Popular Asian Restaurant Closing Its Las Vegas Strip Location
Famous international Chinese restaurant chain Mr. Chow has shut down its Las Vegas location.
Founded in the 1960s by British-Chinese restauranteur and artist Michael Chow, Mr. Chow has locations in London, Beverly Hills, New York City, Miami and Riyadh.
'Mr. Chow features elegant white, modern decor with one-of-a-kind design elements including a kinetic 'moon' sculpture that hangs over the main dining room," said the chain's official website. "Touches like the sculpture add a bit of a show element to your meal and that's exactly what Mr. Chow likes to do. Not only is it a culinary experience, you'll also be entertained during your evening. The sculpture is suspended from a domed ceiling in the center of the room and it comes to life every 20 minutes slowly morphing into different shapes.'
The Las Vegas iteration was the seventh Mr. Chow outpost to open. Located inside Caesars Palace, the establishment opened its doors in 2016 and quickly became a celebrity hotspot.
However, after nearly a decade in business, the Las Vegas Mr. Chow shut down following its final day of service on May 17.
"Business levels are the culprit, as well as the terrible location with low visibility in the sprawling resort. There are no current plans for what will replace Mr. Chow on the second floor of Caesars Palace in the Forum Tower," reported Vital Vegas.
In its nine years in business, Mr. Chow served high-end Beijing-style cuisine to Caesars Palace patrons under the famous "Moon" sculpture, designed by Chow himself.
Popular menu items included Beijing duck, Mr. Chow noodles, salt and pepper prawns, Dungeness crab and other traditional dishes.

Beckham Drama? Inside Rumors That Brooklyn and Nicola Are Feuding With the Family
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, are reportedly feuding with the rest of the Beckham family. Tensions have risen so high that Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from family patriarch David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. Life & Style breaks down all the clues that have fueled the Beckham family drama rumors. Romeo Beckham began dating girlfriend Kim Turnbull in late 2024, despite her being Brooklyn's reported ex-girlfriend. The relationship caused a rift within the family after Brooklyn reportedly had an issue with Romeo dating Kim. On April 3, 2025, a source told TMZ that although Brooklyn didn't have lingering romantic feelings toward Kim, he didn't trust that her intentions with Romeo were pure. 'There's no ill will toward Romeo himself, Brooklyn just doesn't approve of Kim dating him,' according to the outlet. David's wife, Victoria Beckham, and kids Romeo, Cruz Beckham and Harper Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday early in March 2025. Romeo shared a group photo via Instagram of the evening on March 31, 2025, featuring Kim and Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, in the snapshot. Romeo added fuel to the feud fire when he re-shared the photo on his Instagram Stories along with the message, 'Family is everything. Love you all.' The following month, Romeo and Cruz ignited rumors that there was a family feud when they seemingly mocked Nicola's Instagram comment to Romeo's ex-girlfriend, Mia Regan. 'So beautiful Mia,' the Transformers actress wrote under Mia's April 5, 2025, Instagram photo alongside a pink heart and sparkle emoji. Two days later, Romeo shared solo and couple photos with Kim, leading Cruz to comment, 'So beautiful Romeo,' with the same emojis that Nicola used on Mia's post. Reps for Cruz and Romeo did not immediately respond to Life & Style's request for comment. On May 3, 2025, David was showered with love at his official birthday party in London with his family, minus Brooklyn and Nicola, and fellow A-list friends. Romeo shared more photos of David's ongoing lavish birthday celebrations the following day, including family moments without Brooklyn. As fan theories about the family feud spewed online, a source told People that there were 'tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family," but the bad blood was 'definitely not beyond repair.' 'They love and are always there for him. They're just hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life,' the insider told the outlet. Meanwhile, a separate source told Us Weekly that Brooklyn and Nicola ask for 'special treatment,' and Victoria and David are 'over it.' So much, that the professional athlete and former Spice Girl reportedly declined their eldest son and daughter-in-law's invitation to celebrate David's birthday with him – privately. 'David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family and the family does things a certain way,' the source explained. 'But Brooklyn isn't playing it like that, and everything is a drama.' The source added, 'They just tell the whole family there's a party, 'Here's the time, here's the date.' It's not that complicated. Everyone else seems OK with it.' Chatter that Nicola didn't mesh well with Brooklyn's family started in 2022, after they got married earlier that year. That August, Nicola addressed the rumors with Variety and shared that the gossip stemmed from her decision not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding dress, and instead wore a gown by Valentino. 'I was going to, and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn't do it, so then I had to pick another dress. She didn't say you can't wear it; I didn't say I didn't want to wear it,' Nicola told the publication. 'That's where it started, and then they ran with that.'

