If you served, Rampart's Market Place Buffet in Summerlin is giving veterans a free lunch on Wednesday, Nov 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and you'll need your military ID or DD-214 plus a Rampart Rewards card at the cashier. It's lunch only and just for the veteran (no spouses or dependents), and that lunch normally runs $24.99. Kona Grill and STK are running their own thank-you Nov 9 to 11, where you order any starter and get one of four entrées free, dine-in only, for veterans, active duty, reservists and Gold Star Families (Kona includes first responders too). Both say it's at participating locations, so call Kona Grill at Boca Park or STK at The Cosmopolitan before you go, and STK says to book ahead. South Point's Garden Buffet also still has its free buffet for two on Nov 11, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., for active duty and veterans plus one guest.

Bumble Tea Cafe and Ramen has a permit in at the Gold Key Shops, the little strip mall with Tacos El Gordo near Encore and Resorts World, and co-owner Domingo Baccay Jr. confirmed the plan to WhatNow Las Vegas. The brand's Honolulu shop pairs boba milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies and fresh-pressed sugarcane juice with a self-serve ramen bar, where you pick Japanese, Korean, Thai or vegan noodles, pile on toppings like dumplings, kimchi or mozzarella, and it cooks in about five minutes. There's no opening date yet.
