The [slumber party](http://www.grubstreet.com/2016/10/taco-bell-airbnb-lets-you-sleep-in-one-of-its-restaurants.html) would prefer to be known as the Taco Bell “Steakcation.” The fast food company is living up to its mantra of “Live Más” with the launch of its new [Steak Doubedilla](https://www.tacobell.com/food/specialties/steak-doubledilla), which includes “a double portion of marinated steak, creamy jalapeno sauce and a 3 cheese blend, all grilled up in a flour tortilla.” In order to celebrate the Doubledilla’s launch, Taco Bell [Canada](http://time.com/4503563/canada-high-approval-polls/) is inviting one lucky superfan and three friends to spend the night at the store. The Taco Bell Steakcation can accommodate four with two bunk beds and two bathrooms. [According](https://www.airbnb.com/night-at/taco-bell-canada) to the Airbnb page, festivities include “playing games, watching TV, and of course, eating plenty of Steak Doubledillas.” Taco Bell’s Airbnb is flaunting five-star service, too. If “games” and “Doubedillas” isn’t convincing enough to apply, Taco Bell will even provide a “[Taco Bell ](http://time.com/4330161/taco-bell-coma/) Butler” to serve you. Just like any competition, however, [house rules apply](https://www.airbnb.com/night-at/taco-bell-canada). “Double dipping your chips” is not allowed if sharing salsa. On a more positive note, “Eating Steak Doubledillas in bed is not only allowed, but encouraged.” \[[Morning Star](http://news.morningstar.com/all/canada-news-wire/20161003C5389/taco-bell-canada-unveils-new-steak-doubledilla-with-airbnb-steakcation-experience.aspx)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4520321/taco-bell-canada-steakcation/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4520321/taco-bell-canada-steakcation/"},"headline":"Of Course It's Now Possible to Sleep at a Taco Bell With Your Own Personal Taco Butler","datePublished":"2016-10-05T20:55:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:22.457Z","description":"It's going to be the ultimate Steakcation","url":"https://time.com/4520321/taco-bell-canada-steakcation/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Business"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfec6198de264ef98/698895f2ab6d77f45c6a9eeb/160602_em_tacobell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lena Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lena-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfec6198de264ef98/698895f2ab6d77f45c6a9eeb/160602_em_tacobell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"160602_EM_TacoBell","caption":"160602_EM_TacoBell","creditText":"Patrick T.
