What the Hell Happened to Detroit?

About 16 months ago I abruptly disappeared from TUSCL and Detroit. Several of you PM'ed to ask if was ok, which I greatly appreciate. It's been an interesting year of near-fatal injury, death in the family, financial ruin and redemption, exotic overseas living, and a truck load of counterfeit military computer chips.

But I'm back in Detroit for a bit and fell into old habits. What's going on here? Vincemichaels and I leave for a year and the place turns to crap.

Two weeks ago I went to Landing Strip on a Saturday night. Place was packed with customers, and no strippers other than the ones on stage. In 40 minutes neither I or anyone else at the bar was approached. A total waste of time.

The following week I went to Flight Club on a Wednesday night. Nearly the same story. A smoking hot girl finally came over after 25 minutes but refused to go upstairs for less than $250. That's for LDs, not anything extra. What??

In desperation I headed over to John's Hot Spot. Hamilton clubs are a sure bet, right? Wrong. The usual (for this place) fat old girls. Finally the one not bad looking girl approached me, and said she wouldn't go in back for less than $200. At John's? Seriously? I eventually talked her down to $20 per dance, which is the official price. She was very unenthusiastic and I'm sure $200 spent on her would have gone down the toilet.

So is there a new $200 minimum in Detroit? Is my money no good? Do I have a shit stain down my shirt or something?

    Please tell me that Detroit clubs aren't going to shit before I even get a chance to visit. It's such an inconvenient town to get to, geographically speaking, although I was hoping to get there while it's still fun.

    Nice to hear from you – hope all is better now.

    Other Detroiters will chime in and I’m not one of them; but have not heard what you described for non-extras activities – the only thing that has been commented is Detroit LE cracking down where to some clubs have removed their VIPs or removed their booth doors/curtains thus making much much less private and perhaps useless.

    Hello Ermita_Nights,

    It's been a little over a year before I became seriously reading and participating on the boards here although I have been a TUSCL member and strip clubber for over a decade... looks like I came right around the time you left - so we missed each other.

    I believe my first Detroit Club encounter was around September 2014 and I had so much fun I went back for 7 or 8 weekend trips over the next year. My last trip of 2014 was late November and because of the brutal winter I didn't get back up there until March of this year. I've been there only twice this year so far and on my 3 nights out (hitting several clubs) my experiences aren't anywhere near what they were in the past. I night I actually struck out and went back to my hotel without any extras (a first for me in about 30 nights out in Detroit) and the other two nights I had to do a lot of searching (3+ clubs) before I finally found someone to do... what I came to do... with.

    Last time I was up there (just a few weeks ago) I heard chatter from the dancers at the 8 Mile clubs about a big LE presence. I had a young dancer at flight club say "I've already made a ton of money tonight, and you seem like a nice guy, I really don't want to rip you off." I was dumbfounded - I felt like saying "well what's the price to rip me off, I may pay it depending on what services are rendered."

    I keep myself in denial and say it's just a bad run and things will get better for me. I hope so because I have at least 4 trips planned between May and July.

    I'm sorry to hear about your injury and other problems. I hope you have fully recovered.

    I continue to pay $200 to $400 for extras in Detroit-area clubs, with $300 being the most usual amount. These are the prices for upscale cubs. I don't go to Bogart's or Henry VIII.

    Jack, they were opportunities, not problems.

    Agreed on the prices. What seemed unusual to me was the extreme scarcity of dancers, and their unwillingness to do anything except extras. I don't do extras unless it's a girl I know or I at least have had a chance to observe her LD skills first.

    I recently drive from columbus to detroit and visited H8S and had a good time. It was worth the drive and I'll be back.
    I have had disappointments before but it's usually only on night shifts.

    You guys. I don't think things changed in Detroit. It was never the sure thing, just close to it. There's variables like everywhere. Finding the right place, the right girl, and the right timing. It's always been ymmv.

    Maybe guys got a little lax and thought they could get away with not running RickyBoy's The System? Let that be a lesson learned!

    I'm not sure things have changed much.

    Even when things were going great, there were a few times I struck out and left without getting anything extra. Rare, for Detroit clubs, but it does happen...
    The only club I have never, ever struck out at is Penthouse. It's really a brothel. You have to pay sometimes more than you'd probably like there, but it's as close to a sure thing as I've ever experienced in Detroit.
