Just as we were beginning to worry Las Vegas had run out of original contest ideas, T&T (Tacos & Tequila) at the Luxor saves the day. Adding to the desired debauchery of their Mischieve Wednesdays pre-party leading up to a night out at LAX, T&T has launched… wait for it… human rooster fighting!

Think about it: What's not entertaining about two grown adults dressed like giant roosters? Feed them a few $5 Tecatés, margaritas or Hornitos shots and you’ve got yourself some trash-talking fouls. But it’s all in good fun.

The Details

Mischieve Wednesdays
Every Wednesday, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
T&T at the Luxor

Getting the party started every Wednesday and warming up the crowd are T&T’s defending champion Daniel “The Panda” Ayala and Jose “El Matador” Camador. Dressed head-to-toe in rooster garb, the contest is pure fun and nothing at all like the violent massacre featured in traditional cockfighting, so the cops and PETA reps can relax. No eyes were pecked out or spurs tied to the ankles of these roosters. Instead, the two competitors have balloons tied to their legs and must pop all of their opponent’s balloons first to be deemed the winner.

Once the tequila gives onlookers liquid courage to participate, they can don rooster masks and feet for their chance to win a bar tab to keep the Hornitos flowing. And if revelers aren’t quite bold enough to scrap with another rooster, the Mischieve photobooth at T&T rewards the person with the most “mischieve-ious” photo a bar tab as well. As T&T puts it, it’s time to get your hump-day fiesta on.
