One Night in Detroit?

Travel Info
Hi everyone,

I'm going to be spending one night in Detroit on Saturday 1/27. I have no purpose in going to Detroit other than an insane frequent flier promotion with the airline I usually fly. I have not selected a hotel yet but am thinking about the Marriott at the Renaissance Center. Looking for ideas of things to do that Saturday night.

Looking for a rock and roll, rockabilly or punk type band, and will consider the casinos too. Local bands are great and I always like checking out new indie acts but I do not usually enjoy rap or hip-hop or trance.

Not interested in museums or anything for this trip.

Any recommendations for entertainment that night, or would you recommend a different hotel? I am not made of money but I am able to pay for a 4-star hotel.

Thanks in advance!

Travel Tips

For the music scene in the Detroit area, check out the Metro Times web site. The music scene may dictate where you want to stay.

I would also check out the suburbs of Royal Oak and Birmingham. Good shopping, nightlife and a lot of options for bars, restaurants, clubs, etc (much safer too).
