A pool bar in Las Vegas. Owned by the Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar.
Does that just scream party!, or what!?
It is about to become a reality as Hagar is opening Sammy’s Island, a tropical-themed pool bar at the Palms complete with a Tequileria, a tiki bar, cabanas and even a stage. Hmmmm. It will open on Friday, May 17, just in time for Memorial Day Weeekend in Vegas.
“Sammy’s Island is something I’ve dreamed about for years and the pool at Palms is the perfect location for it,” said Hagar, who has been instrumental in the design and overall setting of the Cabo-inspired oasis. “In addition to their Pearl Theater being one of my favorite places to play, the Palms has a gorgeous pool deck with multiple pools and a stage for live music, which is undergoing a total transformation into Sammy’s Island.
“I couldn’t be more grateful to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the entire team at the Palms for making this dream a reality.”
The Tiki Bar will have tropical cocktails featuring Hagar’s Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, a partnership with Rick Springfield, and Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktails canned cocktails. Tequileria will have flights of additive-free Santo Tequila and Santo Mezquila, a unique tequila/mezcal blend by Santo Spirits, Hagar’s top-shelf tequila brand in partnership with celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
There will also be canned cocktails, beers such as Red Rocker Lager and an assortment of specialty cocktails featuring Hagar’s top-shelf spirits such as the signature Maui-jito, made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum rum, fresh lime juice, pineapple syrup, fresh mint leaves and topped with club soda and dehydrated pineapple; strawberry daiquiris made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum rum and the Palm’s signature frozen strawberry mix; and refreshing frozen Cabo-rita featuring Santo Blanco tequila, Cointreau and fresh lime sour.
Food includes the Baja Breakfast Burrito made with carne asada, scrambled eggs, fries, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo and avocado in a flour tortilla and Egg Sandwich made with applewood bacon, cheddar cheese, over medium eggs and maple aioli, served on a brioche bun and with a Tajin fruit cup. The menu will also feature shareable dishes such as Chicken Tinga Nachos featuring shredded chicken tinga, black beans, shredded cheese mix, jalapeño, cotija cheese, pico de gallo and house-made salsa; chicken wings, quesadillas salas and a poke bowl.
When you-know-who isn’t rocking it there – there’s been no annoucement he will but the stage is literally set for him – there will be DJs Saturdays thru Mondays.
