I am coming back to North America at the end of March and I have about a week to kill before I get back into my old business. I have excellent local knowledge about Toronto and Detroit, and I will be spending a couple of days in each city before I go back to Alberta. What other places should I hit for a quick "dine-and-dash" - Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix ??
I kind of think you guys know what my interests are. hehehehe
Book Guy:
It must be an airline "hub" city with easy connections around US or back to Calgary.
Thanks for the reply.
While in Detroit, you should check out my favorite club, LaChambre, which is conveniently located in a strip mall with plenty of free safe parking on the corner of Telegraph and I96. Check my reviews and if you see my ATF "Asia" tell her Santa sent you and she'll be sure you leave happy. Have fun!
farmer, hands-down Miami, both for the warm weather, with great outdoor clubs and restaurants. Hell, if I were you I would book a top notch hotel in Miami and spend a few days.
When I last went there, my days went something like this:
Morning: Roll out of bed around 9 or 10. Have a late breakfast at the hotel, followed by a swim in the warm water at the hotel's beachfront.
Midday: Spend the early afternoon under a shady spot poolside. Followed up with a late afternoon snooze in my room if I was still tired from the previous night and to fortify for a long night ahead.
Early Evening: Shower and freshen up and stroll out as darkness falls. Fine dining in one of many great restaurants, followed by a couple of cocktails and a cigar in a posh outdoor bar.
Mid to Late Evening: Club time. The girls are very understanding in many of the Miami clubs, so a great time can certainly be had. ITC, OTC, whatever you want can be found at reasonable cost. Then, fuzzy from the booze and relaxed from the other stuff, sleep becomes necessary in the wee hours.
Rinse and repeat. ;)
Houston could work. St James is close to IAH, and Treasures is about 30 minutes away. They might have pasties in Treasures, but that doesn't appear to affect the extras.
Thanks for the update, txtittyfan. Besides the Big "D",you ask. I concur with rickdugan. Although, I'll note, not just Miami itself. There are many, many clubs in South Florida. South Florida is a better term than Miami. Ask Clubber, he's lived here a long time and we have enjoyed several of the clubs here.
I'd be tempted to recommend Louisville, but the reasons would be purely self serving, i.e. hoping to be caught in the fallout of your spending spree, or an introduction to Princess Mary. :)
To be fair, there's still action to be found, but it ain't gonna be the easy sure thing that Houston, Detroit or South Florida is gonna be.
hell art, come to the cleveland area so you can make good on that offer that you proposed. cough denise :-)
I'd vote for south Florida (because of the tropic weather) first, Art. Houston has always sounded interesting.
But on the Cannonball: next time there, I'd sit in the elevated section by the bar. There's a row of tables up there from which one can see the stage/porno on the big screen, etc., and if you sit facing the notorious VIP section (there's two, and the seldom used one near the front door would be behind you -- little miss Claudia wanted to get freaky back there on my visit...) you can see which dancers are circulating the most to the VIP area, how many guys are buying, etc. IMO it's the ideal seating spot for Cannonball, and as an added bonus you'll be able to see any sneak attacks coming!
Sunny and 80 at the moment at 10:23 am. Rain forecast for later, high temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's for the forseeable future. Spring break is in full swing now. South Beach was very busy yesterday, lots of nubile college babes strutting around and showing their very fine breasts.
^^^^ FU VM! Don't rub it in!
Farmerart - If you're making a special trip, your biggest bang for your buck is South FL. If you don't mind a little drive time, you could fly into PBO or FLL and then within a couple hour radius, take in some of the best clubs anywhere:
Aside from Detroit, which you already know about, there are a few fine clubs sprinkled around, but I don't think there's another concentrated area you'd really want to make a special trip to.
Yes that's a reasonable number of locations to hit in South Florida; but, check the distances among Cocoa, Pompano, Tampa, Miami. That's not a do-able itinerary at all, with the six-hour drives you've implied.
On a related note, I am thinking of an airports-only trip to Detroit, or Dallas, or Miami. I have never been to any of those cities for mongering / clubbing. How accessible are the clubs where extras are available, to someone who simply flies into town and spends (for example) three nights at one of those cheaper hotels which has a "free" shuttle to / from the airport, out there in the airports-and-stripclubs district of town? Which city would be best for clubbing (of the non-extras variety), time to travel, and general cost-per-service (of the yes-extras variety)?
In general, I'm looking to NOT rent a car, and instead just fly into town, use short taxi trips and the free hotel shuttles, and play chicken-tender with as many hot fillies in as many hot filling stations as possible, then stumble back to the curbside, get back into my hotel room, and thence to the flight home, never having seen anything of the city itself during my whole visit. Strictly mongering, strictly in the 'burbs, strictly for the women, strictly a culture-less and utterly untourist experience.
Detroit, Houston, and East Saint Louis as a wildcard.
BookGuy, I'll send you a PM a little later about Detroit. DTW is the airport you fly into in Detroit. There are 2 or 3 clubs nearby which most likely have shuttles. I'll give you the name of the clubs, Flight Club, Playhouse, and The Landing Strip. You'd have to call them and see if they do provide shuttle service. I am a native of Detroit, I've always driven to the clubs so I can't say one way or another. There are other clubs nearby, but I doubt they provide shuttle service. Bogarts is across the street from Flight Club.
Some other city ideas: Las Vegas or NYC
Sam, your Vegas/NYC recs have me shocked to the point I'm thinking someone hacked your account and posted in your name. For the cost of Vegas action, Art could likely hit up Detroit and Toronto combined. NYC? Surely that's a Miami & Houston twin bill equivalent.
Book Guy, I agree that Detroit would meet your needs. Look at TUSCL reviews of clubs in the Detroit suburbs of Inkster, Romulus and Dearborn. Those clubs are near the airport and can be reached by taxi at a reasonable cost.
Always wanted to do the tri-fecta in Detroit: oral, manual, and main event. I've read a few reviews and am excited. Wonder what a last-minute airfare is like ... heh ... >:]
Houston has new rules, latex pasties must extend over the whole breast, bottoms must cover the whole buttock, no full-nude clubs, etc.. I can't speak from experience, haven't been there since the change, but it sounds disastrous. Atlanta has always been a disaster, low-low-low-contact in the "proper" clubs and extreme hustle (plus extreme likelihood of rip-off unless you do your research) at the "shake joint" clubs. Toronto and Detroit have always been excellent destinations, as far as I know.
Miami reportedly is getting more and more licentious, I might make a trip. It's my hope that the Treasures experience of 2005, or the Fantasia (Richmond Hill, north of Toronto) experience of 1995, might be replicated at Tootsies or another Miami haven. But I haven't quite done the research yet.
Why no mention of Tampa in your list?
