From our Today's News pages: "As part of the fruits of its $125 million property-wide renovation, Tropicana Las Vegas today announced it's to open two new restaurants: Havana Go Go Cafe is a breakfast joint/cafe open daily at 7 a.m. Menu items include Cuban bread pizza, paninis, deli-style sandwiches, soups, salads, bagels, muffins and a range of specialty coffees and will debut shortly in the Island Tower soon. Bacio Pasta & Vino is an Italian bistro that debuted today and will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m."
Talk is cheap but Alex Yemenidjian is quickly establishing that he means what he says. Now if he can get that balky Wayne Newton contract settled, he'll have a proper headliner for the joint. It's cheering to see some of the entrepreneurial spirit that made Las Vegas great but which has lately been smothered by a Wall Street-driven mania for competition-killing mergers and acquisitions.
