Latest Dining Casualty Many patrons wasn't enough to save Rub BBQ at the Rio, which closed last week, we just learned. It's the latest in a string of BBQ fatalities this year, the most recent prior being the short-lived Harry O's, which was located around the corner from our offices and next door to the Sand Dollar Blues Lounge which, we're very sad to report, has also closed.
UPDATE 12/9/09 Great BBQ Massacre Part 2 ("Salt Lick at Santa Fe, now Stoney's North Forty, BBQ Shak (now online only), Adam's Ribs (from the owner of Freakin' Frog), and Barbeque Masters on Decatur") comes a second wave. Yesterday we revealed that Rub BBQ and the Rio and Harry O's had both bitten the dust some have alerted us to the demise of Salt Lick at Red Rock and all three CJ's BBQ locations (formerly at Sahara and Buffalo and in two Charlie's bars). While Salt Lick received mixed reviews and was most likely a casualty of the recession, CJ's has a more interesting story. It turns out the owner was masquerading under a false identity (several, in fact) and turned out to be on Florida's most wanted fugitive list!  Only in Vegas.

 RIP 99¢ Shrimp Cocktail
We received confirmation that the venerable 99-cent shrimp cocktail, a staple of our Top Ten Values for many years, has now officially raised its price to $1.99. The price was hiked back in 2008, but since then the downtown delicacy was still available to members of the players club for 99-cents.
That is no more.

New Restaurant for Paris Sugar Factory, the celebrity-beloved candy store which opened its first Las Vegas location last year at the Mirage, is to open a full-blown restaurant at Paris in the Strip-side space currently occupied by Ah Sin. The 15,000-square-foot restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night menus, with an emphasis on desserts, and will also feature a gelato bar and retail space.
Style-wise, according to the press release we should think "imaginative world of Willy Wonka meets the trendsetting style of MTV."
It's slated to open sometime this fall.

Serendipity offers food specials for its birthday
It seems like only yesterday that Serendipity 3 was serving its first Frrrozen Hot Chocolate here in Las Vegas, but a glance at the calendar reveals that it's been an entire year since the New York transplant set up shop at Caesars Palace. This month, the modern ice cream parlor is celebrating its first birthday with a handful of food specials. For all of April, Serendipity 3 is offering $1 refills on chili-cheese fries and chili-cheese nachos, because one order of deep-fried deliciousness smothered in rich chili and gooey cheese is just never enough. Also on sale are mini pink peppermint ice cream cakes, $1 with the purchase of an entrée, and the special Holly's Pink Peppermint Sundae (that would be Holly Madison, of course) for $10. Of course, what you'll really want during your anniversary visit to Serendipity 3 is one of those Frrrozen Hot Chocolates. Consider ordering them with a side of chili cheese fries or two.

Rock & Rita’s ‘Great American Party’ Coming to Circus Circus – New Bar, Dining And Entertainment Concept Opens In June The “Great American Party” will arrive at Circus Circus with the June opening of Rock & Rita’s, a new bar, restaurant and entertainment hot spot. Flair bartending, live music and festive signature dishes will be the focus at this 14,000 sq. ft rock-inspired venue. “Rock & Rita’s will take Circus Circus’ visitors to a new level of interactive partying,” David Z. Tuttleman said who, along with partner Mark Green, comprise the duo of Las Vegas restaurateurs behind the project. “It’s a continuous, high-energy gathering in an atmosphere designed to unleash your inner party animal.” At Rock & Rita’s, flair bartending will take center stage as drinks and bottles are flipped, juggled, spun, balanced and poured by some of the best professionals in the business. A style of American bartending credited to the legendary Jerry “The Professor” Thomas, who first poured flaming Scotch from a mug while mixing a Blue Blazer cocktail, flair bartending is synonymous with over-the-top showmanship. Rock & Rita’s will showcase flair competition winners from around the world at bartending stations equipped with stage controls for both impromptu and scheduled shows. “Our bartenders are going to kick the party up a notch,” Tuttleman said. “We are actively recruiting a world-ranked champion staff committed to giving every guest a larger-than-life experience.” Chef Alfonso Contrisciani, who shares his elite Master Chef status less than 100 other chefs in the country, brings his unique food presentations to Rock & Rita’s menu, including appetizers served atop flowing fog and spectacular-sized portions of America’s favorite party foods. The menu will also feature American classics such as burgers, country-style meatloaf and BBQ pork ribs served alongside more inventive dishes including Piña Colada Chicken and Pretzel & Pecan Crusted Catfish. All-American décor by award-winning designer Mark Tracy of Chemical Spaces will set the mood for drinking, dining and live-band karaoke in this space. Recently named Best Designer at the 2008 HEIDI AWARDS, Tracy will integrate patriotic touches with technology to create a fun, interactive atmosphere. From the monster truck-inspired bar and custom beer-pong tables to astounding visuals, every detail will ooze a party vibe. Rock & Rita’s will be open for breakfast, lunch , dinner and late-night dining serving reasonably priced entrees with sandwiches starting at $6 and up, dinner entrees starting at $12. Just like the great American experience, Rock & Rita’s has a menu that appeals to a broad range of partying tastes. For more information about Rock & Rita’s, visit http://www.RockandRitas.com. ABOUT ROCK & RITA’S
Co-founders Mark Green and David Z. Tuttleman are award-winning Las Vegas restaurateurs specializing in flair bartending hot spots. Rock & Rita’s at Circus Circus will be their second Las Vegas venture. Their first, Kahunaville, is located at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. Green and Tuttleman also host annual flair bartending competitions around the world. |

Wolfgang Puck's Brasserie PUCK at CityCenter's Crystals has been renamed and rethemed.
Instead of it being bistro-esque, today it reopens as Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria & Cucina, featuring the chef's famed wood-oven baked pizzas, plus homemade pastas and rustic Italian favorites. The restaurant is open nightly for dinner only.
These pizzas will feature premium ingredients and have other menu items (albeit more “safe”) that shouldn’t disappoint such as, Ricotta Gnocchi, Ribeye and Salmon.
It’s all about the packaging in this economy as $25 spent at a pizzeria very affordable.
