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).
