Eat and Vote: The Las Vegas BBQ Festival runs Sat Nov 7 at Red Rock Harley-Davidson

The Corner Store, the SoHo hot spot from Catch Hospitality Group, opens at The Cosmopolitan on Monday, Nov 9, and its Vegas menu is now up on the restaurant's site. Look for the Lobster & Caviar Roll, Five Cheese Pizza Rolls with pepperoni, 'nduja and Calabrian honey, a Caesar with cream cheese croquettes and everything bagel croutons, and a Butcher's Counter section led by a Wagyu French Dip made with 72-hour Westholme ribeye. The martini list includes a Sour Cream & Onion, a Tomato and Oli's Dirty with mascarpone caviar olives. Know the house rules before you book, since Cosmopolitan says no one under 10 is allowed, guests under 21 must finish by 7 p.m. and can't sit at the bar, and the dress code is smart elegant.

Rumi Room moved its Persian and Indo-Pak restaurant to The Bend on West Sunset in October, and WhatNow says the public grand opening party is Saturday, Nov 7, from 5 to 7 p.m. It's a good excuse to try the kabobs, like beef koobideh and beef soltani with saffron basmati, or go the other way with chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and lamb, and the restaurant says it uses only prime halal meats.

Tamba, the James Beard-finalist Indian restaurant at Town Square, has a new menu from Chef Anand Singh built around the flavors of the Himalayas, and News 3 says it includes butter oysters, charred octopus, a tamarind-spiced hamachi crudo and sea bass with mountain curry. The bar also has a new list called The Journey, 24 cocktails split into six chapters (Tamba's site names them Renewal, Joy, Curiosity, Confidence, Passion and Celebration), with zero-proof versions and walk-ins welcome at the bar. Tamba is open daily from 5 to 10 p.m., and parking at Town Square is free.

Caesars has posted its Thanksgiving plans, and the splurge is Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris, where a three-course tasting menu built around a Turkey Wellington with sticky toffee pudding is $159.99 on Thu Nov 26 from 4 to 10:30 p.m. The same night, Guy Fieri's at The LINQ does a smoked turkey leg menu for $59.99, Ruth's Chris and Ramsay's Kitchen at Harrah's and Bugsy & Meyer's at Flamingo are $89.95, and GIADA at The Vanderpump Hotel is $129. If you'd rather eat at home, The Bedford by Martha Stewart sells Thanksgiving to go from $129.99, but you have to pre-order by Tue Nov 24 and pick up on Nov 26 only, and Dominique Ansel at Caesars Palace and Paris sells bourbon pecan, pumpkin and salted caramel apple pies for $70.99 (whole pies hit the cases Nov 14). Locals with a Caesars Rewards card and a Nevada ID still get 25% off eligible dining through Dec 26.

Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops is doing Friendsgiving on Wed Nov 25 with a shareable 112-ounce grande margarita or grande mimosa for $88, which is a lot of drink for a group on the Strip-side patio. Then on Black Friday, Nov 27, show a same-day Miracle Mile shopping receipt and you get 10% off your bill, so brunch plates like the $17.99 eggs benedict or chilaquiles con huevos get a little cheaper, and brunch runs daily from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
