The internationally renowned Japanese izakaya Zuma is opening a sophisticated 9,000-square-foot outpost at the Cosmopolitan on Saturday. Consequently, you and your friends should prepare for a constant stream of Wagyu-beef-and-caviar sushi, sake-glazed chicken wings and yuzu palomas. Though, to be clear, not-preparing for dinner works well here, too.
Maybe you’ve heard of Giordano’s, the world-famous stuffed deep-dish pizzeria from Chicago. Maybe you haven’t. Either way, the first-ever Vegas location of that exalted Windy City institution now occupies a full dining room and bar at the Grand Bazaar Shops. Your awareness of it be damned.
Intriguing Mandarin Oriental Development #1: A decadent five-course wine dinner in the dark
at Twist, illuminated only by the Strip’s lights.
Intriguing Mandarin Oriental Development #2: A genuine champagne vending machine, filled
with bottles of Moët redeemable exclusively by those using a special $20 golden coin.
Wow. Truly... wow.
La La Land is good. Nominated-for-14-Academy-Awards-good. But it could certainly be improved with the addition of lobster roll sliders, apple cobbler and a draft serrano chili margarita at the new, 21-and-over Eclipse Theaters. And maybe better singers.
Us: In-N-Out Burger recently opened its first Strip location on the Linq Promenade.

Us: NYC’s Virgil’s Real Barbecue also recently opened there. They’ve got smoked pork
spare ribs and Texas-style beef brisket.
You: Fucking hell.
