January has another name: Veganuary. Although the plant-based-eating push began in the U.K., here in Vegas in January it’s also become known as Vegan Dining Month, due to the efforts of website Vegans, baby. This month, 20 restaurants feature special vegan dishes on the menu, and will donate a portion of the proceeds from each dish to the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada. Check them out at such restaurants as Border Grill at Mandalay Bay, Simply Pure in Container Park, Elizabeth Blau’s Honey Salt, Tacotarian, Mint Indian Restaurant and Violette’s Vegan.

In case you missed it,
the Rio became one of the last Strip-area casino resorts to reopen just before Christmas. (Across the street, the Palms remains shuttered.) Penn & Teller joined other Caesars Entertainment performers to help distribute 20,000 turkeys and cookies to other Las Vegas team members on December 22. Restaurants and bars now open at the Rio include the
All-American Bar & Grille, Hash House A Go Go, VooDoo Steak, Smashburger, KJ Dim Sum & Seafood, iBar, Purple Zebra and the
Masquerade Bar.
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has opened a second location in Henderson at 3552 St. Rose Parkway. The new 2,400-square-foot restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
