I booked through hotels.ca which had no increase in the price for additional guests (ie. 2 guests or 4 guests), so I just put four... I think the doubletree site had $10 each extra guest ontop of the initial 2. |
There are times that the hotels.com price only includes 2 guests. If upon arrival you have more - the hotel may charge you a surcharge. |

What's it like crossing the border to get to your hotel?
I have some free hotel rooms right across at Caesar's windsor I'd like to use up. Is it a simple/speedy process to cross? Can you walk across? ... drunk?

You can't walk.
I cross the border on a daily basis, at all different times of the day. I go to school in Michigan. And I can tell you right now, is that it is 100% unpredictable.
There are plenty of ppl who live in Windsor or get hotels in Windsor and cross over for DEMF and come back in the evening. It won't be a problem. On average I'd say it'd take 15-30 minutes. But you never know sometimes it's quicker, other times it's a lot longer. |

Can take up to an hour to get across, depends on the bus and traffic. Earlier or later you can encounter more of a wait for the tunnel bus since everyone is trying to get across. Depends too on wether or not there is a game/concert those nights too, it could take longer than expected. The part that I don't like is making the trip back at night, waiting for the tunnel bus, sure it doesn't leave you stranded, but it takes forever.
I've gotten across in less than 15mins before, other times it's been over an hour!
And if you want to afterparty in the D, better arrange a ride back home to Windsor.
That is why a bunch of us from Windsor get hotel rooms in Detroit... much less hassle, drunk (or whatever :p)
If you got the free rooms, maybe use it for the Friday and Monday night to just unwind and relax...

I wonder if I call ahead a couple days, they might allow 3 or 4 rooms to be in the same hallway. Attached even...for at least 2 rooms. There is 4 rooms of us from Windsor, probably more soon... |

There will be multiple after parties each night. People will be giving out flyers all over the place.
They'll likely go no later than 2ish. Detroit is very strict on their enforcement of how late bars can stay open. |

Not completely true. Most of the after parties I've attended have gone until 4 am, one of which still served alcohol until then :eek: They probably bend the rules a bit during that weekend, because said place had cops outside of it. |

Hmmm interesting. Didn't know that. It's definitely often cops that shut the places down at 2am. So you're probably right. |

RE: Afterparties....
Bar/Club afterparties... depending where, yeah, most are done at 2am, those are the "commerical" afterparties.
Some venues wills top serving at 2, clear everything by 2:30 (quite forcefully too) and go till 4am or so like Cribby said.
Depending on the venue and where it's located (how deep in the hood and who owns/runs it), they may serve past 2am because they simply don't give a , or rather, the people who should enforce it, don't give a *** note, probably should stay away from these ones unless you go with someone who knows the place, area and peope ***
Other afterparties run from midnight till noon the next day as DEMF re-opens...
Like any afterparty scene, there is the money making afterparties, the advertised afterparties, the sketchy afterparties, the underground afterparties, the "what, there is no party" afterparties, and so forth...
I would recomend tho that you choose your after parties wisely, safely and carefully... You want to afterparty, but you need to save energy for the next day too! You can after party the whole year, but DEMF is only 3 days long!!! It catches up to you, quick! :nervous: :eyespop: |
