Halal Caesar

            Infamous Gyros and White Sauce Hit Caesars

A Halal restaurant in a casino? Makes sense, it’s Vegas. And because it’s Halal Guys, currently open at
Caesars Palace. So now you can have delicious gyros and falafel with that legendary white sauce between
bets, drinks, shows, hangovers and whatever else Vegas throws your way.

SOMETHING’S BREWING

            A Vegas Strong Beer That Benefits Everybody

Now you can show support for Las Vegas with a chocolate, coffee and honey-flavored Vegas Strong beer. Joseph
James Brewing just released one, with all proceeds going to families affected by October’s tragedy. Find it
at Atomic Liquors, CraftHaus Brewery and Tenaya Creek Brewery, among others.

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

            Meet the Mandarin Oriental’s Newest Employee

Being greeted in the Mandarin Oriental Sky Lobby is always nice. Being greeted in the same 23rd-story lobby
by a humanoid robot named Pepper is demonstrably better. Factor in that this ‘bot gives directions, fields
questions, tells stories, dances and poses for selfies. And will soon dominate the Employee-of-the-Month
contest.

The CLONE RANGER

            This Place Turns You Into an Action Figure

The souvenir you didn’t see coming: three-dimensional dolls of yourself and your friends. Cashman Photo at
Planet Hollywood is making them. Simply hop into a flying saucer-like contraption where 128 cameras take a
365-degree scan, resulting in a 1/15th-scale mini-you. Kung-fu grip sold separately.

IN THE NOODLE

            An Udon Stronghold in Chinatown

Udon. It’s one of the Japanese noodles that is not ramen. And you can get your hands on noteworthy
versions with seafood and pork shabu at Cafe Sanuki in Chinatown. There are also tempura rice rolls. Also
deliciously not ramen.

On a typical Wednesday, Ginger Harris is likely seeking reposado tequila, squeezing her way to the front of a concert or jumping on the back of an Indian motorcycle. That’s just Wednesdays, though.
