Double Down Saloon Review
If you get to craving that dirty Vegas feeling, look no further than the Double Down Saloon. Just step into this smoke-filled dive bar, take in the gothic girls, white-collar joes, rockabilly mugs, off-duty strippers and honest-to-god celebrities packing the joint to capacity, and you'll know you're in the right place.
Some patrons are hustling pool, some are rocking out to the live punk and surf bands, some are picking out selections on its amazing jukebox, some are trying to maintain their professional drinking quotas -- and with very few exceptions, nearly everyone in the bar is having the time of their life.
The Double Down is not for everyone. If you have puritanical allergies to punk, blue hair, scary bathrooms and bartenders who address you as "baby," you should probably consider one of the flavored-martini lounges on the Strip.
But if your heart is strong and you're ready to warp your world but good, the Double Down awaits. Besides, rumors persist that bar management is entertaining the idea of putting five bowling lanes on the roof. You've got to love a staff that even thinks of stuff like that.
