Unique Massive at Double Down Saloon

Known the world over as the Happiest Place On Earth, the Double Down Saloon has been bringing a much needed sophistication to Las Vegas since 1992. Interplanetary abstract. Urban decay. The anti-Vegas. Double Down is indeed a clubhouse for the lunatic fringe.

LIVE MUSIC • POOL • PINBALL

Always expect the unexpected as vivid chaotic murals cover every inch of walls and ceiling while disturbing videos come at you from all directions.

HOME OF THE FABLED ASS JUICE

BIRTHPLACE OF THE ORIGINAL BACON MARTINI

Want to know more? Don’t bust our balls. All you need to know is that we are at 4640 Paradise Road, one block south of the Hard Rock Hotel.

Every Tuesday night at midnight, Unique Massive puts on a performance filled with creative freestyle music formations that come from both heart and soul.
