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.

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.

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 Kododrums. 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.

It was a night for new friends and treats! I had the honor of attending and reporting on the first Meet n Greet that I LOVE YOGURT held that brought out Bo & DeeMo and owner Dee Mounts with the King Mugsy Malone to say hello to friends! We had yummy delicious cake batter yogurt with delectable toppings that included Oreos and fresh fruit and crumbled cheesecake. Many other flavors are available. Yes I snuck a few bites here and there!
While the night belonged to the Bully Breeds, there were all types of dogs there! Including me, the “faux” Bully Breed, plus a cuteness personified Chinese crested mix and our pup pal Miss Maggie the Chihuahua! The Good Food Dog Company provided tasty healthy treats for the canines which were greeted with barks and were munched on with much enthusiasm! They provide healthy and delicious food for your canine, food that you would not hesitate to eat yourself!
When asked about what other dog owners would like to see…all dog owners agree that they would like to see more places like I LOVE YOGURT where you can grab a tasty treat and hang out with your canine! The decor there is all 80's! Which my Mom tells me was really fun! So listen up LasVegas! Did you know that in Europe dogs are welcome almost everywhere?
