Detroit

Probably best to head over to Flight Club for now outside of Detroit city limits. it is similar upscale concept and owned by the same guy

What's happening here? I just booked my flight to Detroit for next week for an extended tour of all the magic that happens in the Detroit SC world. Do I cancel and lose $6k in business class air fare?

remember the law only is for detroit CITY, not the suburbs like Inkster or Southgate

Art, $6k?!? I'd fly coach and spend the rest over the next two weeks in Motown.

CTQ: I live in Canada and I am FAT!! Business class is the only way to go.

Remember Gents, it is an ELECTION year! Raids often occur when desperate politicians grab for any vote they can get. Head for the Burbs BOYZ!!!

Art, when houses sell for as little as $100 in Detroit, you ought to spring for an estate and it can be adopted as the "TUSCL north frat house"!!

Hey Art, I haven't heard of anything when it comes to a complete enforcement of the no touch/no VIP rules yet. Just saying that it seems to be an odd coincidence that the cops are taking a sudden interest in dance cards at more than one location. I know business has been way down at a lot of the Detroit clubs and the Penthouse lawsuit appears to be a response to that. Just thinking that the city's response to the lawsuit will be enforcement of the actual law. And Alucard is exactly right, election season brings alot of sudden rections for political gains. It always has in this area.

Art, Don't change your plans. As mentioned the new ordinance applies only to the City of Detroit. There are a lot of great clubs in suburbs that will give you a great "Detroit Experience". Flight Club, Bogarts, Henry 8th (north & south), Landing Strip, and others. Do some research by reading the club reviews and you will have a great time. YMMV.

In a world where female cops moonlight as strippers and extort payoffs from club owners, anything can and will happen. That's Detroit. Today's paper has a story about Starvin' Marvin's agressive acquisition plans. When club owners have enough money and savvy to get really political, the clubs will be left alone. If the clubs would adopt a good neighbor policy and work with the surrounding residential communities they would generate a lot of goodwill that would help them.

Another FYI. Coliseum has been "raided" 4 times in the last week (day and night shift,) and Penthouse has been raided as well. By raided, I mean police coming in, checking dance cards, and tickets have been issued in the VIP to both dancers AND customers. Not 100% sure what the tickets were for, but I've heard this from more than one source. Looks like "enforcement" of the new law is in full effect, at least at these 2 establishments.

tttclub: You just broke my heart. On my visit to Detroit in July my sweetest Detroit SC experience was in Coliseum. I was so hoping to retaste that stunning post prandial dessert next week! Many disappointments in my life. I guess this is just one more. Obviously nothing like that will be happening in Coliseum any time soon.

Art, on the other hand, the girls might now be open to an OTC offer. Several years ago, one of the local clubs was raided a couple of times in the same month, and for quite some time, the offers of "back to my place" were more common than offers of dances, if the girl knew you.

Not necessarily, farmerart. You don't look like a cop, the slutty dancers will still push the limit. Go where you want in Detroit, check out the club vibe and go from there. We've been through this cycle in Detroit a couple of times. At first everyone is cautious, give them a few days and it's business as usual.
