Southern California Pastrami Favorite Finally Expands to Las Vegas
Southern California's beloved pastrami destination, the Hat, is finally moving forward with plans to open in Las Vegas — six years after the chain announced it would expand to Southern Nevada. Construction is now underway on a 4,122-square-foot restaurant at 6239 South Rainbow Boulevard — the same space it staked out in 2019 — with a drive-thru and outdoor patio. The Hat has been a California staple since 1951, serving pastrami dips poised for dunking into homemade au jus, plus burgers, turkey sandwiches, and onion rings. The Hat teased the opening on Instagram, announcing a grand opening in spring 2026.
The Hat joins a growing parade of regional fast food favorites expanding into Las Vegas. Most recently, Georgia's favorite fast-food chicken chain, Zaxby's, opened a drive-thru here. Earlier this year, North Carolina-based Bojangles opened in the Southwest, and Hawaii-based Zippy's opened its second location in the Vegas area. And that's not to mention the grocery stores Aldi and H-Mart, which debuted in April. Still rumored to make a Las Vegas appearance: Portillo's potentially.
Late-Night Skewers Land in Chinatown
The team behind Chubby Cattle's conveyor-belt hot pot restaurant and the high-tech X-Pot on the Strip is back with a new late-night venture. Chubby Skewers opens Wednesday, June 18, on Spring Mountain Road, serving Northeastern Chinese Dongbei-style barbecue from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Skewers start at just $1, with a menu that ranges from wagyu beef to duck tongue to spicy cold noodles. The space channels the energy of old-school Chinese street stalls — think bold reds, neon lights, and low tables.
New York Noodle Hybrid Extends Its Short-Term Pop-Up
Pastaramen, the boundary-blurring Japanese-Italian pop-up from chef Robbie Felice, is extending its run at Bar Zazu in Resorts World Las Vegas through July 12. Originally slated for just a one-month residency, the crossover has drawn crowds with dishes like cacio e pepe gyoza, mochi ramen carbonara, and a $250 truffle porcini ramen that is dramatically prepared in a flaming wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Brewdog Opens a Beer Hall Beneath Its Rooftop Behemoth
UnderDog Beer Hall opens on Thursday, June 12, beneath BrewDog's massive 30,000-square-foot rooftop brewpub on the Las Vegas Strip. Tucked inside the Showcase Mall, UnderDog brings a more casual vibe with giant screens, a new pizza-focused menu, and beers on tap — including BrewDog favorites like Elvis Juice and guest pours from local Las Vegas breweries.
Baguette Cafe Heads Downtown
Baguette Café opened a new downtown Las Vegas location on May 22 right on Las Vegas Boulevard, near Fremont Street. It brings together signature French-inflected breakfast, brunch, and lunch fare just a block from Fremont Street. Known for thoughtful sourcing and warm hospitality, this marks the café's third outpost in the valley — and its first in the heart of Downtown.
Chef Leticia Mitchell Opens Another Cocina
Leticia's Cocina and Cantina is opening a new location at Boulder Station this summer. Known for dishes like birria quesatacos, shrimp ceviche, and Mexico City-style enchiladas suizas, chef Leticia Mitchell first gained national attention with an appearance on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives . This will be her second location with Station Casinos, following the original inside Santa Fe Station. She also runs Letty's, a fast-casual spin-off downtown, and sister restaurant Carmelita's Mar y Tierra in East Las Vegas. Leticia's will replace the now-closed Guadalajara restaurant. See More:

China Boosts Credit with $204B Bond Push--But Borrowing Stays Muted
China's credit growth picked up in Maybut the momentum came from Beijing, not the private sector. The People's Bank of China reported nearly 1.5 trillion yuan ($204 billion) in government bonds were sold last month, roughly 20% higher than a year ago. That marks the third time in 2025 bond sales have topped 1 trillion yuan in a single month. The surge helped lift total aggregate financing to 2.29 trillion yuan, an increase from 2 trillion yuan in May 2024. On the ground, though, the appetite for new borrowing looks subdued. Households took out just 54 billion yuan in new loans last month, bringing the year-to-date total to 572 billion yuanthe lowest since at least 2009. New loans from financial institutions also fell, landing at 620 billion yuan, well below last year's 945 billion yuan for the same period. This comes even after the PBOC announced sweeping monetary easing in early May, including across-the-board rate cuts and liquidity moves that could inject 2.1 trillion yuan into the economy. According to Bloomberg Economics' Eric Zhu, May's numbers suggest the government is delivering on its stimulus plans, but the response from households and businesses remains cautious. For global investors watching China's recovery story, the next leg of growth may depend on whether demand strengthens beyond public-sector activity. Companies with strong exposure to the Chinese consumer, including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), could be watching for early signs of a turn in private-sector sentiment.

