It was about a 45-minute round trip ride. Nothing much to see but based on the guide's explanation, there is a lot of history in the area.

He also sang a few songs by male Motown artists and joined the girls in one or two songs. The lounge was relatively small. The show was great. The food was good. No luck at the casino.
