There are no wrong reasons to grab a buddy or significant other and mosey on down to your favorite little slice of paradise by the sea for a weekend of fireworks, fun and friends, both new and old, a scrumptious five entrée Mexican buffet with all the trimmings in a comfortable yet classy Las Vegas style atmosphere of the beautiful Los Volcanes ballroom in the luxurious Sonoran Sky beachfront condominium resort…well, except space is limited to 300 people and the big night is this coming Saturday!
With happy customers leaning out the large windows beckoning to ambulant visitors on the main street below, it’s hard, nearly impossible, not to find and climb the steep stairway leading to the contagious revelry permeating throughout the colorful décor of the BooBar.
