Caesars Windsor Resort
Insider Tip
Book your room and dinner reservation together if you're visiting on a Colosseum show night. The property fills fast, and walk-up tables at the better restaurants disappear an hour before showtime. Arrive early, park in the self-park garage rather than waiting on valet during peak periods, and check your Rewards tier before you book, since even a mid-level status can shave a real amount off your parking and room rate.
How to Get There
Caesars Windsor address sits at 377 Riverside Drive East, right on the Detroit River, a few minutes from the Windsor-Detroit tunnel.
- Riverside Drive entrance: the main vehicle access point, marked clearly from both directions of traffic
- Walking distance from the tunnel: roughly a 10-minute walk if you're crossing from Detroit on foot
- GPS accuracy: standard map apps route you straight to the valet drop-off, no detours needed
- Nearby landmarks: the Windsor riverfront trail runs right past the building, useful for orientation
From Detroit and Beyond
Cross-border visitors make up a large share of guests, so the route matters as much as the Caesars Windsor address itself. Drivers use either the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel or the Ambassador Bridge.
- Tunnel route: fastest for downtown Detroit visitors, expect a short customs check
- Bridge route: better for those coming from the Michigan suburbs or connecting highways
- Ontario highway access: Highway 401 connects Windsor to the rest of southern Ontario
- Windsor International Airport: about a 20-minute drive from the property
Parking
Caesars Windsor parking gets tight on weekends and Colosseum show nights. The resort offers self-park (attached garage, direct casino access) and valet at the main entrance. Rewards members often get discounted rates. Hotel guests typically get overnight parking included - confirm at check-in. Arrive early on Fridays and Saturdays for guaranteed close spots.
The In-House Hotel
The resort operates two towers. Forum Tower Caesars Windsor offers the original accommodation wing, while the Augustus Tower, added during the 1998-2008 expansion, delivers a more modern build with higher floors and updated finishes.
- Forum Tower: closer to the original casino floor, shorter walk to gaming areas
- Augustus Tower: 27 storeys, added during the major expansion, includes higher-end room categories
- Connecting walkways: both towers link directly to the casino, conference centre, and Colosseum
Two towers make up the accommodation side of the resort, each with a distinct feel and price point.

Dining
Beyond gaming and rooms, the property runs a full slate of Caesars Windsor restaurants and bars under one roof.
Options range from quick bites to sit-down dinners:
- Casual dining: quick, no-fuss options for a break between sessions
- Steakhouses: sit-down restaurants for a proper dinner, reservations recommended on weekends
- Bars: several spread across the casino floor and towers, most open late
- Retail and lounges: scattered throughout the main floor, useful for a quiet break
Entertainment
Caesars Windsor Colosseum hosts touring acts and stands as the resort's largest single draw outside the casino floor itself. It's worth checking the show calendar before you book.
- The Colosseum: a 5,000-seat venue ranking among the busier concert stops in the region
- Touring acts: regular schedule of national and international performers
- Show tickets: book separately from your room, availability tightens fast for popular acts
- Casino floor entertainment: smaller live acts and promotions run periodically, check the schedule on arrival
Conference Facilities
The resort's conference centre, purpose-built during the 1998-2008 expansion, handles corporate events and larger gatherings. Meeting rooms come in multiple sizes for smaller sessions or breakouts, with on-site catering coordinated directly through the resort. Book well ahead of your date, especially around show weekends when space gets tight.
