Skinny Margarita "newest" concoction for steamy Latin Night!!



Rhumbar Introduces its 100-Calorie “Skinny” Margarita

Enjoy the “Muchachita” Without the Guilt
The newest drink to hit the menu at Havanatone, RHUMBAR’s sizzling Latin night, also comes without any guilt. The new “Muchachita” is a skinny, 100-calorie margarita, featuring a delicious blend of pomegranate and Aloe Vera. Now guests can samba and shake while they sip this low calorie libation on Wednesday nights.

Concocted by award-winning mixologist Kristen Schaefer, the “Muchachita” blends the fresh taste of Aloe Vera with fruity flavors of pomegranate and lime.  Milagro Silver tequila completes this delicious and healthy cocktail.

“We wanted to create a cocktail that embraced the high-energy vibe of Havanatone,” said Schaefer. “Not only is the ‘Muchachita’ delicious, added nutrients from the Aloe Vera and pomegranate juices help to promote good health. So now guests can skip the gym and enjoy a night of Latin dancing and margaritas - and still feel healthy about it.”

The Muchachita:
2 ounces El Sol Pomegranate Aloe Vera Juice
¾ ounces fresh lime juice
1-½ ounces of Milagro Silver tequila.
Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain. Served with a lime wheel.

Havanatone, Vegas’ only Latin night under the stars, transforms RHUMBAR’s patio into the sexiest dance floor on the Strip every Wednesday night. Talented dancers from Rumba Rica will salsa and cha cha to live music and Latin beats by DJ Gerard Fortuna. The spicy night begins at 9 p.m. with a complimentary dance instruction for revelers that want to partake in the Latin fervor. As the night heats up, “Havanatone” will thrill audiences with fiery numbers and heart-pounding performances choreographed to the eruption of the iconic Mirage volcano.

RHUMBAR is a highly-stylized cocktail and cigar lounge inspired by the cool mood of the Caribbean. The plush outdoor patio is reminiscent of a tropical retreat offering a picturesque location for guests to mingle, sip cocktails and smoke cigars. Located near the main entrance of The Mirage, RHUMBAR is owned and operated by Drive This! Entertainment. The lounge and patio are open from 11 a.m. until midnight Sunday through Wednesday, and 11 a.m. until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information visit www.

Dinner and a Show at Mandalay Bay – Delicious and Family Friendly!! RM & LION KING!






Fine food and entertainment were enjoyed by I Love Las Vegas Magazine…BLOG staffers at Rick Moonen’s RM Seafood. Afterwards a viewing of the Disney's The Lion King was on the agenda!

Rick Moonen’s RM's menu and decor are impeccable, as is RM Manager Aaron Whitten's polished and friendly staff. Dishes covered a gamut of inspired fusion ranging from a Marinated California Octopus served with sweet peppers, black tomato drizzle, and homemade falafel, to a delicious Rabbit Trio interpolated with morel risotto, crispy rillette, and fried quail egg. Buttery meats impeccably presented are a hallmark of Rick Moonen’s RM Upstairs' upscale environ, also featuring subdued ultra lounge music and blue and wood themes in the decor that put one in mind of a worthy meal aboard a luxury liner. RM's menus offered a several-course option on one side, with a la carte options on the reverse, allowing customization from a quick bite to a decadent and sumptuous repast. The wine list is quite extensive and a diverse selection is available and accompanies each course perfectly.  Fine Champagne and dessert wines are also well represented.

Finishing up dinner is a unique experience of a deliciously inspired tea. It is the center piece and the flavors mix as you dine and then it is cooled instantly with liquid nitrogen and then served. Check out the picture. A cool sipping experience with a hint of mint cleanses the palate perfectly!

Desserts served include the Chocolate Car Bomb and should not be missed! The unusual and creative notes of Guinness’s Ice Cream, Bailey’s Irish Crème and Bear suds put this dish as a lock for one of the  most inspired and memorable dessert of this year. 

"Disney's The Lion King" offers a virtuosic blend of music, dance, and topnotch staging and technical brilliance that is not to be missed. The cast's energetic and humorous performance shines with admirable backing by a note-perfect orchestral ensemble complemented by dual side-stage percussionists fluent in such exotic instruments as djembes, berimbaus, and huge Kodo drums. The fourth wall shattered as performers danced and sang through the rows, belting out familiar and energetic tunes, culminating in a standing ovation that was richly deserved by all. The complexity and hard work put into this performance is apparent and so ubiquitous that trying to select a favorite moment in the aftermath of the show begged the question, "Which one?" The Lion King is an experience not to be missed, and is surely one of the most enjoyable family shows on the Strip. 

Thanks to our gracious hosts for laughs, a toe-tapping great performance, and an unforgettable dining experience.
