There is a sound track at this site
Des Moines (French for 'City of monks') (pronounced [dɪˈmɔɪn] in English, [demwan] in French Image:ltspkr.pnglisten) is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Iowa. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines, until it was shortened to "Des Moines" in 1857.[1] It is also the county seat of Polk County

We pronounce it "de moin" de mowing with no break in syllables between the w and ing.
The 1st link has an audible link to hear the word said.

I think it depends on where you are from but on the west coast pretty much it is pronounced da moin (rhymes with coin)
