Pinky\u2019s, <\/strong>the third Las Vegas Strip eatery from reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump, <\/strong>will hold its grand opening party on December 5th. That date is via the Las Vegas Review-Journal,<\/em> though it may not represent the date it opens to the public.<\/p>\n

As we reported last August, the $3.5 million restaurant — which will occupy nearly 7,000 square feet in the former Purple Zebra<\/strong>\u00a0bar space at the Flamingo —<\/strong> was scheduled to open this summer. No reason for the delay has been provided.<\/p>\n

The former \u201cReal Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d and \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d star, whose nickname is \u201cPinky,\u201d opened the\u00a0Cocktail Garden<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Caesars Palace\u00a0<\/strong> in 2019, followed by Vanderpump \u00e0 Paris<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Paris Las Vegas<\/strong>\u00a0 in 2022.<\/p>\n

All her restaurants are operated by Caesars Entertainment,<\/strong> which may be attempting to corner the Las Vegas market on celebrity restaurants. (Gordon Ramsay<\/strong> is about to open his seventh Strip restaurant to be operated by Caesars on his behalf. Gordon Ramsay Burger<\/strong> will also open at the Flamingo and, like Pinky\u2019s, is also four months behind schedule.)<\/p>\n

Netflix Bites <\/strong>will be a pop-up residency lasting for one year at the MGM Grand.<\/strong> Slated to open early next year in the casino resort\u2019s former Avenue Caf\u00e9 space,<\/a> it will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes inspired by popular Netflix series such as \u201cBridgerton,\u201d \u201cStranger Things\u201d and \u201cLa Casa de Papel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first Netflix Bites operated from June through September 2023 in LA at the Short Stories Hotel and was booked months in advance.<\/p>\n

This will mark the second Las Vegas pop-up collab between Netflix and MGM Resorts. Chef Truck<\/strong> parked itself at the Park MGM <\/strong>last year<\/a> as a cross-promotion for the movies \u201cChef,\u201d\u00a0and the subsequent \u201cChef Show,\u201d\u00a0which starred Jon Favreau <\/strong>and chef Roy Choi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viva Las Vegan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Las Vegas nabbed seven of the spots on Yelp\u2019s annual list of Top 100 Vegan Spots in the US. They finished as follows:<\/p>\n

10. Tarantino\u2019s Vegan,<\/strong> which serves plant-based Italian
\n16. No Butcher,<\/strong> a deli and sandwich counter featuring meatless meats and nondairy cheeses
\n51. Garden Grill,<\/strong> a Mexican joint that began as a pop-up
\n57. ChagaRoot,<\/strong> which specializes in mushrooms
\n74. Daikon Vegan Sushi,<\/strong> a Japanese\/Thai sushi spot
\n80. Tacotarian,<\/strong> the Vegas-born Mexican meatless favorite.
\n91. Down to Earth Plant-Based Cuisine,<\/strong> which serves comfort food.<\/p>\n

None of the winners is located on the Strip. This is unexpected, particularly because Crossroads<\/strong> at Resorts World <\/strong>has won multiple top accolades — including best vegan restaurant from VegNews<\/em> magazine last year, and a spot on the 15 \u201cRestaurants That Defined the Past Decade of Eating,\u201d according to Esquire <\/em>magazine\u2019s food and drink editor in 2019 — though both accolades were for the brand\u2019s LA location.<\/p>\n

When Swingers Las Vegas<\/strong> opens at Mandalay Bay <\/strong>on November 8, more people may line up for one of its restaurants than for its four golf courses. Golf they have elsewhere in Las Vegas, but not Emmy Squared Pizza. <\/strong><\/p>\n

A cult favorite since opening its first location in Brooklyn in 2016, Emmy\u2019s serves \u201cfrico\u201d-style crusts (quasi-burned with cheese). The brand currently operates 28 locations across the US.<\/p>\n

The Codfather, <\/strong>a favorite fried fish & chippery among British tourists, has reopened after closing this summer. (In a Facebook post, the owner blamed water, heat and power problems.) Its new location is just four doors down from the original, in a larger (and hopefully better powered) space at 2895 N. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson.<\/p>\n
