      Getting From Detroit to Caesars Windsor

      Where this guide stops

      Border documents are outside this guide. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) sets the rules for entering Canada, including which travel documents are accepted. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, cbp.gov) sets them for entering the United States. This guide does not list border documents.

      Clocks match on both sides of the river: Windsor and Detroit both keep Eastern Time. The tools on this site read both clocks from the browser's time-zone data, America/Toronto and America/Detroit. For currency exchange, the main cashier at Caesars Windsor has the information.

        Nineteen at the door, 21 for the card

        At Caesars Windsor, the casino and the outlets tied to it are 19+. The Augustus Tower and the convention complex welcome guests of every age.

        Caesars Rewards sets its own age bar: enrolment is for those 21 or older. To get the card or redeem Reward Credits, proof of age means valid government-issued photo ID, and management decides what ID qualifies. Rewards can be earned and redeemed by members at over 55 hotels and casinos. The regional tourism board says no other property in Canada offers Caesars Rewards.

        Where online play ends

        Regulated online gambling in Ontario is 19+ and requires the player to be physically in the province. An account can be opened or accessed from outside Ontario, but bets cannot be placed there.

        The AGCO, as regulator, must register private sites, which also need an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. Regulated sites are officially listed in the iGO directory at igamingontario.ca. Ontario's government-run online casino is OLG.ca. How the market works is explained on this guide's online page.

        Questions at the gate

        Can a 19-year-old visiting from Michigan play at Caesars Windsor?

        Yes, the Ontario age limit is enforced at the entrance. The Gaming Control Act, 1992, s. 2(3) prohibits a person under 19 from going into or remaining in a gaming site, except when working there.

        Which bus drops off near the casino?

        On the return trip from Detroit, the Linq Tunnel Bus, a private service, lets passengers off at the McDougall St & University Ave E stop, close to the casino. The Tunnel Bus run by the city has stopped operating. This guide does not list fares or timetables.

        Does the casino floor ever close?

        The floor does not close: slots and tables at Caesars Windsor run 24/7. Holiday changes are not listed in this guide, so 1-800-991-7777 is the number to check.

        Can a phone in Detroit place a bet on an Ontario site?

        To bet on a regulated Ontario site, a player has to be physically located in Ontario. Opening or accessing an account from Detroit is possible, but placing the bet from there is not.

        Does this guide list the documents needed at the border?

        This guide does not list border documents. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) sets the rules for entering Canada. U.S. Customs and Border Protection sets them for entering the United States at cbp.gov.
