For those seeking hustle and unlimited fun, Greektown is the place to be. What once was one block of nearly identical Greek restaurants has expanded into an exciting district filled with restaurants, clubs, shops and even the Greektown Casino. The increasingly upscale but still affordable Greek eateries and bakeries, with their succulent baklava and other pastries, still provide the anchor for a diverse area.
Opened in 1928 as the Wilson Theatre, the Music Hall underwent a USD6.5 million renovation in the mid-1990s. This historic venue is sometimes considered the dance capital of the mid-western United States. Though dance is the top attraction, the center's eclectic schedule includes musicals, opera, family shows, comedy acts and almost always national touring productions. It's ideally situated between the new stadiums and Greektown and after decades of bravely going it all alone, now finds itself an integral part of a thriving theater district. All of the 1731 seats have great sight lines and wonderful acoustics.
Developer Chuck Forbes meticulously restored this 450-seat, 1926-vintage theater in the early 1990s, recreating its intricate proscenium panels and original carpeting. The theater, a part of the Century Club building, has a long and checkered history. The first foreign film to be shown in Detroit was screened here and later it hosted vaudeville and burlesque shows. After the Gem's restoration and reopening, the Century Club and Gem seemed doomed, because they were in the path of the new baseball and football stadiums. To save it, it was carted five blocks away in 1997, the heaviest building ever moved on wheels. Now it hosts intimate local shows, such as Jeff Daniels' Escanaba in Da Moonlight. It's a real gem of the Theatre District.
Located in the same building as the Gem Theatre, Century has its fair share of events to enthrall crowds. The stage is known to have hosted comedies, musicals and Broadway hits.

Check out the Elwood Bar and Grill, located only minutes away, which also holds similar packages.
