Embrace the aromatic smells and exotic flavors of Rio de Janeiro at Samba Brazilian Steakhouse’s Brazilian Brunch. In honor of Carnival, an annual four-day festival that encourages indulging in life’s pleasures, Samba at The Mirage debuts a brunch that incorporates customary Brazilian fare into the American practice of enjoying both breakfast and lunch at the same time.
Breakfast favorites get a tropical twist with selections like Guava French Toast and Miniature Waffles with Chile Scented Maple Syrup, which will delight both lovers of the sweet and spicy. An unlimited array of beef, pork and poultry are grilled to perfection Rodizio-style and sliced onto guests’ plates right off the skewer. Customary sides, including Sweet Fried Plantains and Mango Lime Shrimp Ceviche Shooters, round out the offerings creating a complete Brazilian feast.
To quench guests’ thirsts, specialty cocktails inspired by the flavors of Brazilcan be purchased by the glass for $12 or by the pitcher for $45. The Pineapple Mojito, which combines muddled mint leaves, fresh lime juice, syrupy Agave nectar, pineapple juice, sparkling club soda and Absolut Citron Vodka, is just one of the fruity and refreshing beverages on the list. Others include the bubbly Acai Mimosa and the Brazilian Mary, a zesty take on the Bloody Mary made with Leblon Cachaca and a delicious concoction of Brazilian spices.
Guests desiring to test the culinary vivaciousness of Carnival can satisfy their curiosities at Samba’s authentic Brazilian Brunch. Samba’s variety of savory dishes, plus live entertainment all four weekends, gives guests a true taste of Brazil, right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
