American Coney Island

 American Coney Island, home of the iconic Detroit Coney Dog, opened its first out-of-state location at the D Las Vegas on October 10, 2012.

As part of the dramatic transformation taking place at the downtown casino (formerly The Fitzgerald), the D has brought a taste of Detroit to the Fremont Street Experience.

A favorite of Detroiters and visitors for nearly a century, American Coney Island is the oldest family-owned business in Detroit.

Founder Gust Keros coined the phrase “Coney Dog” and introduced the now legendary treat to the city of Detroit in 1917. The high-quality, specially seasoned, natural-casing Dearborn sausage brand hotdog is topped with the Keros family secret recipe Coney Island Chili Sauce, fine mustard and sweet chopped onions, and served in a warm steamed bun.

The restaurant has continued to attract loyal patrons from every generation in Detroit and around the country.

American Coney Island has been featured on “The Today Show,” Iron Chef Michael Symon’s “Food Feuds” on the Food Network and The Travel Channel’s “Food Wars.”
