Rumjungle was a popular Las Vegas restaurant and nightclub that was opened in 1999 [1] and was built as a part of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino original construction. It consistently made the Nightclub & Bar Magazine list of the Top 100 nightclubs [2] in the United States, and was in the Top 20 of Restaurant & Institutions Top 100 Grossing Restaurants in the United States. [3]

Contents

It was the largest Brazilian (Churrascaria style) restaurant in the world, and had the largest rum list in the world; its rum bar was 144 feet long and 19 feet high. [4] The menu also contained culinary influences from the Caribbean and Africa. [5]

Interior

Sheets of glass with running water were used to divide the space between sections of the club. At the rear was a generous dancefloor with the DJ and Drummer platforms close by. [6] Purchase of dinner allowed guests to skip the line and cover charge in the back dancefloor area. [7]

Closure

Rumjungle filed for bankruptcy in March 2010 [8] and has since closed. [9]
