😋 Stix Asia to Replace The Sundry at UnCommons, Bringing Authentic Asian Dining to Las Vegas

A major culinary shift is coming to UnCommons in southwest Las Vegas as Stix Asia, the acclaimed Asian food hall from Honolulu, prepares to take over the space left vacant by the sudden closure of The Sundry last June. Unlike its predecessor, Stix Asia is set to abandon the digital ordering systems that frustrated many customers and focus instead on creating a more personal, hospitality-driven experience.

At the heart of this transformation will be the elimination of QR code ordering, a feature heavily used by The Sundry but often criticized for being impersonal and inefficient. Instead, Stix Asia will emphasize human interaction, bringing the traditional hospitality of Asian dining to life in a space that celebrates culture, passion, and world-class food.

A Fresh Take on the Food Hall Concept

Frank Clark, CEO of Stix Asia, revealed that the new Las Vegas location will house around a dozen distinct dining concepts within an 18,000-square-foot space—slightly downsized from the original Honolulu location’s 16 vendors across 23,500 square feet. The opening is slated for the first quarter of 2026.

While vendor contracts haven’t been finalized yet, Clark confirmed that the food hall will feature a mix of 75% Japanese cuisine and 25% other Asian culinary influences. Some popular vendors from Stix Asia’s Honolulu location have already expressed interest in expanding to Las Vegas, and Clark noted that all participating eateries will be first-time entrants to the Vegas market.

What’s on the Menu?

Though specific vendors are yet to be announced, Clark shared potential concepts for the new food hall, which will bring a diverse range of authentic Asian flavors to Las Vegas:

  • Ramen and Udon: Served in a neon-lit noodle alley

  • Yakitori Skewers & Takoyaki Balls: Quick bites from a vibrant outdoor bar setting

  • Tokyo Sushi Experience: Featuring chefs from renowned Japanese establishments

  • Dim Sum Delights: Including xiao long bao (soup dumplings)

  • Pho and Vietnamese Cuisine: Authentic bowls of steaming noodles and broth

  • Thai Street Food: Offering bold, spicy flavors from Southeast Asia

  • Onigiri Rice Balls: A Japanese comfort food classic

  • Asian Cocktails: Crafted at a large indoor bar, with unique flavor profiles

Clark also expressed openness to including a Hawaiian concept, paying homage to Las Vegas' nickname as the “Ninth Island” due to its strong Hawaiian community.

A Design Focus on Comfort and Culture

One of the significant changes that Stix Asia will bring to the space is a complete overhaul of the food hall’s layout. Unlike The Sundry’s confusing vendor setup and disjointed seating arrangement, each restaurant within Stix Asia will function as a distinct establishment with its own dedicated dining area.

Clark emphasized that this new design will create a more intuitive and comfortable experience for guests, allowing diners to immerse themselves in each restaurant’s unique ambiance and culinary focus.

Why Stix Asia Chose Las Vegas

Stix Asia had always considered expanding to Las Vegas, and when news broke of The Sundry’s closure, the opportunity became too significant to ignore. The company quickly initiated discussions with Matter Real Estate Group, the developer behind the $850 million UnCommons project.

Jim Stuart, a partner at Matter Real Estate, highlighted the gap in the market for authentic, high-quality Asian cuisine in Las Vegas. Stix Asia’s deep connections to Asia’s culinary traditions and its reputation for excellence made it the perfect fit to fill that void.

The closure of The Sundry served as a learning moment for the developers, who acknowledged that reliance on QR code ordering systems and a lack of personalized service had contributed to its failure.

A Culinary Experience Beyond Food

What sets Stix Asia apart from other food halls is its dedication to offering more than just meals—it’s about creating an immersive dining experience. Stuart, who traveled to Tokyo to meet the Stix Asia team, described the importance of live culinary theater in Japanese dining.

Guests can expect:

  • The sizzle of yakitori skewers over open flames

  • The aromas of freshly made ramen

  • The visual artistry of sushi preparation at the counter

This hands-on, sensory-driven approach to food is central to the Stix Asia experience, where the passion and craftsmanship of each chef become as much a part of the meal as the dishes themselves.

A New Chapter for UnCommons

With an official lease signed on January 31, the deal reflects the confidence both Stix Asia and Matter Real Estate Group have in the success of this new venture. The partnership promises to bring a wave of innovation, culture, and culinary expertise to southwest Las Vegas.

For food lovers and those seeking authentic Asian dining experiences, Stix Asia is poised to become a must-visit destination—offering a true taste of Asia without ever leaving Las Vegas.

