They are: Atwater/Circus Circus (Detroit Entertainment); Greektown/Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (Greektown Casino); and MGM Grand (MGM Grand Detroit Casino).
Among the set of applicants who weren’t included on Archer’s list are: Mandalay Resort Group; local businessman and casino operator Don H. Barden; businessman Donald Trump; and Paradise Valley Rio of Las Vegas, whose ownership team includes former Mayor Coleman A. Young. 
The exclusion of Barden will set off a political war that will feature a spirited yet unsuccessful recall attempt of Archer by Barden supporters; and a 1998 local ballot initiative to secure an operating license for Barden, who will bankroll the measure. The Barden proposal will include pop superstar Michael Jackson as an investor and partner.
