Nothing says Spring Break like a Mexican-style party, and Tacos & Tequila (T&T) inside Luxor knows how to fiesta. Throughout the month of March, T&T will feature its legendary “Cock-A-Doodle Duel,” along with spring specials that will make Spring Breakers of any age want to shake their maracas.

T&T will introduce “Seis y Seis” (that’s “Six and Six” for you gringos) for Spring Break revelers who wish to partake in two Mexican party favorites – tacos and beer. “Seis y Seis” includes six specialty tacos (a choice of chicken, steak or carnitas) and a bucket of six Sol Cuartitos seven-ounce beers for just $29, so guests can take an appetizing detour from the Strip without losing their buzz.

And for the Spring Breakers that want to get really wild, T&T will host ongoing live human rooster fighting competitions. “Cock-A-Doodle Duel,” is an action-packed event involving two contestants dressed as roosters with balloons tied to their ankles, in an attempt to take out their opponent by popping their balloons. The winner will take home a $25 bar tab.

Tacos and Tequila embodies the cool modernism of the new Mexico City, while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and high-end Las Vegas panache. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark woods, fanciful leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons. Lighted from within, this breathtaking covering stretches the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.

The highly-stylized Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, high-energy vibe and flavorful menu, is located inside the Luxor Las Vegas Hotel & Casino and open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The 8,000-square-foot venue embodies Mexican culture intermixed with rock-n-roll flair with a flavorful menu created for Drive This Entertainment! by the talents of world-renowned restaurateur and chef Richard Sandoval. For more information contact T&T at 702.262.5225

The best recipes will be determined and selected by the restaurant executive staff and will be served on National Margarita Day at the winner’s location. To become a fan on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Margaritaville.

Throughout the day, each location will also be offering distinctive Margarita specials, in addition to providing any patrons who are celebrating a 2/22 birthday with a $22.20 gift certificate to use during their visit. Individuals that are celebrating a 2/22/1922 birthday will receive complimentary food and beverage throughout the entire day!
