What night? Where at? What are you into?

Casinos, clubs, music, food...

Go to Flight Club.

Sleep at night. get up and enjoy your day fully refreshed.

I'm just going to list stuff in random fashion. At the risk of sounding like the chamber of commerce, you can, depending on when you're here and what you like:
-go to a hockey game
-go to a baseball game
-go to a football game
-go to a casino
-go see a broadway play
-go see the opera or symphony
-take the elevator up to the top of Ren Cen and take in the view
-while in the Ren Cen, go sit in all the GM cars with no salesperson there to harrass you
-take the legendary Rouge factory tour (technically not within city limits)
-walk the Riverwalk
-go to a brewpub (there are several in town)
-ice skate or hang out at Campus Martius
-take in live jazz or blues or go to a techno house
-go make some Pewabic pottery
-eat a Coney dog
-go to Greektown
-check out the downtown architecture
-take in the 2-mile 50 cent tour on the Peoplemover
-ride the Detroit Princess riverboat
-check out the Mies van der Rohe architecture in Lafayette park
-check out the fine art at the newly refurbished Detroit Institute of Arts
-go to the African American history museum
-go to the Henry Ford museum (again, not within city limits)
-take a nap in your hotel room

hide from beggers.

Go to Greektown. You will be safe, eat great food and can do the casino if you like, all on foot. There is a very nice hotel there...the Athenium.