🏒 Golden Knights Collapse in Third Period, Fall 5-2 to Kings

The Knights held a 2-1 advantage heading into the final period, thanks to goals from Mark Stone and Brayden McNabb in the second. However, the momentum vanished just 42 seconds into the third, when Trevor Moore scored his second goal of the night for Los Angeles.

A turnover at the offensive blue line gave the Kings a two-on-one opportunity, and Moore capitalized with a shot from the left faceoff circle, tying the game at 2-2. From that point on, Vegas struggled to regain control.

The Kings poured on three more goals from:

  • Warren Foegele

  • Joel Edmundson

  • Kevin Fiala

The Knights’ defensive breakdowns and turnovers allowed Los Angeles to dominate, with four goals on just seven third-period shots.

Costly Defensive Mistakes and Goaltending Woes

Goaltender Ilya Samsonov had a rough outing, allowing five goals on 19 shots. Defensive lapses plagued the Knights, particularly their inability to clear the puck from their own zone. Crucial mistakes by Alex Pietrangelo and a miscommunication between Noah Hanifin and Raphael Lavoie led directly to goals that sealed the Kings’ comeback.

A Fast-Paced First Two Periods

The game began with the Kings taking an early lead, as Moore deflected a shot from Quinton Byfield for a power-play goal midway through the first period. Los Angeles controlled the pace early, outshooting the Knights 8-1 through the first 12 minutes.

Vegas responded in the second period:

  • Brayden McNabb tied the game on his 798th NHL appearance, capitalizing on a pass from Tomas Hertl.

  • Mark Stone gave Vegas the lead by tipping in a point shot from Hanifin, making it 2-1 with just over three minutes left in the period.

Despite their second-period dominance—limiting the Kings to just four shots—the Knights couldn’t maintain their composure in the final 20 minutes.

Coach Cassidy’s Frustration with Missed Opportunities

Coach Bruce Cassidy criticized his team’s lack of focus in the third period, acknowledging the need for greater resilience in high-pressure games—especially with the playoffs approaching. Cassidy highlighted the self-inflicted nature of the defeat, noting that poor puck management and turnovers at critical moments cost the Knights the game.

Three Key Takeaways from the Loss

1. McNabb Nearing 800 NHL Games

Veteran defenseman Brayden McNabb scored against his former team as he approaches a major milestone of 800 career games. Monday’s game marked his 560th appearance with Vegas, setting a franchise record for most games played by a Golden Knights player.

2. Hanifin’s Solid Performance Despite Team Struggles

While the Knights faltered overall, Noah Hanifin delivered a strong individual performance. He assisted on Stone’s goal and made key defensive plays around the net, preventing additional scoring chances for the Kings.

3. Defensive Errors Prove Costly

Two of the Kings’ third-period goals stemmed from the Knights’ inability to clear the puck from their zone. Foegele’s go-ahead goal came after Alex Pietrangelo failed to clear the puck, while Edmundson’s insurance goal resulted from a miscue between Hanifin and Lavoie.

What’s Next for the Golden Knights?

The loss drops Vegas to 34-18-6 on the season, including a 15-3-1 record against Pacific Division opponents, with two of those losses coming against Los Angeles. The Knights will look to bounce back when they return home on Thursday to start a five-game homestand against the Chicago Blackhawks.

As the playoff race tightens, the Knights will need to address their defensive issues and refocus if they hope to make a deep postseason run.

😋 International Eatery Cafe Landwer Set to Open in Boca Park, Offering Mediterranean Menu and Wine

Las Vegas is poised to welcome Cafe Landwer, an internationally acclaimed Mediterranean restaurant, at 8704 W. Charleston Blvd., Suite 101—the space previously occupied by the popular Chinglish Cantonese Wine Bar in Boca Park. The Las Vegas Planning Commission will vote on March 11 on a special use permit that would allow full on-premise alcohol service, a crucial step in finalizing the restaurant’s approval.

The arrival of Cafe Landwer marks a significant shift for the space, which had previously housed both Chinglish Cantonese Wine Bar and its next-door sibling, Kosher Chinglish. The sudden closure of these two beloved dining spots last summer left a void in the local culinary scene, particularly for fans of modern Chinese cuisine and kosher options.