Dino Store the latest in MTA's underground art movement
NYC's art scene is going back underground — literally. As the Big Apple's subterranean newsstands, shoe shine parlors, barber shops and other vintage conveniences roll down their gates for the last time, the MTA has been experimenting with a creative way to fill the voids — with eye-catching installations Dubbed the Vacant Unit Activation program, which the agency said is aimed at making stations 'more welcoming and whimsical spaces for riders,' a number of artists are being given a platform to show the world their stuff. 6 Akiva Leffert is the co-founder of Rex's Dino Store — a funny one-stop for scaly straphangers that recently popped up inside Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza subway station. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post Mira Atherton, senior manager of MTA construction development, told The Post that the spaces had been determined as unfit for rental for a variety of reasons. 'These are often units … that are in old stations, typically ones that have been there for over a hundred years. They are funky shapes. They're small, they have often a lot of utility issues,' she said. 'They don't have water or a waste line. They might be in stations that are not as well-trafficked.' By giving drab corners a Gotham-style glow-up, Atherton said the agency aims not only to inspire riders, but also provide 'affordable space for artists and nonprofits who often have trouble finding space.' Since the 2023 inception of the project, run by the MTA Real Estate initiative, there have been twelve total activations — with eight running currently. As a service to busy commuters, we've done the legwork and wrangled five stops to keep an eye out for. The land before Time magazine 6 Rex is the proprietor of the Dino Store — where prehistoric puns are served up, free of charge. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post Real newsstands may be going the way of the triceratops, but any scaly straphangers waiting for the 2/3 at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza station will find all their needs catered for at Rex's Dino Store. The newly-opened spot, overseen by the eponymous 7-foot-tall T-Rex proprietor, offers up 50 punny primeval products — from copies of the Maul Street Journal and the Jurassic Park Slope Courier to Snarlboros and Three Tusketeers. There's even an appearance by the prehistoric doppelganger to New York's favorite tabloid — The Pangaea Post. (On the cover — a tyrannosaur in handcuffs, with the headline: SMALL ARMS DEALER.) 'It's a bodega for dinosaurs,' co-founder Akiva Leffert explained to The Post of the Rex-treme makeover — which he collaborated on with fellow creative and former standup comedian Sarah Cassidy. 6 Some of the Triassic tabloids on offer at the Dino Store, including Post doppelganger The Pangaea Post. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post 'We were riffing on this idea of just old newsstand, really old newsstand. Really, really old new stand,' Leffert said. 'And the jokes just kind of started writing themselves.' The shop, which sits behind protective glass to keep it safe from modern-day marauders, reportedly took over a year to complete, including four months for Rex himself — he's made of chicken wire covered in paper maché — with ping-pong balls for the eyes. In accordance with code, this was then fire-proofed by certified professionals — to prevent any mass-extinction events. How to train your subway performer 6 The Sound Booth at the 81st Street-Natural History Museum stop books local artists. Megan Armas / MTA Between throngs of commuters, trains, and soaring assaults, the subway platform can seem like a dangerous place for performers. As a service to buskers, non-profit Art on the Ave NYC has established the Sound Booth, a music box on the 81st Street-Natural History Museum stop for local musicians to serenade passersby. 'It's great because it gives them a relatively safe place to perform in the sense that they're right close to the ticket office and right by the turnstiles,' Barbara Anderson, Executive Director of Art on the Ave NYC, told The Post. 'And they can just go in there.' Along with providing three walls, the Sound Booth is outfitted with speakers, amps and more so performers 'don't have to bring all of their equipment,' per Anderson. There's even a musically-inspired mural featuring Billie Holiday, the Beatles, a DJ and some tambourines. Originally opened in June 2024, the installation was originally supposed to run for six months but they kept it going because it was such a hit, according to the Art on the Ave boss. To date, the Sound Booth — which is open four days a week for three hours slots — has attracted over 50 artists, including the famed 'Saw Lady' Natalia Paruz; The Meetles (a Beatles cover band), an acapella group from Fordham University; a flute trio, DJs and the Motown singers who cruise the subways most weekends. Starting June 10, the installment will be home to a Sing For Hope Piano — artist-designed ivory boxes that are sprinkled around the city — marking the first time the non-profit has had a piano in the subway system. Calm in the storm 6 Kathleen Marie Ryan's 'Nympheas Rouge: Reflections of Spring' installation, located on the 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue E train downtown subway platform. Tamara Beckwith Finding solitude during a hectic commute can seem impossible at times. Fortunately, patrons of the proletariat chariot can grab a moment of quiet reflection with the serene 'Nympheas Rouge: Reflections of Spring' installation located on the 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue E train downtown subway platform. With the help of the MTA and ChaShaMa, a non-profit that transforms derelict real estate into art spaces, artist Kathleen Marie Ryan converted this defunct newsstand into a 24-square-foot immersive display with her painting of waterlilies on three walls and a mirrored floor serving as a reflecting pool. Coincidentally, the tranquil triptych, which took over a year to complete, is located just a block away from Monet's water lilies at the Museum of Modern Art. 'After studying how people interact with art in museums, I wanted this microenvironment to give passersby a moment of calm and beauty in one of the most stressful parts of the city,' said Ryan. 'A tourist from Sacramento said it felt 'like a moment of calm in a storm.'' In 2019, international researchers found that subterranean art installations can even help the depression and tension caused by subway spaces. Thanks for the memories 6 One of the highlights is a headline from an East New Yorker describing when Edolphus 'Ed' Towns Jr. made history as the first African American deputy borough president in 1976. Gregg Richards / BPL East New Yorkers are bringing color to Brooklyn commuters' day with a nostalgic wall montage featuring maps, historic photos and other memorabilia that pays tribute to the legendary neighborhood's past. The installation, called Memories Matter, was a community collaboration between local residents of all ages, the East New York Community Land Trust and the Center for Brooklyn History at the Brooklyn Public Library. Along with map collages and floral displays, the display also features historical photographs of the neighborhood, as well as images from community newspapers and excerpts from interviews with local residents. It's a hot new track The subway platform soundtrack is no longer screeching subway tracks and raving EDPs. Located at the Chambers Street metro station, Chamber Hum was created to restore the auditory balance by playing various experimental and ambient compositions — each of which run for one month — on a multi-channel sound system. This month's buzzy track is reportedly inspired by a mysterious humming noise in Taos, New Mexico that's reportedly only able to be heard by 2% of the town's population. In fact, the sound has even been blamed for insomnia dizziness and other symptoms, but here the version serves to create ear-quilibrium amid the metro carriage cacophony. The installation is 'active 23 hours each day, with a short break between the hours of 4AM and 5AM,' organizer WPZSCH writes on the site.
