| - Stumbled on Mr. Ds 'Sports bar' on a trip to Vegas over Labor Day weekend 2011. My original destination (Vamp'd) was closed and this was just down the road - and open - for a road weary traveler just off the plane from Philly. Upon entrance, three things hit me in the face - DDs (ha), smoke and darkness. I was suddenly back in 1995 at the corner tavern in NJ. Anyway, it was somehow refreshing (except the smoke) cause it was such an old school place with gaming machines, throw back furniture, etc. Yes, the waitresses are trashy chicks with pornstar boobs. It didn't bother me. Imagine that. Anything goes in this sorta place. They have a biker event (fortunately not that day) and I can imagine if the walls could talk they wouldn't shut up. Next to the big screen was a pool table occupied by middle aged guys drinking pitchers of beer and swearing up a storm. This was like 3pm in the afternoon.
The menu read - Mr. D's famous for classic clubs. I love clubs and was so hungry I wanted something as soon as possible. The club was outstanding, piled high on a big platter. The service was a little slow but that was because the main bar area is reserved for gaming/drinking, you cannot occupy a seat without playing a machine. Since they want you sitting there forever, the service is going to be better in the main bar. All in all, I left full and satisfied. I actually ran into two ladies from NJ who had just sit down as I was leaving, both had relocated for sunny weather and happier times. Prices were a bit higher than I expected but justified with the amount of food I was given. Not sure I'd want to hang out to watch NFL football at Mr. D's, not much of a 'sports bar' IMO.
