Downtown Detroit

Detroit’s influence on the world is always underestimated, due to the decades of population flight and urban decay that have struck the once mighty mighty metropolis. If you’re visiting Detroit, rent a charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus from Bus Rental Detroit, and find out for yourself what Motor City has to offer. Detroit is large, and spread out over several neighborhoods, so a rental bus is a good way of moving around to see the city, especially if you are in a group.
The name Detroit will always be synonymous with that machine that Americans have a great love affair with, the car. If you’re interested in the latest developments in vehicle technology, and the unveiling of next year’s models, get a rental bus and head over to the North American International Motor Show. Running from January 14 to January 27, 2013, NAIAS is one of the largest auto shows in North America. Both production vehicles as well as show cars are unveiled at NAIAS, with manufacturers using crowd reactions to gauge market acceptance of new designs. Manufacturers also use NAIAS to showcase new technology, like electric powered vehicles and hybrids. This year’s show will see the introduction of the C7 Corvette from GM, the Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible, the replacement for the Acura NSX and the Mini John Cooper Works Paceman, among others. 
The Renaissance Center is a symbol of Detroit’s industrial might, the tallest building in downtown Detroit. More correctly a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers, the entire complex is owned by GM as part of its corporate headquarters. The tallest tower in the complex is the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, billed as the tallest all hotel tower in the Western Hemisphere. A good place to visit in your rental bus, take the glass elevator up to Coach Insignia, the world’s largest rooftop restaurant. You can take a free tour of the Renaissance Center, which are held thrice daily, Monday through Saturday. View the GM Wintergarden, a tropical atrium overlooking the Detroit River, GMNext, a showcase of GM’s classic and concept cars, and visit the Riverfront Plaza and Promenade.
Visitors to the city might be surprised to learn that Detroit is the largest American city to house casino resorts. Take your rental bus and visit one of the four main resort casinos. These are the MGM Grand Detroit, the MotorCity Casino, the Greektown Casino and the Caesar’s Windsor. The MGM Grand Detroit is the largest and was the first of the resort casinos to open to the public outside of Las Vegas and Atlantic City. This casino resort boasts of luxury suites, a spa, several signature restaurants and over 90 gaming tables and 4,000 slot machines.
If you’re visiting Detroit, especially as part of a group, take a rental bus from Bus Rental Detroit to see Motor City. Forget about Detroit’s past reputation. City efforts to revitalize downtown Detroit are bearing fruit, and taking a rental bus is a fine way to see Detroit’s downtown and have a great time.
