Even though Vince Neil’s Tatuado Restaurant & Cantina at LVH suffers from an acute case of “being in a sort of lame hotel,” it’s still worth a drop-by, especially for the party-sized, brightly-colored cocktails.

Our featured panty-dropper cocktail is the Primal Scream Rita, a blend of Tatuado Silver vodka (Vince Neil’s own brand) with pomegranate juice and sweet and sour (regular for $8.95, large for $10.95).

It's a party in a glass.
It’s a backstage pass to Hangoverville. In a good way.

Vince Neil, of course, is the former lead vocalist of heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, a band which German’s describe as “consistently pronouncing its own name wrong, umlautwise.”

The bar. Yes, those are Vince Neil's pants.

The good news for visitors at Vince Neil’s Tatuado Restaurant & Cantina is Mr. Neil knows a thing or two about the value of a dropped panty.

You’ll also want to imbibe in the Blue Coconut Rita.

As the menu says, "Hell, yeah, it's blue!" We are not making this up.

The Blue Coconut Rita has Tatuado vodka, Kahunaville coconut rum, Blue Curacao, orange liqueur, lime juice and sweet and sour (regular for $8.95, large for $10.95).

“Tatuado,” in case you hadn’t sleuthed it out already, is Spanish for “tattoo.” Vince Neil has a couple of those.

Pretty cozy and quiet, if you don't count the Crue videos playing non-stop.

Vince Neil’s Tatuado Restaurant & Cantina at LVH isn’t exactly bustling, which means there’s no wait to be seated and the service is quick and attentive.

No waiting.
No waiting might be an understatement.

Our nachos were serviceable, but nothing to write home about. The cocktails are clearly the main attraction.

Bringing the meh.
“Hell, yeah, it’s meh!”

The decor includes a variety of Vince Neil memorabilia, but it feels sort of perfunctory. There was a nice moment with Vince Neil’s motorcycle, however.

A customer chopper bears the name of Neil's daughter, Skylar. His Skylar Neil Memorial Fund was created in her honor.

Overall, it’s a sad state of affairs at LVH, but the cocktails at Vince Neil’s Tatuado Restaurant & Cantina are a bright spot.

Tatuado has two happy hours, one from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and another from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Appetizers and margaritas are half price.

Here’s more about Vince Neil’s Tatuado Restaurant & Cantina. We’re surprised it doesn’t get more ink. If you see what we did there.
