The Roman Empire has arrived in style in southern Ontario, staking a claim along the Detroit River, three hours from Cleveland. The conversion of Casino Windsor to Caesars Windsor is complete, down to the gold leaves on the carpeting and the scantily clad faux-marble statues throughout.
It's not quite Caesars Palace Las Vegas. But there's enough sparkle and shine to impress even Cleopatra.
The Ontario government, which owns the casino, announced two years ago that it would invest more than $400 million into the facility, a dramatic reaction to competition from across the river in Detroit, where three casinos opened earlier this decade.
