| - An okay substitute to Fat Tuesdays.
We stayed at the Encore so the nearest Fat Tuesdays was either at the Stratosphere or Caesar's.. both quite far in terms of walking distance so we settled for Lime Ice @ the Venetian instead.
Major differences:
-L.I. has limited flavors.. probably only 6 machines max and they're pretty normal/standard. F.T. has multiple flavors and they are quite unique like the Cat 5 Hurricane, 190 Octane along with the standard flavors as well.
-F.T. has HARDER alcohol like 151 and Everclear, and each shot is only $2 (I heard it used to only be $1?!). L.I. only has rum, tequila, and vodka.. therefore, you won't get f'ed up as nicely, and each extra shot is $3.
-F.T. at the Forum Shoppes is huge, they had a seating area and even bar food you can order. L.I. is pretty tiny, and only had one girl working it on a Saturday afternoon.. which made the wait for one drink about 15 minutes.
So overall, Lime Ice had a longer wait, semi-boring flavors (margarita, strawberry daiquiri and pina colada? We've seen it) although they were pretty tasty, and more expensive drinks with weaker alcohol.
My one 22oz pilsner plus an extra shot of rum came out to $18.. and I didn't even get a buzz from it! Just extremely full. I can see why there are multiple Fat Tuesday locations and only one of these in Vegas. We should've just made the walk! :\
