| - It's hard for me to admit when I'm wrong about things. But there is a glimmer of hope when I find something that really stimulates my manmones"You'll never find Brazilian food in Vegas. It's not the same." Ok I'll admit that Rum Jungle has the rodezio experience where they bring meat around on huge metal skewers. But Rum Jungle is a fusion experience. Well there's Samba at the Mirage. There's Pampas at the Dessert Passage. Then there's Yolie's off the beaten path near Ruth Chris on Paradise. Now Yolie's sits with these green awnings on the second floor of this strip mall. The staff is very friendly and it's kinda a family setting.
WARNING: THIS IS A MEAT EXTRAVEGANZA. Ok sure they bring some rice and some fejoida, or even some plantains. But wait for the MEAT. There's marker to signify when to bring the meat and when to stop the carnage....It comes in waves, if you haven't been to a Brazilian Rodizio and ate churrasco....you don't know what you're missing. If you're a carnivore, you get waves meat in large metal skewers. Like roast pork tenderloin, trip tip, sirloin, rib eye, chicken, Portuguese sausage, lamb, ribs, and they keep coming....until you turn your little marker to make it stop. When you start crying out tears of ground beef....you know you're done....The price is affordable for all the meat you get. WAY CHEAPER and closer to authentic than Rum Jungle. This is also one of the few places in town that actually serve real cachaca and caipirinhas...Yea.
Overall - it's a meat lover's fantasy. The carb portions are small. I'd definitely eat here again. But I'm not thinkin 4 star. More 3.5 But I guess I'll round up....
No Animals were harmed during this review....Sorry Vegans I'll eat more veggies.....
