High design, tequila sommeliers, and class Las Vegas style distinguish the Strip's new Mexican spots.
1. Open since February 2008, the Palazzo’s Dos Caminos is a colorful, Rockwell-designed room for 700. Snakeskin banquettes fill the Sala lounge, which seats 185, while a private dining room seats 70. Chef Scott Lindquist’s menu builds on classic Mexican staples, with an extensive tequila and cocktail menu to match.
2. Michael Frey, a well-known Las Vegas personality and cigar purveyor, teamed up with chef Richard Sandoval to launch Tacos & Tequila, or T&T, which opened in September 2008 at the Luxor. A brushed aluminum ceiling with skeleton cutouts covers the colorful space, the main bar resembles a bullfighting arena, and there’s a freestanding daiquiri bar. The menu embraces traditional and modern Mexican favorites.
