendation issued by the state health department in late 2021 for indoor gatherings.

Starting from November and extending into the upcoming year, Greektown Casino, MotorCity Casino, and MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit have reinstated their mask mandate for all individuals aged 2 and above, irrespective of their vaccination status.

The Michigan casinos that now require masks include Gun Lake Casino in Wayland, along with the addition of the Detroit casinos.

Citing the upcoming holidays and the surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations statewide, the advisory was released by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

Please revisit this page for updates on the Michigan casinos that will be mandating masks during the holiday season.

MotorCity will require masks on the casino floor, not at Sound Board

Visitors attending a show at Sound Board in MotorCity have access to a convenient loophole.

The MotorCity website states that currently, the policy does not extend to guests who are attending banquets or events in Sound Board. They assure to provide updates as the situation progresses.

According to the casino, the requirement to wear masks on the casino floor will remain in place indefinitely.

Masks required at MGM Grand, unless you’re eating, drinking

In November, face masks were once again mandated at MGM Grand, the busiest casino in Michigan.

Nevertheless, the casino informed its customers via email to ensure they wear a face mask consistently, except when actively consuming food or beverages. Additionally, the email assured customers that if they or their companions require a face mask, one would be given to them upon entering the casino floor.

The downtown Detroit casino in Greektown has officially announced that a mask mandate will be in effect.

More mask mandates could be on the way for Michigan casinos

Last year, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, all casinos throughout the state were forced to close their doors. However, operations gradually resumed in the latter part of the year, albeit with various restrictions in place.

The mask mandate at Little River Casino Resort in Manistee was recently lifted on October 1st. Unlike other casinos in Michigan, tribal casinos like Gun Lake operate independently from state mandates and typically rely on guidance from their tribal health departments to establish rules for their establishments.

Further updates may be anticipated regarding additional mask mandates for Michigan casinos. Stay tuned for more information.
