“A great place to grab a bite, relax with a drink, and watch a game in a peaceful tropical environment.”

That’s how we described 17˚ South Booze & Bites before its June 2014 grand opening. Three years later, we’re happy to say it is still all those things. Tahiti Village’s stylish bar and bistro is going stronger than ever, and we are delighted by the great response it has received in the ensuing thirty-six months.

Although the original menu has changed since the grand opening, it still offers an array of mouthwatering appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and main courses. We hope you’ll forgive us for all the delicious decisions.

Likewise, our draft beer selection is still flush with tasty selections and flows like liquid gold from more than 20 tap handles. The 17˚ South Honey Brown Lager in particular draws many rave reviews.

Evoking a tropical theme without tiki motif, the open and airy 10,000-square foot space has indoor seating for 64 and outdoor seating for 48, a bank of 10 flat-screen televisions that display crystal clear color images on enviable widescreens both indoors and out, and – since we are in Las Vegas – a row of gaming machines inviting you to try your luck.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has helped make our first three years a great success. We look forward to many more and invite you to join us from 6-8 p.m. June 14-17 for complimentary appetizers and great drink specials!

Mother’s Day in Las Vegas

Celebrate the special woman in your life by creating a Vegas-inspired itinerary that focuses on all things mom-inspired.

Whether you’re a local Las Vegas resident or you’re planning on traveling to Las Vegas this coming Mother’s Day weekend, you can add a little excitement, luxury, and laughter to your celebration by taking your mom out for a full day of fun!

Start the Day with Brunch

Vegas is known for its award-winning restaurants and fine dining spots. This city will pull out all the stops in celebration of mothers everywhere, so make sure you reserve a table because restaurants will be abuzz with activity and Mother’s Day restaurant specials will be in full swing.

The Country Club at the Wynn Las Vegas is a treat for any occasion, but their Mother’s Day brunch is simply amazing. Enjoy an American Steakhouse with an imaginative cuisine overlooking the 18th hole on the verdant Wynn Golf Course. Whether your mom is looking to indulge in a steak cooked to perfection or dive into an amazing seafood spread, you will find it all at this upscale golf club created by Steve Wynn himself.

Hank’s Fine Steaks & Martinis in Henderson is the perfect location to take your special guest. This popular local fine dining establishment offers a terrific brunch and an incredible dinner menu that was recently honored with the AAA Four Diamond Award! At Hank’s, only the finest cuts of meat are served along with one of the best premium dining experiences in Henderson, NV. Enjoy a modern yet mid-century décor with your mom for the best Mother’s Day experience to date.

Honey Salt is another go-to brunch spot in Las Vegas (rated #1 on Yelp), and their fresh American offerings and delectable desserts are the perfect treat for mom.  Experience a farm-to-table meal in an atmosphere that thrives on family, friends, and community. This earthy and modern destination in the desert is perfect for an unforgettable brunch to celebrate all things mom.

Standard & Pour in Anthem offers a stunning brunch menu and a variety of breakfast and tapas/small plate offerings. The goal here is to offer locals and guests in Las Vegas a dining experience that is not a chain, tavern, casino, or a pub, but instead an elegant and unique destination. You’ll find this restaurant on South Eastern Avenue in Henderson, so take your mom out on the town to this one of a kind restaurant, loved by all!

17° South Booze & Bites located at Tahiti Village has a wide assortment of island-inspired dishes and specialty cocktails in an open dining area for an ideal afternoon of relaxation. Treat your mom to one of the best, with cocktails, draft beer options, and an amazing variety of food! 17° South Booze & Bites knows what they’re doing when it comes to special occasions.

Add in a Fun Activity

Think mom might be up for an adventure? Vegas is known for its activities, attractions, and entertainment; there’s really no limit to what you can plan.

The High Roller: Vegas’ landmark Ferris wheel stretches a full 550-feet up into the desert sky and offers unparalleled views of the Strip, Downtown Vegas, and the surrounding areas. Better yet, mothers ride free this coming Mother’s Day, and even get a glass of champagne and a complimentary 4 x 6 photo to commemorate the event.

Indoor Skydiving: Head over to Vegas Indoor Skydiving and feel the rush of a simulated free fall – all in the total safety of Las Vegas’ leading indoor skydiving facility. A 1,000-horsepower fan motor delivers all the thrust you need to send mom flying safely through the air and leaving her feeling like Superwoman for a truly epic adventure.

