Bad Timing
My second time in Detroit and first time at this club. Apparently I picked a lousy time to stop by (see below), but I was out doing other things and was in the area so I thought I'd give it a shot. I generally like daytime club visits, especially at shift change because you sometimes get to meet girls eager to make some money before they leave and also see who's coming in fresh. And sometimes not. I was there from 5:30 to 6:45 on a Saturday. Valet parking was $7.00, no cover, and bottled water was $7.00 at the bar. The club was very nice with one small stage, and the whole time I was there, they had someone on stage. Unfortunately, there's a difference between having someone on stage and having someone dancing, because the girls I saw basically just walked back and forth on stage in a slow shuffle. Granted, there were only about seven or eight customers and no one was tipping, but still. There were only five girls that I could see. I was told shift change was at 7:00, but a couple of them left before 6:30. Only one approached me at the bar, and things took a promising turn when she asked, "Is it OK if I touch your cock?" Sure, why not, and her hand went up my commando shorts. She was not really the most attractive woman (a bit older, average face, largish fake boobs), but certainly friendly enough to get me started. I took her for a couple of dances, which were $25 each in a "private" room upstairs with a heavy beaded metal curtain. No tip to the bouncer was needed. The dances were fairly high mileage and more was clearly available. However, I was not really interested in continuing. I stayed a bit longer and saw a few girls arrive in their street clothes, but knowing how long it takes for them to "get ready" to start working, I was not interested in waiting and bailed. All in all, it seems like an OK place, with some semblance of good mileage available; I just picked the wrong time to stop in. I would come back, but would do it either earlier or later.

Satisfied and surprised
Decided to play hookey from work and camp out at Players for an afternoon and get some lunch. Showed up around 1pm, ordered a steak and a couple shots to get it going. Food was okay, shots were overpriced for an afternoon shift. There have been plenty of times that I’ve gone to an afternoon shift and gotten taken care of with drink and food prices. This was okay. The club is nice. You’ve read about the club before though. Tall blonde with huge bolt on a walked over and introduced herself (but I didn’t catch the name). We had a nice conversation about the day, sports, what I do for a living and the food. All in all, we didn’t even talk about business until at least an hour and 20 in. I then inquire about the menu, to which she plays coy for about 10 mins. I convince her that this isn’t my first time, and I’m well versed in how this goes down. She then gives me the low down and we negotiate for BBBJ with finish on the chest with zero song count for $150. A little high, but I’m turned on by her attention. Go to VIP and immediately get down to business. Surprisingly, she’s working me like a pro. I’m used to the mediocre engagement, with little enthusiasm. However, she’s definitely working it (I assume to make me finish quicker. Fun fact: I don’t). After about 3 songs, she’s asks if there is anything else she can do. I then ask if I can go for the face fucking. She obliges, but for $20 extra. One song into that and she is worked. Definitely could tell she regretted asking, but like a pro, she kept it up. Still not done, but close, she tells me to sit back down, to which, by my surprise, she pulls out a glove. I tell her that we didn’t negotiate that and I’m not interested in dropping $400 for it. We negotiate it down to a total of $300 for everything, and she then hops on. Once again, I expect this to be just a job, but I was again surprised to the level of enthusiasm she worked into this. She even told me she was going to finish herself, which is what made me finish. All in all, I was surprised leaving with the level of pro I got. I would return.

