Soak in Some Style this Season

No one takes summer and the array of outdoor activities for granted in Michigan. But by September, once the sandals are back in the closet, and the beach towels are put away, it’s time to step out on the town.

At MGM Grand Detroit, guests are treated to the best in food, fun, lodging, and entertainment. As a four-star hotel, MGM Grand offers plush amenities upon arrival. Those who are in for some gaming, dancing or dining can head to the 100,000 square foot award-winning casino, V Nightclub, or one of the fine Wolfgang Puck restaurants.

For a star-studded casino experience, head to Hollywood Casino Toledo where the red carpet experience abounds. Check out the state-of-the-art poker room or dine in style at Final Cut Steak & Seafood.

For a more family-oriented getaway, perhaps a weekend in Frankenmuth would ease the way back into school mode. Its old world charm is always in style. At the Bavarian Inn Lodge, guests can enjoy the Family Fun Center featuring water slides, miniature golf, and more.

Of course, what could be better than the “in between” seasons of Up North. The crowds are few, and it’s the perfect opportunity to explore northern resorts and communities. In Traverse City, the accommodations deals are terrific; the atmosphere more relaxed, and the golf course trees are just beginning to show signs of fall color.

Michigan summers are fleeting, but fortunately there are always fabulous escape spots to explore near and far. This fall, soak in some style. Summer may be gone, but there is still plenty of warmth to be found, indoors and out.

For years, smart vacationers have known Traverse City as a beautiful summer destination. But this lovely place doesn’t really come into its own until autumn.

Fall only sharpens Traverse City’s natural enchantment, adding color to the hills and valleys; mystery to the long, golden beaches; and spice to the fragrant air. The summer crowds have vanished — and, best of all, the prices are especially affordable.

Think there’s nothing to do once the summer is over? Think again! Wander down a magnificent golden beach, enjoy a round of championship golf, or amble through the shops and stores of a friendly, tree-shaded village. Cast your line into one of America’s most famous trout streams, tour the breathtakingly beautiful wine country of the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, or just take a drive through the most gorgeous fall display you’ll see anywhere.

Experience a True North autumn in Traverse City.
