Summer means fun. And so does Vegas. And so does Taco. So when it came time for Las Vegas Weekly to stage its first summer swimsuit spread, our fancies turned to Vegas’ foremost party boy. Taco, the big-hearted, supersized, professional fratboy and Falstaffian figure of fun, is world-renowned (at least on YouTube) as the mascot-at-large of Dick’s Last Resort at Excalibur.

Bringing along a selection of last-season swimsuits from quality discount purveyors, we took our hot Taco out of his natural element and set him loose at the exquisite Venus Pool Club at Caesars Palace, where he took full advantage of the posh pool’s permission to go topless—and beyond. Turns out he’s not only a bestower of unforgettable lap dances, he does a mean Shamu impression and is a natural-born male supermodel. It ain’t really summer without the great taste of Taco!
