Not a casino worker, just a simple poker player, but if you're going to be working downtown you might look at Grosse Pointe - very short commute. Ann Arbor is about a 45 minute commute with no traffic, but it has everything. Novi, Northville, Birmingham, Rochester Hills are all great suburbs as well. Grosse Pointe is the "old" money.
Lots of rich, cool people are actually moving into the city, downtown. So the question is, how cool are you? If you're cool, you might try Ferndale as well. That's where the hipsters live.
Detroit is actually doing very well compared to the 80's when I was going to school downtown. Most people who visit these days are pleasantly surprised. It's just the damn weather that sucks.
