Tacos & Tequila Vegas to offer New Year's Eve party

Tacos & Tequila will host the first countdown on the Strip with a New Year’s Eve East Coast countdown on Friday, December 31. Kicking off at 6 p.m., T&T will party like it’s 2011 with drink specials, a three-course tequila pairing menu and the official East Coast countdown at 9 p.m. PST. On January 1, the party will continue with T&T’s festive Mariachi brunch.

Whether in town from the East Coast or trying to squeeze in as much New Year’s fun as possible, T&T at Luxor is the best place to party in the final hours of 2010. T&T’s live Mariachi band and resident DJ Ernan will start the night off with a bang. Featuring a delicious prix fixe chef’s tasting menu with optional tequila pairing, partygoers will count down East Coast-style as the famous ball drops in Times Square, welcoming an early 2011 on the Las Vegas Strip. And for guests who want to ring in the New Year again, T&T invites guests to join in on a complimentary tequila toast at midnight.

On Saturday, January 1, T&T will celebrate the New Year with more mariachi madness. Revelers can nurse their hangovers with T&T’s red-hot Mariachi brunch featuring delicious Mexican specialties, two-for-one margaritas and Bloody Marias available from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. If any of the party patrons end up sleeping Saturday’s hangover away, don’t worry because the Mexican Mariachi brunch is also offered Sunday, January 2, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at T&T.

Tacos & Tequila embodies the cool modernism of Mexico City while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and high-end Las Vegas panache. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark wood, leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons. Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch across the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.

The highly-stylized Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, high-energy vibe and flavorful menu is located at Luxor Hotel and Casino, open daily from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. The 8,000-square-foot venue embodies Mexican culture intermixed with rock-n-roll flair with a flavorful menu created for Drive This Entertainment! by the talents of world-renowned restaurateur and chef, Richard Sandoval.
