There are tons of things to do at MotorCity Casino, but catching a show at the Sound Board is one of our favorite things to do at the vibrant casino. The 1,500-seat theater has a unique way of feeling intimate, yet big and theatrical all at the same time. They've hosted such acts as Aretha Franklin, Gregg Allman, Melissa Etheridge, Patti LaBelle, and comedian Margaret Cho.
