The high-end seafood and steakhouse brand — which has 14 locations across the US — will open a 14,500 square-foot flagship location, including a rooftop terrace, atop the four-story 63 development at Aria Campus (the former CityCenter) on the Strip.<\/p>\n

Mitchell\u2019s company forked over a reported $20M to make his longtime dream a reality. It will feature caviar service, unique menu items such as the hot seafood tower, and a tableside gin-and-tonic making cart.<\/p>\n

Better Food than Service<\/h2>\n

Karen\u2019s Diner<\/strong> — an Australian-spawned mockery of a \u201950s American icon featuring servers who are all entitled middle-aged white women (Karens) — will open its second U.S. pop-up experience on October 7 and 8 at an undisclosed Las Vegas Boulevard location. (St. Louis was first.)<\/p>\n

According to its website, the handcrafted burgers are \u201ckick-ass,\u201d but the waiters \u201care rude, and our manners are non-existent. Come on, ask for the manager \u2026 WE DARE YOU.\u201d<\/p>\n

A $47 ticket gets you a burger, fries, a drink, and yelled at for nothing. Click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

King of the Road Kill<\/h2>\n

John Mull\u2019s Meats and Road Kill Grill — the 70-year-old, family-run BBQ joint featured on Guy Fieri\u2019s \u201cDiners, Drive-Ins and Dives\u201d — has been added to the Las Vegas Historic Property Register. \u00a0
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comings & Goings<\/h2>\n

Happy Camper Pizza <\/strong>will establish its first Vegas location at the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, according to whatnowvegas.com. The pizza and bar chain has locations in Denver and Chicago.<\/p>\n

Food Network star Jet Tila<\/strong> has opened Dragon Tiger Noodle Co.<\/strong>\u2019s second Las Vegas outpost at 750 S. Rampart Blvd.<\/p>\n

\n

A Mexican restaurant will replace Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar<\/strong> at Red Rock Resort, the Las Vegas Review-Journal <\/em>reported. The name of the new eatery from the Wish You Were Here Group isn\u2019t certain but Ondas (Spanish for \u201cwaves\u201d) is being floated. Hearthstone, a collaboration with Clique Hospitality, will close after April 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

China Mama,<\/strong> a popular Las Vegas Chinatown destination for 20 years, has accelerated its search for a second location following a kitchen fire on March 30. Its original location, at 3420 Jones Blvd., \u00a0will be closed for up to a year.<\/p>\n

Another Chinatown staple, the Malaysian restaurant Big Wong,<\/strong> has decided to close permanently in a few weeks, according to a message shared on its Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
