Tacos and Tequila Review

Las Vegas has an endless supply of nightlife opportunities, making finding a party after 10 p.m. as easy as finding water in the ocean.

What's not as easy is finding a party atmosphere during the evening hours.

Many people take advantage of this time to grab a bite to eat or to catch up on sleep.

Sleep, though, may have to come a little later.

Tacos and Tequila brings the fiesta atmosphere of a modern cantina along with DJ-spun tunes to get the party pumping early. The sophisticated vibe at T&T is hardly a frat-style party, though.

The ambiance of the 8,000-square-foot cantina highlights the clashing of styles between traditional Mexican flair and the rock 'n' roll stylings of today. An abstract sombrero, made up of 20 aluminum panels with thousands of laser-cut, backlight images, is the focal point of the restaurant and bar. 

The specialty cocktail menu reads like a modern cuisine cookbook, with classic margaritas made with house-made margarita mix and organic agave nectar and the spicy Pineapple Chipotle, made with fresh lime, pineapple juice, pineapple chipotle syrup and splash of Tabasco. 

Ladies looking to unleash their inner cougar will want to grab the Cougarita, T&T's take on a wild margarita made with fresh lime juice, muddled blueberries and strawberries, Jose Cuervo, Gran Marnier and an ancho chile rim..

T&T also features some of the same resident DJs spinning the beats you'll find later in the night at major clubs, but with a sexier twist. DJ Mika Gold and DJ Soxxi are two of the most beautiful DJs Las Vegas has to offer and are often found at Tao and Lavo among other area hotspots. But the two can be seen spinning at T&T on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.

The other convenient thing about T&T is its proximity to the Atrium Showroom, the home of shows like Carrot Top, Menopause the Musical and Fantasy. So no matter how many tequila shots you take at T&T, the only thing you have to remember is to take a right-hand turn to ensure you won't miss your show.

Partying at dinnertime has never been easier.
