Detroit Rock City

The Motor City has its share of attractions, but nothing lights up the night like the new Penthouse Club.

The opening of the newest Penthouse Club was one of the biggest, brightest, and most exciting ever. The entertainment included the club’s sultry Key Girls, plus Penthouse Pets Erica Elly son, Justine Joli, Heather Vandeven, Krista Ayne, and Cali Taylor, who won our 2007 Key Girl contest. “There’s a lot to do and a lot to see,” Erica said. “It’s almost sensory overload, but I love it.”

“It’s like Vegas in the Midwest with that Detroit Rock City edge,” Cali added. “As a dancer, I can tell you this will be a really fun place to work. But it’s even more fun to be a VIP guest.”

The billboard of Heather set the stage for the club’s oversize show. Patrons sank into plush booths and chairs to enjoy performances they’ll remember forever. The most unique feature? Two stunning, custom made motorcycles from Stevenson’s Cycles in Wayne, Michigan. The choppers rise two stories and rotate 360 degrees, allowing the dancers to show off their Motor City–worthy moves. At the opening, our Pets donned some sexy motorcycle gear from Azzure Clothes and broke in the bikes. But once the Key Girls climbed atop, even the sexiest gear was too much clothing.

The multilevel stage also has a gigantic martini glass for two where Key Girls can be seen getting intimate. Even our Pets got in the act: Erica cozied up to Justine, while Cali took on Heather. Erica even picked the music for her pas dedeux with Justine. “My favorite songs to dance to at the Penthouse Clubs are Buckcherry’s ‘Crazy Bitch’ and Def Leppard’s ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me,’ ” said Erica. “When the deejay played them, I went into full wild-girl mode.”

As amazing as the show gets, it’s not the sole attraction. The restaurant features the best steaks and seafood Detroit has to of fer. The manage ment at Penthouse Club Detroit couldn’t be happier. “The opening went beyond our expec tations,” said General Manager Matt Killgore. “We are so excited about this partnership, and we look forward to seeing what our future holds.” We’ll be back to check things out.
