Mas tequila! That's what Sammy Hagar says, so you better take his advice at his Mexican influenced Cabo Wabo Cantina located in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. With a patio facing all the action on the Vegas Strip and ample seating inside, the Cantina is a great place to grab a margarita (or two...or three!).
It was a bit chilly when The Arbz visited, so we chose to sit inside and take in the action of the live cover band (Fridays and Saturdays showcase live bands, while there is karaoke on Sundays. Tequila + Karaoke = good times!). Our waiter was awesome - unfortunately, neither of us can remember his name, but he reminded us of Matthew Lillard, so that's what we decided to call him. Cabo Wabo has a fun, inviting atmosphere - it's casual and comfortable, which is just the way Sammy Hagar would want it. If you prefer to rock out and just chill instead of grab drinks in a sweaty, crowded club, Cabo Wabo is a great option. Now, let's move on to what really matters at Cabo Wabo Cantina - the drinks!
There's a great variety of Cabo Wabo specialty cocktails, including the Waborita and Cactus Pear Margarita. I first tried the Waborita, which is Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila (Sammy's tequila), Cointreau, Grand Marnier and fresh lime juice. It was very tasty, but I have slight allergies to some fruit juices, so the fresh lime juice was not the best addition for me. We also tried the Cactus Pear Margarita (shown below), which was a better fit for me. The mix of Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Fresh Cactus Pear Puree, Monin Desert Pear Syrup and fresh lemon and lime juices made it a super sweet concoction.
Naturally, we got delicious dishes to go with our intense margaritas - the three taco plate for both of us. The menu includes a great variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex inspired dishes that go well with the several specialty cocktails and beers. Don't feel like you're missing out on the fun if you can't stop by Cabo Wabo at night - there is a great Mariachi Brunch on Sundays from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Nothing says Vegas like a brunch that goes past normal lunch hours!
Cabo Wabo is not just a place for adults who want to have a few drinks and rock out. The daytime atmosphere is friendly enough for families to enjoy a meal and watch the sights on the Strip. Though I would recommend leaving the kiddies at home once the night festivities begin. With that much tequila around, there are bound to be quite a few R rated moments! Don't forget, you can always stop by the Cabo Wabo locations in Cabo San Lucas and Lake Tahoe if you're not Vegas bound. Regardless, it's a definite stop for any rock fan!
Cabo Wabo Cantina is located at 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV. 89109
