In November 1996 Michigan voters approved Proposal E, which authorized three casinos to be built and operated in the City of Detroit. One of the casinos was the MGM Grand. The temporary casino officially opened on July 29, 1999 to much fanfare.

On December 13, 2005 the Michigan Gaming Control Board approved MGM Grand's plans for a permanent casino with 100,000 square feet of casino space, 401 hotel rooms and an eight story self-parking garage to be located on John C. Lodge Freeway and Bagley Street, three to four blocks from the temporary casino. The Casino is also rebuilding 3rd street into a two-way boulevard to facilitate traffic movement around the site.

Three full service restaurants, a nightclub, a buffet restaurant, a "fast food" type restaurant with four different styles of eateries, and several bars will flank the casino floor. There will also be a coffee shop in both the casino and the hotel lobby. The casino will host a poker room with an adjacent lounge with its own cigar room.

Hale Contracting Inc. was awarded a portion of the HVAC contract for the permanent gaming facility. Hale Contracting did the piping and installation for all the air handling units, the lobby units, security offices the cabinet unit heaters and the ice machines.

Visitors and employees who enjoy the bright lights and lively sounds of the MGM Grand Casino in comfort and safety do so thanks in part to Hale Contracting Inc., the leader in heating and cooling for your comfort and safety through innovative solutions.
