A beautiful restaurant and home of Elizabeth Taylor. Make reservations on Open Table. I recommend that you call or email them to find out when the mariachi's play and schedule around them. There are about 16 of them and it is like an orchestra.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Taxi's
If you need a taxi from D'Terrace, just ask the security guard up front to call for one. He has a two way radio and the cab will be there shortly. NOTE: Taxi's do not have meters so before you get in them, ask what the price will be. Helpful Tip: Take a short walk over to the Tropicana hotel and look at the price list for taxi's posted on the wall near the security desk. Take a picture of it and that is what the rates should be, before optional tip.
UBER is always an option in PV.
