Canada!

Want to try something new and fun?  Tired of the same scenery your city's clubs/bars have to offer? Or do you just need a little getaway?  Well, a place to go to just get away from it all is our neighborly country, Canada.  Windsor, Ontario is a mere 20 minutes away from Detroit.  With easy access via the tunnel or the Ambassador Bridge, the only things between you and Canada are legal citizenship status, proper documents and a couple tolls.
Being of age for the nightlife of  Detroit, I personally feel that it gets old very quick.  I see the same things from club to club and I get tired of it all.  Windsor's nightlife is much more fresh and exciting.  Downtown Windsor is full of clubs, bars, and even strip clubs (for male and female).  Going on a weekend, you will find drink specials, no cover bars, minimal to free cover clubs, and even club promoters that will get you in for free.  How can you beat that?  Just like in the States (get hip, that's what the cool people call the United States), things don't start jumping off until around 11 or 12 o'clock.  But the better thing about that is that the clubs don't close until 3am, for all you party animals out there.
You will meet some of the nicest people while you're out partying.  No worrying about too many fights, anyone pulling a gun/knife/etc, or having to fight someone with a friend because a person got mad they accidentally bumped into them.  The locals will more than happily recommend a tasty food joint for you to hit when everything lets out, and possibly even if there's any after parties going on.  And if partying isn't your cup of tea, you can definitely go out to a nice lounge, the Caesar Windsor casino, or just take in the beautiful view that Detroit's skyline has to offer.
There are quite a few hotels in the downtown area, within walking distance of the restaurants, fast food, convenience stores, and all of the clubs.  From the inexpensive, trusty Travelodge to the pricey but lavish Hilton, there is a hotel on the strip that will accommodate you.

3 Tips To Remember:
  1. Take the bridge over.  There's a duty-free (no tax) shop that you can get into if you stay to the right. Unbelievably cheap liqour prices.
  2. Don't Drive Drunk. A) It's irresponsible as hell.  B) Officers do random checks on the road.  C) Police headquarters is only minutes away from the main strip.
  3. If you're from the States, and more specifically Detroit, you own them with your coolness.
