| - Long my favorite Brazilian steakhouse (churrascaria), at least until I ate at Fogo de Chao (which I have also reviewed here), Rumjungle is a restaurant until about 10PM when it becomes a nightclub. The decor is pure Vegas, with fiery waterfalls, mood lighting and throbbing music. I've eaten here half-a-dozen times, and have always ordered the same thing: the Firepit. That's just Rumjungle's term for rodizio, when servers bring out meat on skewers to your heart's content. All diners at the table have to order this, but if you are with good eaters, it shouldn't be hard to persuade them. You are started off with a great Peruvian salad and then rice and beans, along with bread, fried plantains and a tasty chimichurri. Then the parade of protein starts. My favorites are the pork with pineapple, the sirloin and the bacon-wrapped chicken.
Predictably, rum is the featured spirit here and they have a very deep selection. The specialty drinks are OK, but you're better off asking for a classic cocktail made with some of that uber high-quality rum. The wine list is merely average.
For the price of you meal, you can stay when Rumjungle the nightclub opens up. It's not really a big enough space, especially when compared to some of the better known Vegas clubs, so be prepared to be packed in when the crowd picks up.
