Casino dining is synonymous with sumptuousness and extravagance, and the moment diners enter Iridescence's shimmering interior, with its hip-to-ceiling windows affording views of the city below. But the restaurant doesn't just look rich, the kitchen's modern American cuisine lives up to the dramatic design, featuring 4-diamond fare and a Wine Spectator Award-winning list. Such dishes as Black Angus beef, Thai-style cioppino, and South African lobster tail, and togarashi-dusted Alaskan grilled halibut cement Iridescence's reputation for decadence.

Back in 2012, the beautiful Best won best female bartender in Real Detroit Weekly's Best of Detroit polling. Back then the cocktail maker was working at Pontiac's long-standing nightclub, Tonic. Now, the beloved bar's doors have been shuddered, but Best isn't out of work — she's heading up the bar at Royal Oak's swanky Sabrage.

We know it took St. Louis a long time to get to the top, including some jobs at crappy corporate restaurants. Now, though, he's whipping up creative (and tasty) cocktails at Greektown's Firebird Tavern. We're particularly fans of the hot buttered rum.

377 Riverside Dr. E., Windsor; 800-991-7777; caesars.com

Since the dawn of the first die, humans have been rollin' dem bones. And Caesars Windsor is where the high rollers are, literally, as the casino has the highest posted limits in the Detroit area and all of Ontario — highest of all at the craps tables, at $50,000. But don't be intimidated by those zeroes — even a modest wager can be exciting.