WRJ Design Wins National Attention for Jackson Hole Home as "Ode to Art and Beauty"
LUXE honors design team with cover story featuring project inspired by the majestic Teton landscape, iconic modern architecture and a stunning blue-chip art collection JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For WRJ Design, the project paired dream clients – worldly, visionary and invested in their home's creation story – with an incredible blue-chip art collection and the opportunity to collaborate at the highest level with Jackson, Wyoming-based CLB Architects, OSM Construction of Bozeman, Montana, and Jackson landscape architect Bonny Hershberger of HDLA. The resulting home has earned the honor of two separate May/June 2025 LUXE Interiors + Design covers – one on the magazine's national issue and one on its new Colorado + the Rockies regional edition – with a feature story on the project in both that dubs the project "Poetic Nature," a "family legacy home [that] stands as an ode to art and beauty." Situated on 35 acres of iconic Jackson Hole ranchland with Teton, Gros Ventre and Snake River range views, the architecture rests lightly on the land, meeting the homeowners' desire for a "Frank Lloyd Wright meets the West" style suitable as both a permanent current residence for the couple and their four children and a timeless heritage estate for generations to come. A deeply personal art collection spanning more than 300 pieces informed both architecture and interiors. "Every decision we made complements it," says WRJ Design co-owner and design director Rush Jenkins, whose team on the project included design lead Sabrina Schreibeis and designer Ashton Horner. Jenkins drew on his early pre-WRJ career as director of design at Sotheby's New York to "create interiors where furnishings and décor are in clear dialogue with the artworks, which draw you forward, with a surprise around every corner." "The home's palette is largely a master class of soothing neutrals, with select zings of color," writes LUXE. "This helps to accentuate that every object within is a study in craftsmanship selected as a worthy companion to the artwork." At the same time, the home exemplifies WRJ Design's trademark ability to create luxurious bespoke interiors in a comfortable, unfussy way that lives up to the everyday demands of a busy and active family. "These homeowners live with incredible examples of artisan craftsmanship and art," says Jenkins, "but they are presented in a non-precious way that invites lounging on the sofa, sharing cocktail hour with friends and traipsing in and out enjoying the incredible range of outdoor activities that Jackson Hole is famous for." "Maintaining a sense of harmony with an underlying focus on serenity is the very essence of this sophisticated home," Jenkins tells LUXE. The sensibility is apparent in the primary bedroom, where two Bright Chair swivel loungers take in the unfolding meadow and mountain views, and layers of refined textures from the bed's velvet upholstery to linen Loro Piana drapes and the sheepskin atop the leather footboard bench engage the senses beneath another lighting-as-sculpture chandelier, this one by John Pomp Studios. Downstairs, Jenkins' "surprise around every corner" approach to the art's presentation includes "managing to seamlessly fold in standouts like a motorcycle-turned-sculpture," writes LUXE of the vibrant teal antique Indian bike raised on a pedestal. In the end, "Beautiful interiors are like an orchestra where each musician is singularly magnificent," Jenkins tells the magazine. "'Come closer,' is what this house commands in a very quiet way." About WRJ Design:Headquartered in Jackson, Wyoming, award-winning WRJ Design is known for a special brand of refined luxury that effortlessly marries the most sophisticated modern furnishings with historically rich, rustic and one-of-a-kind elements.
