Things are slow and cold here...

Things are slow and cold here in Michigan these days. January is never very good and it has been decidedly colder than usual of late which has slowed business all over and certainly at the Ypsilanti Deja Vu. Meanwhile, the neighborhood, as mentioned in previous reviews is NOT an issue. You may get a panhandler later at night, but they are harmless and the large parking lot across the street is safe. Plenty of street traffic for the popular student bar around the corner and lots of cops at the bar's 2am closing time make for safe and secure goings.

Admission is $8.00 during the day, $15 at night, both include a $6 bottomless non-alcoholic drink, (pop,) premium drinks like O'Doull's are more.

The layout, one stage, with a single dancer is the format here, featuring an emphasis on stage dancing and pole tricks. DJs and music vary from OK to annoying, but are easily overlooked. A large open room in front with typical DJV booths in the "Executive" or "VIP" lounge in back for lap dancing. This club now features two "VIP" booths with curtained entrance for long term, discounted ($175 half, $300 hour) dance experiences. These represent $2.50 or $5.00 off the regular per dance price and depending on the girl there may be more touching involved than a regular one off dance. Occassionally, 2 for $30 "Deal of the Century" dances are offered.

There has been some turnover in the girls at this club of late as some of the veterans have moved off (and sometimes out of state) in search of greener pastures, but DJV Ypsi has always sported a large contingent of pretty, younger girls and the current crop is now exception. Average age is probably around 22 these days with several fresh faced and beautiful 18 year olds and since there is no alcohol here, they dance completely nude on stage and for some portion of the lap dances. Lap dances vary from "club policy" hands off to a fairly relaxed "anything but the crotch," though most girls won't give up the breast unless you've bought a few dances or are a regular. Since things are slow, girls are eager to please, so money may talk louder than usual. As they say, Your mileage may vary.

My picks are beauties like MacKenzie, Riley, Briana, Ally and Sugar, though there are plenty of others to choose from.