Neon Museum: Take mom on a visual trip through history and view all the old signage Las Vegas is known for. They offer both day and night tours through the “boneyard,” but it’s best to book in advance as they quickly sell out.

End the Day with Relaxation

A Pool/Spa Retreat: You don’t have to board a plane to spend time in the tropics. In fact, by reserving a suite at the islands-themed Tahiti Village Resort & Spa, you’ll treat her to a Tahitian getaway that includes luxurious suites, incredible pools, a lazy river, a spa, fitness center, and more. It’s a way to let her retreat to a personal oasis from the outside world.

Visit a Local Museum: There are so many to choose from – so pick one or two and leisurely stroll this Mother’s Day. From the Pinball Museum Hall of Fame to the Mob Museum to the numerous art museums located in Downtown Las Vegas in the Arts District, you can custom tailor your excursion to her unique tastes.

Mother’s Day in Las Vegas can be anything you desire. From a laid-back weekend at the pool to an exhilarating ride on one of the city’s most thrilling feats of engineering, you’ll find that there is no shortage of fun things to do in Sin City.

Drag racer Terry McMillen set to make his first 2017 visit to Tahiti Village. This time get twice the Terry!

When the NHRA Nationals pays its biannual visit to Las Vegas, you can count on Terry McMillen doing two things: 1) Sending his 8,000-horsepower dragster down the track at more than 300 miles per hour and 2) staying here at Tahiti Village when he’s through.

As the official resort of Terry and his crew, we’ll be hosting a meet and greet with the top fuel drag racer from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, ahead of his appearance at the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Terry will be chatting with fans, signing autographs and posing for photos next to his Amalie Oil dragster from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. beneath the porte cochere. You may even have the opportunity to sit in the cockpit! Terry’s team will unload the dragster at approximately 10 a.m. Refreshments and popcorn will be provided.

If you can’t get enough Terry in the morning, he’ll be making an encore appearance that night during our weekly owners’ night event from 6-8 p.m. at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, our onsite bar and bistro.

For more information on Terry, please visit www.terrymcmillen.com. For more information on the race, please go to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway website at www.lvms.com or www.nhra.com, the National Hot Rod Association’s site.

Enjoy great food and drink specials during March Madness and over St. Paddy’s Day weekend at 17˚ South Booze & Bites!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

The arrival of March brings with it two special events, March Madness and St. Patrick’s Day, a party-inducing pair that leads us out of the winter doldrums into the promise of spring.

Here at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, we’re celebrating the season with great food and drink specials over St. Patrick’s Day weekend and throughout the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

During March Madness you’ll enjoy $3, $4 and $5 draft beer selections and $6 food specials during all the basketball games. Over the St. Paddy’s Day weekend beginning Friday, March 17, we’re getting our Irish up with $5 Guinness drafts and $6 shots of Jameson!

Join us for all the March fun at 17˚ South, onsite at Tahiti Village!

Mouthwatering selections await you on the new 17˚ South Booze & Bites menu!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

If you’re one of those people who respond like Pavlov’s dog to the inclusion of “housemade beer cheese sauce” and “smoked burnt rib ends” on a menu, you’re going to love the new selections at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, the stylish onsite bar and bistro at Tahiti Village.

As we prepare for our third anniversary this summer, we’ve updated our menu ahead of the big birthday celebration with enticing appetizers, satisfying burgers and sandwiches, and entrees that are sure to sound the dinner bell.

Wringing every ounce of inspiration from his years of crafting delectable culinary concoctions, our executive chef created an array of familiar favorites spiced with delicious twists.

Take our calamari. In its usual state of deep fried rings and still-attached tentacles, it is an appetizer staple on menus all over the country. Meh, right? But at 17˚ South, we zing your expectations with a kung pao kick!

Mac and cheese? Who doesn’t like mac and cheese? Except we do it dirty, with those aforementioned smoked burnt rib ends commingling delicious char with all that heavenly cheese.

And speaking of heavenly cheese, we can’t wait for you to try our wagyu sloppy joe nachos with – we repeat it here because we can’t say it enough – housemade beer cheese sauce! An extra tortilla chip for telling us what wagyu is without  a Google assist.

If all that goodness comes with too much guilt, you’ll be happy to know we have three salads to choose from: chopped, Caesar and mixed green.

