Sugarcane offers up some pretty good tapas style American bar food right by the Venitian. This is a pretty spacious lounge / restaurant that has some killer happy hour specials from 5-7pm. There was plenty of open seating and the service was fast and friendly.
The bartender was very engaging and fun - he made it a great time! The place is pretty modern with a very upbeat vibe and music. The crowd was a little older so we didn't feel out of place.
We tried a couple of Happy Hour appetizer specials. The briny oysters were outstanding and only $1.50 a piece! These plump, fresh oysters tasted like they were just harvested. The goat cheese croquettes were also delightful! The bacon wrapped dates were quite good - but they only had 3 to a serving and went quickly. They also have a variety of fancy drinks for only $8 - my wife loved her mojito and a rum/fruit cocktail.