Maybe I'll have better luck next time
Players was the first stop on my whirlwind tour of Detroit strip clubs. It’s a long haul from the airport so it took me almost 40 minutes to get there. I arrived a little after 4:00. Forced valet parking is $7, no cover at this time of day. However, the doorman shook my hand when I entered and asked if I wanted a booth or table. I told him I would just sit at the bar. Players is small, but very nice. I believe one of the dancers told me its been remodeled recently, and it looks like it. The stage is in the middle of the club, slightly to the right as you walk in, the circular bar is just past the stage. The bar is made out of some kind mineral rock composite and illuminated from below. It looks very nice, and all of the furnishings look new and well kept. A beer was $4, which I assume as a happy hour price. There were around a half-dozen older PLs hanging out at the bar and some of the booths. I counted 10 dancers, mostly white but two or three AAs, looks mostly in the 6-7 range, but there were two outliers. The first outlier was a 50ish looking dancer with a weathered looking face and big hair. She looked like a 1970s street hooker. The other was a cute early twenties spinner that had a resemblance to actress Juliette Lewis—not quite that pretty in the face, but a banging spinner body. A “2” and a “9.” I rated the big hair girl a 2 only because she seemed to have all of her teeth and limbs (although those teeth looked like they could have been dentures). Juliette Lewis and a couple of the other girls were tied up with a talkative older PL at the bar. I could feel big hair girl tracking me as I walked to the bar and took a seat. When I scanned the room, I could see she was staring directly at me, but I tried to avoid looking at her. Of course, she came straight over anyway and asked if I wanted company, which I declined. I watched the girls doing stage sets two at a time on the two-pole stage. When Juliette Lewis went up, I tipped her and asked if she was busy. She said no and said she would come over she was done. After she got off stage she came over, sat next to me, and chatted for a while. She said all of the other guys were regulars that came almost every day. Apparently, the girls were wondering if I was a cop since no one had seen me before. She said Detroit was really cracking down on strip clubs and there had been lots of raids, so management was kind of uptight. The inspectors were getting very strict on some of the stupid local ordinances, like not having butt covered if not on stage ($200 fine) or being topless if not on stage ($500 fine). She was reassured that I was drinking a beer. She said if I had ordered a bottle of water it would have confirmed that I was a cop. I’m pretty sure undercover cops are allowed to drink if needed to maintain their cover, but I didn’t tell her that. After chatting for a while the topic turned of course to dances. Based on past reviews, I had apparently found one of the few girls in Players that doesn’t do extras. Or maybe she really did think I was a cop. Anyway, she had been pretty good company, and was really cute, so I asked her for a regular $25 lap dance. We went upstairs to the lap dance area, which is a row of booths separated by beaded curtains. The beads are actually steel, like ball bearings, and very heavy. She said they were supposed to coming down soon at the insistence of the city. The dance was average mileage, nothing spectacular. It was one and done and I was out of there. Overall, this was a nice visit and the club may be worth a visit if you’re in the area, but I’m not sure it was worth the over one hour round-trip drive from the airport area. However, since Coliseum was just down the road, I decided to stop by there also before heading back. That stop was definitely worth the drive.

Best man duties
I have not been here since the remodel and I wanted to see how it looked. I must say that they did a pretty good job. I'm told they have a dress code. I am not sure how relaxed they are but wearing khakis and a collared shirt was fine.They had a guest DJ that had a pretty solid mix of music. I am more into rock but the other genres played were well selected. Typical strip club dim lighting and it appeared to be pretty clean. I did not get any names but the girls that I did speak to (briefly) were pretty nice. Of the 20+ girls there I would say there was one 10, a few solid 9's, and only 1 or 2 below a 7. I'm into the petite and natural ladies but there is definitely something there for all tastes. Talent wise, there were a few that just stood on the stage shaking their ass but quite a few knew how to go up the pole. Valet is 7. Cover is 10. Dances are in the vip only for 25/song. I did not explore the extras on this menu but like most clubs, it varies widely from girl to girl. The food menu is pretty impressive and reasonable for the atmosphere. Especially their lunch specials. The reuben was pretty good for 9 dollars. Beer was 7 dollars a bottle. They do buckets of 5 for 25 (i think) but I did not need a dui. My visit was to decide if I want to make plans to go back for a bachelor party. I treated everybody i encountered with respect and it was returned. Especially from security but also waitresses and dancers as well. Not acting like a douchebag in this kind of environment can go a long way. This is only the second club I have scouted but so far it's on top and I will surely return on my own as well.

Player’s Okay Evening Visit
They had fourteen dancers (three borderline 8’s, mostly 7’s, and a few 6’s with a 33/66 ebony to ivory mix) and about thirty customers when we arrived. Most of the talent appeared to be in their 20’s. Also, I noticed only two overweight dancers. Familiar peelers were Brandi, Katelyn, Natasha, and Whisper. Detailed below are the dancers that I tipped and chatted with. Anna – 20 yr, Caucasian, blonde, natural C-cup tits, 5’3” and about 125 lbs, no tats, a 7.25 appearance rating. Supposedly it wasn’t the right time for her to perform the type of dances that I wanted. Bailey – 20 yr, Caucasian, dark hair, wears glasses, small B-cup tits, 5’1” and about 100 lbs, various tats, a 7.5 appearance rating. Her 200 dance price was too steep for my budget. Natasha – 22 yr, Caucasian, black hair, perky B-cup tits, 5’6” and about 120 lbs, a 7.75 appearance rating. We settled on 130 for a full dance routine in the VIP room. Overall, Natasha is a good-looking girl that provided an okay/somewhat rushed experience. My friend enjoyed VIP time with an early 20’s African American dancer named Brandi for a 100. I’m not a big fan of the VIP booths using rows of beads instead of curtains for privacy. However, the club had enough cute talent to justify another night visit within the next few months. Additional club observations: average level of cigarette smoke for a Detroit area club, music annoyingly overloud, and it was primarily a younger/rowdier crowd of customers. My other costs were: $4 for a domestic beer, $7 for valet, and I tipped the VIP bouncer $5. I arrived before 9 PM to elude the $10 cover charge and the beer price increasing from $4 to $7.
