Señor Frog’s, Las Vegas

Beachwear is encouraged at Señor Frog’s, but the only swimmers in sight are floating above the bar. Their bikini-clad bottoms poke through the centers of inner tubes, making visitors wonder if the restaurant has taken a dip in the ocean. Luckily, this scene is meant to elicit giggles, just like the brightly colored signs that plaster the tables, walls, and ceiling. These banners call out to diners, enticing them to let loose, order a margarita, and see how crazy a night at Treasure Island can get. On many nights, bands and DJs provide a live soundtrack for the revelry as shot girls circulate with tequila as heady as a Hydra-turned-sommelier.

To fuel the evening’s adventures, Señor Frog’s offers a hearty lineup of Mexican and American eats. Though it’s loaded with flank steak, the signature Mexican platter showcases bite-size eats such as cheese-stuffed jalapeños, mini enchiladas, and mini chicken chimichangas. Burgers and barbecue fill the American side of the menu with a picnic vibe that pairs well with a homestyle dessert such as apple cobbler à la mode.