If you can’t exist on lettuce alone, “let us” recommend a 17˚ South burger with smoked bacon and “fancy sauce.” Or a barbecue pork sandwich with Saigon-style pork. Or a sirloin steak sandwich with provolone cheese and horsey cream. Or a stack of specialty pizzas. Or a lineup of mouthwatering entrees that will have you coming back every night of your visit.

We look forward to satisfying all your culinary cravings!

Know how you can tell things are heating up in Vegas? We’ve opened our poolside tiki bars for the summer!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  ReservationsPosted on

With Las Vegas temperatures creeping into the 70s this week and visitors beginning to flock to our aquatic attractions like competitive eaters to an endless buffet, we thought, `Ah, what the heck. Let’s open the poolside tiki bars for the summer. In March!’

So that’s what we’ve done, opened the Sand Box in the main pool area and the bar inside the lazy river, appropriately called the Lazy River Bar. As usual, they contain a tempting selection of beer, wine, and tropical drink type thingies for you to enjoy while you’re relaxing in the sunshine and contemplating your next move.

And speaking of your next move – will it be a relaxing trip down the Lazy River? A soothing soak in the adult hot tub? Or what about another cold one as you soak in the rays and enjoy the lush scenery around our tropical beach pool? You have a lot of choices at Tahiti Village, and we invite you to try them all as get ready for another wonderful summer season!

We hope to see you here!

What Does Your Cocktail Say About You

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Events and Activities,  Las Vegas ActivitiesPosted on

Whether you’re headed out to a bar or plan on mixing up a few of your favorite cocktails in your resort room, what does your favorite drink say about you?

You have two drink options in front of you – a glass of 2005 Chateau Montrose or a six-pack of IPA – which do you choose? Some of us would jump at the chance to sample a $170 bottle of wine, while others can’t resist the hoppy indulgence of a good quality pale ale. Your drink of choice says something about you; kind of like a drinker’s horoscope. Find out which category fits you best.

The Rebel:

If you like to order off-the-beaten-path alcohols like absinthe, you may live by the motto, “It’s better to be a liver than to have one!” This drink of choice is for rebellious, edgy individuals, who aren’t concerned about the lack of feeling in their legs, as long as they’re having a good time. They often have a tight group of friends, so someone is usually available to drive them home.

The College Kid:

Are shots of Fireball a regular part of your weekend activity? When it comes to alcohol, you’ll take it cheap and fast. If you only head to the convenience store when you need to stock up on grain alcohol and carbonated mixers, you might fall into this drinking group.

The Throwback:

You loved the 90s and continue to drink the cocktails of the era by ordering a Cosmopolitan or Daiquiri whenever you go out. If you drank it in college and still like to order it now, your drink of choice might be a Lemon Drop martini or a vodka cranberry because a classic never dies.

The Achiever:

Campari & soda is a mixed drink that says: “I am in control of my career, my life, and my destiny.” It is light in terms of alcohol content, so you’ll be ready to network with other like-minded individuals at any time. You’re a winner, so drink like it!

The Tough Guy:

If you drink Jager Bombs, Irish Car Bombs, or any other drink with the word “bomb” in it, you may be in the tough guy crew. They can throw drinks back better than anyone and sipping is not part of the verbiage used for a night out drinking for them.

The Grown-Up:

If you’ve moved beyond the Jack and Coke crowd, but still haven’t entered full-on Hennessey mode, you’re probably a fan of Manhattans. Late 20s to early 30s drinkers are often fond of the Manhattan, as it is a mature drink, but still rewards you with the ultimate prize after the drink is gone – a cherry at the bottom!

The Perennial Partier:

Margaritas fit this group like a glove. Whatever the occasion, margaritas are always a popular drink of choice among those always up for a good time. Margaritas are the ultimate party drink and blended is higher on the fun scale than on the rocks.

The Hipster:

This group of ironic, mustached individuals love to drink moonshine. Why? Possibly because it represents a less-corporate approach to drinking. It is also ironic because it represents a drink that people in the country make in a bathtub out of necessity, while “city” moonshine is generally brewed in a several thousand-dollar setup.

Regardless of the type of cocktail you prefer, remember your favorite drink of choice can be mixed up right in your own resort suite kitchen when you stay at Tahiti Village. Don’t worry too much about whether you’re a “Grown-up” “Tough Guy” or “Achiever,” you can simply sit back and enjoy your surroundings 365 days a year at our incredible Las Vegas retreat.

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Special EventsPosted on
