At the repeated recommendation of a friend I finally came to check out the Double Down. This is not the strip, it's not even downtown...it's about a notch below seedy dive bar status and it is awesome.
Weekdays noon-5pm drinks are $2. You can drink your ass off for less than $10 while Midwestern tourist are sipping foot long margaritas made from inferior cheap tequila on the strip that cost twice that!
These drinks are good though, really good. The bloody bacon martini is fantastic. It sounds unappealing but try the ass juice. No one knows what's in it but it doesn't matter anyways.