A Century-Old Legacy with Global Reach

Cafe Landwer traces its roots back to Berlin in 1919, when Moshe Landwer opened a coffee house that quickly became a local institution. With the rise of the Nazi Party in 1933, the Landwer family emigrated to Israel, where the brand flourished and became a staple of Israeli café culture. Today, Cafe Landwer operates around 80 locations across Israel, alongside several international outposts in:

  • Los Angeles

  • Miami

  • Massachusetts

  • Canada

Now, Las Vegas is set to join the global network, with hints of the opening already appearing in the restaurant’s Instagram bio (@cafelandwerusa), signaling an imminent debut in Southern Nevada.

A Diverse Mediterranean Menu with Global Flair

Cafe Landwer’s menu blends Mediterranean cuisine with modern culinary trends, offering a broad array of dishes suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests can expect a flavorful journey featuring:

  • Breakfast Specialties: A standout is the halloumi and egg sandwich, combining grilled cheese with fresh vegetables and artisan bread.

  • Mezze Plates: Classic Mediterranean starters like baba ganoush, labneh topped with matbucha (a traditional tomato-pepper stew), and a variety of dips and spreads.

  • Flatbreads and Hummus: Including lahmajoun, a thin flatbread layered with seasoned beef and lamb, and creative hummus variations with diverse toppings.

  • Main Courses: Grilled meats like kebabs, shawarma platters, and seafood dishes, including a spicy Moroccan white fish.

  • Salads and Pastas: Fresh salads with Mediterranean spices and ingredients, paired with pasta dishes that offer a modern twist on classic flavors.

  • Desserts and Beverages: A range of pastries, specialty coffees, and teas to round out the dining experience.

Plans for Renovation and Expansion

Public records show that the renovation of the former Chinglish space began in November 2024, with a series of commercial building and fire permits filed. The scope of renovations includes:

  • Demolition of existing walls and ceilings

  • Electrical and plumbing upgrades for a modern kitchen setup

  • Installation of new fire suppression systems and ductwork

  • Modifications to the existing kitchen to suit Cafe Landwer’s Mediterranean cooking style

  • Installation of new illuminated signage

The restaurant will feature a 3,200-square-foot indoor space along with a 1,600-square-foot terrace, offering an al fresco dining option ideal for Las Vegas’ warmer months. It remains unclear whether Cafe Landwer will also take over Suite 103, formerly occupied by Kosher Chinglish.

Awaiting Final Approval

The upcoming March 11 vote by the Las Vegas Planning Commission will determine whether Cafe Landwer secures a special use permit for on-premise alcohol service. Approval would allow the restaurant to serve its signature selection of wines, craft cocktails, and Mediterranean-inspired drinks, further enhancing the dining experience.

Reviving Boca Park’s Culinary Scene

The arrival of Cafe Landwer has the potential to reinvigorate Boca Park’s dining scene following the unexpected closure of Chinglish’s two popular establishments. The new restaurant will bring a distinct international flair to the neighborhood, combining a rich culinary heritage with contemporary trends in Mediterranean dining.

If approved, Cafe Landwer could open its doors in the coming months, offering Las Vegas residents and visitors an exciting new spot for flavorful dishes, quality coffee, and a globally inspired ambiance.

 House Republicans Push to Advance Trump’s $4.5 Trillion Tax-Cut and Border Plan Amid Divisions

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is preparing for a critical vote on Tuesday to advance President Donald Trump’s sweeping $4.5 trillion tax-cut and border security plan. With a narrow 218-215 majority, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) faces a difficult challenge rallying enough support from within his own party to move forward.

The proposal, which combines significant tax cuts with funding for migrant deportations, enhanced border security, energy deregulation, and increased military spending, has met resistance from both moderate Republicans and fiscal hardliners within the party.

Internal GOP Divisions Threaten Passage

A small but influential group of conservative Republicans has voiced opposition to the bill, criticizing the projected $2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years as insufficient to address the nation’s growing debt, which currently exceeds $36 trillion. These lawmakers are pushing for deeper cuts to offset the plan’s massive tax reductions and spending increases.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and at least two other Republicans have expressed concerns that the proposal would worsen the federal deficit rather than improve it. Their stance has garnered the backing of billionaire Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency is actively working to reduce the size of the federal workforce and cut government programs.

Adding to the complexity, the measure would authorize the government to take on an additional $4 trillion in debt, pushing the nation closer to another standoff over the federal debt ceiling later this year. If Congress fails to raise the self-imposed borrowing limit in time, it could risk a catastrophic default.

Swing-District Republicans Demand Safeguards

Beyond concerns over federal spending, Republicans representing swing districts and those with large Hispanic constituencies are wary of deep budget cuts that could affect vital social programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and scholarship funding. These lawmakers have signaled they will not support the measure unless safeguards are put in place to protect services for low-income Americans and U.S. citizens.

