Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. Sometimes you just want to skip the glitz and glamour and find a bar to hang out and play drinking games with your friends. Beer Pong originated as just a game of Ping Pong where the players tried to hit the ball into a cup of beer. Over the years, it has evolved into a game with two triangle formations of cups, a ping pong ball and one of college students’ favorite pastimes. Here are a few places around the valley with beer pong tables and great bar ambiance. When you become a beer pong expert, enter the World Series of Beer Pong that takes place every year in Las Vegas.

For those who love drinking games with their mini golf games, Swingers offers beer pong tables and also hosts the occasional flip cup tournament.

Dino’s has been the locals’ dive bar of choice since 1962. Located in downtown Las Vegas, the lounge is best known its “Drunk of the Month” contest and for the on-stage karaoke on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Regulars like it for the cheap drinks––pitchers for your beer pong game will only set you back $10, which is quite a steal in a tourist destination like Vegas. Dino’s is pretty quiet until the karaoke starts around 10 p.m., so if you want like your beer pong games a bit more low key, get here a little early.
