Four Sixes Ranch Steakhouse, the "Yellowstone" creator's steakhouse that ran as a pop-up at Wynn starting in 2024, is getting a permanent home at MGM Grand in early 2027, in the space Crush American Grill left behind. MGM says the menu will be new, built around prime beef and cuts that come straight from Sheridan's 260,000-acre Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, with Texas-style recipes, craft cocktails and rare spirits to go with it. The dining room is being designed by Charisse Cardenas, who did production design for "Landman" and "Lioness," and its walls will run custom footage of the American West from Sheridan. An exact opening date and the menu haven't been announced yet.
Cafe 86, the Filipino-American ube café that started in Chino Hills in 2014, is building its first Henderson location on South Eastern Avenue just south of the 215, and it's aiming for a winter opening. Expect ube truffles, ube leche flan cupcakes and other purple yam pastries, plus halo-halo, milk teas, milkshakes, coffee and sandwiches. Until it opens, the valley's existing Cafe 86 is on South Jones Boulevard.
Butcher & Thief, chef Cory Harwell's neighborhood steakhouse on West Sunset Road, has a new fall menu with a $30 sausage rigatoni that swaps gin into the tomato sauce, a $14 Chicago clam chowder that mixes Manhattan and New England styles with Italian sausage, and grilled scallops in garlic chili butter for $21. Two Wagyu cuts join the steak list, a 6-ounce Westholme flank for $38 and a 6-ounce A5 tri-tip from Kagoshima for $79, and dessert now includes a pineapple upside-down sundae and a gluten-free carrot cake. Happy hour still runs daily from 3 to 5:30 p.m., so it's an easy way to try the place without going all in on steak.
Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca at Green Valley Ranch is turning brunch into a kids Halloween party on Saturday, Oct 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For $19 per child, kids get a brunch entrée, pumpkin decorating, a costume raffle entry and a candy bag to take home, while parents order off the regular brunch menu with a live DJ and a Halloween cocktail. Costumes are encouraged for everyone, and the restaurant recommends reserving because space is limited.
China Poblano at The Cosmopolitan is marking Día de los Muertos from Oct 26 through Nov 8 with a special menu and an ofrenda honoring the late chef Steven Chin and Mexican comedy icon Roberto Gómez Bolaños, and Chin's own kung pao chicken, Combination #2, comes back for the run. The Review-Journal lists a $16 duck tamal with mole negro and a $28 oxtail and beef shank mole de olla among the specials, and the bar is pouring the Love Never Dies, the Welcome Home and a classic Batanga.
