If you plan to attend the opening, near Rainbow and the 215, well, Zippy’s has a few rules. [Review-Journal, Zippy’s]
🍽️ A Peek at Fontainebleau
For the nonfoodie who’s casually interested in the whopping 36 bars and restaurants announced for the forthcoming Fontainebleau, here’s a breezy summary of the highlights. [Las Vegas Weekly]
