MotorCity Neighborhood Partnership Makes a Difference for Residents and BusinessesDETROIT, MI -- MotorCity Casino, United Way Community Services and Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit once again rolled up their sleeves and got involved in a beautification project for the Grand River/Trumbull area. The second installment of the ongoing project took place on Saturday, November 4. The collaborative effort has been named the MotorCity Neighborhood Partnership, focusing on making a better community "One Block at a Time.'' The target sites were selected with the assistance of research provided by United Way Community Services and interaction with community organizations. MotorCity Casino Vice President and General Manager, Rhonda Cohen sees tremendous value in the project, "The first event in July sparked a collaborative effort of participation and pride in the area. We are excited to be a part of such a positive and worthwhile effort.'' Coming on the heels of a largely successful kickoff event in July, this effort continued a commitment by MotorCity Casino and the MotorCity Neighborhood Partnership to put something back into the community. Organizers expect to match and exceed the army of participants that rolled up their sleeves in July. Community organizations, businesses and area residents picked up, cleaned and beautified various sites including streets, vacant lots, and Scripps Park. MotorCity Casino is owned and operated by Detroit Entertainment, LLC, a joint venture of Detroit-based Atwater Casino Group and Las Vegas-based Mandalay Resort Group. MotorCity Casino's temporary facility is a four-story casino with two main floors of gaming as well as a third floor non-smoking gaming area and a fourth floor high-limit area. Two live entertainment venues, four restaurants and parking for 3,500 automobiles round out the lineup to provide a fun, exciting and sophisticated entertainment experience.

She beat out 222 other finalists from 30 states and one Canadian province, who advanced to the Reno finals from 33 qualifying property tournaments. "I'm going to take my parents someplace really nice,'' Batchelor said when asked what she would do with her winnings. "They've done a lot for me -- they've always supported me -- and it will be nice to pay them back a little. I'm also going to take care of my friends.'' Laughlin, NV - Beatrice Pierce of Bullhead City, Arizona, who describes herself as, "a regular Ramada Express winner," hit the mother lode on a Megabucks progressive jackpot machine Saturday, September 7.
