The Tropical Themed Restaurant In Nevada You Must Visit Before Summer’s Over

Summertime seems to always bring thoughts and desires of relaxing on a tropical island with sun, sand between your toes, the smell of suntan lotion, and a cocktail decorated with a little umbrella. However, in a landlocked state like Nevada, this may be much more dream than reality (nevermind the many Las Vegas resorts and casinos with glorious pools, lazy rivers, and poolside bars for a moment.) For a true taste of the Caribbean this summer—or anytime, really—visit Bahama Breeze. This tropical themed restaurant with a Jamaican-inspired menu can give you the taste of the island summer you may be longing for this summer.

The interior has a decidedly tropical-Caribbean flare.

From the food to the decor to the friendly and attentive service, Bahama Breeze is one restaurant you simply must try!

What would a tropical themed restaurant be without a coconut shrimp appetizer? This one is served with an amazing citrus-mustard sauce.

These jerk chicken wings look amazing. Don't they?

Doesn't this grilled chicken and tropical fruit on mixed greens just make your mouth water?

One popular and delicious menu item is the Taste of Jamaica: a platter of pulled pork, jerk chicken, beef empanada, callaloo, sweet plantains, white rice, and black beans. Amazing!

Every dish has a decidedly tropical look, vibe, and flavor.

Dessert is just as tropical and delicious like this warm chocolate pineapple upside-down cake afloat in a sea of raspberry sauce...

...And this pina colada bread pudding. Wow!

A tropical restaurant must have a tropical bar, right? Among Bahama Breeze's specialties are the Bahama Mama, Zombie, Curly Tail, Coconut Mojito, and Goombay Smash.

For a tropical "punch", try the Jama Can Punch with Myers's Dark Rum, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, pineapple juice, and bitters.

As a complement to a tremendous meal, you can enjoy live music as well: from Reggae to Caribbean tunes to contemporary music, dining at Bahama Breeze is more than simply a meal.

Bahama Breeze is located at 375 Hughes Center in Las Vegas, and they can be reached at (702) 731-3252.

There are other tropical themed restaurants that deserve an honorable mention. Among them, Rainforest Cafe located in the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, Mom and Pop's Diner in Carson City, and pretty much every eatery at the Tropicana Las Vegas, particularly the Beach Cafe.
