New to Us: DB’s Pong & Pool at The Miracle Mile Shops
From what we can tell, DB’s Pong & Pool at The Miracle Mile Shops has been open for a couple of months now, and this blog happens to think it may be one of the best-kept secrets on The Strip.
DB's kind of flew under the radar. Or maybe we just don't get out enough.
DB’s, which stands for Dirty Blondie’s, like its sister establishment in The Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood, the wildly successful Blondies Sports Bar & Grill, offers up a sports bar atmosphere and tons of diversions in the form of all the games you’d have in your den if you had the cash, and if you had, you know, a den.
We're just getting started.
DB’s has a couple of bars, one on each of its two expansive levels, although there may be more. The joint is so large (20,000-square-feet, in the space formerly occupied by Asia Nightclub), you kind of lose track.
The folks from the original Blondie’s have decked the joint out with every game you can imagine, from table tennis and pool to beer pong and tabletop shuffleboard. Darts. Foosball. A golf simulator. Let’s just say there are a lot.
Bonus: Some of the games glow in the dark.
If anyone’s lamenting a lack of beer pong spots on The Strip, DB’s could be a home away from home, with beer pong tournaments Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. with cash prizes.
A little bit of something for everyone. Except people who don't like fun. And if you're one of those people, what are you doing in Las Vegas in the first place?
DB’s has big, open areas, with the potential for performances by live bands, but also has some smaller rooms, perfect for gatherings of small groups.
Perhaps the grandest beer pong spot in Vegas.
While getting to venues in The Miracle Mile Shops can be a challenge sometimes, there’s valet parking just a few feet away from DB’s entrance off of Harmon Avenue. The manager said 28 steps, but we didn’t independently verify this, so it could be 30.
We'll hang here.
This new nightlife offering serves up a solid menu of bar food, with appetizers like wings, poppers, pretzels, nachos and the like, along with salads, paninis, build-your-own burgers and a variety of pizza.
The prices are reasonable, and there’s a pizza special that includes a 12-inch pie with a pint of draft beer for $9.99.
No, we didn't take photos of the food, but we did take a photo of these things.
DB’s has a great vibe, and is a welcoming, laid-back hang-out to meet up with friends to watch some sports, take advantage of the plentiful drink specials and trash-talk your buddies during a bout of beer pong.
You'll want to get some buds so you and your buds can chillax here. If people still chillax, of course. Who can keep up?
