[QUOTE=Misterbation;3769984]I've been considering the idea of going over to Windsor to see what their clubs are like. Anybody here familiar with them? Is it worth the trip? Should I get my money exchanged or do they like our dollars? Any info is appreciated.[/QUOTE]Never been to Windsor clubs, but if you are going to go I would exchange your money, $233 US is $300 Canadian right now. Other cities I have been to in Canada are about the same prices in Canadian dollars as in US dollars, I. E. If it's $20 US / dance here, it will be $20 CDN / dance in a similar Canadian club.

Best if you choose your own bank, assuming you bank at a large chain; sometimes the smaller banks don't have enough foreign currency on hand.
A couple decades ago, when the exchange was 40%, I made the inexcusable mistake of not bringing enough Canadian currency to Studio 4 to see some exotic big-boobed porn star was appearing; her assistant gladly took my American currency without giving me change back for the difference in exchange rate.
Don't make my mistake -- do not pay with American currency in Canada. And do not exchange your dollars in the club, or in local stores, either. Allegedly, when paying with a credit card, the financial entity that owns your card will look for the best rate available during the 30-day billing cycle in which you incurred the charge, but don't rely on that. Use your Canadian currency at the time of transaction.

We are sitting on a gold mine right here compared to just about all of north america. Windsor is the exact opposite. Horrible in every way (air dances, expensive, etc.).

It's obviously meant to screen for vice and be able to alert mgmt of a raid.

Ok
I reached out to my guy to see if he would be willing to sponsor a locked door party for our group. I'll let you all know what's going on when I get the details.

Or I guess East in this case.

The local bars took Canadian money at par (to encourage Canadians working in Detroit to have a drink after work). There was an American Express office in the Ren Cen, so I would buy Canadian money at a 10-15% discount for bar money. After a few weeks I couldn't convince my bar tender I was American!