There were signs of progress late Monday, with some moderates indicating they had received assurances that Medicaid and other federal support programs would remain intact. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) said negotiations appeared to be moving in good faith, with Republican leadership adjusting numbers to accommodate these concerns.

Key Votes and Behind-the-Scenes Negotiations

The House is scheduled to vote at 1:30 p.m. ET on whether to begin formal debate on the budget resolution, with a final vote on the bill itself expected around 6 p.m. ET. However, whether those votes proceed on schedule remains uncertain, as behind-the-scenes negotiations continue to sway undecided Republicans.

Speaker Johnson has maintained cautious optimism, stating that he expects the House to complete the process by the end of the week, though he has avoided making any firm predictions about Tuesday’s vote.

Senate Republicans Prepare Contingency Plan

Uncertainty in the House has led Senate Republicans to prepare a fallback budget resolution of their own. Last week, the Senate passed a $340 billion measure focusing on Trump’s priorities for border security, defense, and energy without addressing the more contentious tax policy issues.

If the House effort fails, Senate Republicans could attempt to use their version of the budget as a starting point for negotiations later in the year, especially if House Republicans remain divided.

What’s at Stake

Beyond tax cuts and border security, the outcome of this vote will shape the trajectory of Trump’s legislative agenda for the rest of the year. Should House Republicans succeed, the budget resolution would unlock a special parliamentary tool, allowing them to bypass Democratic opposition and the Senate filibuster—a key advantage in enacting Trump’s priorities.

However, if internal divisions persist, Republican leaders risk delaying or derailing significant parts of Trump’s second-term goals, potentially weakening their position ahead of the upcoming elections.

🎰 Inside Nevada’s Infamous ‘Black Book’: A History of the State’s Most Notorious Casino Bans

The Nevada Gaming Control Board’s List of Excluded Persons, known as the “Black Book”, holds the names of individuals permanently banned from entering casinos across the state. The list, created in 1960, is reserved for individuals with deep ties to organized crime, cheating operations, or other illicit activities that pose a threat to the integrity of Nevada’s gaming industry.

Currently, 37 individuals are on the list, which remains significantly shorter than exclusion lists in other states, such as New Jersey’s more expansive roster of over 850 names. Nevada’s more concise list is intentional, ensuring that casino operators can more effectively monitor and prevent these individuals from entering their establishments.

Why the Black Book Exists

The Nevada Gaming Commission created the Black Book to uphold the integrity of the state’s thriving casino industry by targeting high-profile figures associated with criminal activity, including cheating schemes like manipulating slot machines, marking cards, or distracting casino staff to facilitate theft.

The responsibility of keeping these individuals out of casinos lies with the casinos themselves. Typically, names are only removed from the list when the individuals pass away, a process that requires verification through death certificates—a challenge when those individuals move abroad or remain off the radar.

A Legacy Tied to Organized Crime

The original Black Book contained 11 names, primarily associated with organized crime syndicates that infiltrated Las Vegas casinos in the 1950s and 1960s. Over the decades, around 80 people have appeared on the list, with over 30 removed—most often due to death. Many of these figures played pivotal roles in the city’s darker history, with some of their stories now preserved at the Mob Museum in downtown Las Vegas.

Here are some of the most notorious figures who were once on the list:

1. Frank Larry “Lefty” Rosenthal

  • Inducted: November 30, 1988

  • Removed: January 27, 2009
    Rosenthal, once the entertainment director of the Stardust and other Argent Corp. casinos, was linked to organized crime operations in Las Vegas. He pleaded no contest to conspiracy charges involving bribery of a college basketball player. His life inspired Martin Scorsese’s film “Casino”, where he was portrayed as Sam “Ace” Rothstein by Robert De Niro.

2. Anthony Joseph “Tony the Ant” Spilotro

  • Inducted: December 2, 1978

  • Removed: October 21, 1986
    The Chicago Outfit’s enforcer in Las Vegas, Spilotro became infamous for his violent tactics. His body was discovered in an Indiana cornfield in 1986 after a brutal mob execution. His criminal life was also depicted in “Casino” as Nicky Santoro, portrayed by Joe Pesci.

3. Sam Giancana

  • Inducted: June 13, 1960

  • Removed: December 19, 1975
    Giancana was a notorious Chicago mob boss with alleged CIA connections. His criminal empire extended to various Las Vegas casinos like the Sands, Riviera, and Desert Inn, generating an estimated $2 billion annually for organized crime. His influence reportedly extended to political circles, including suspected involvement in the 1960 presidential election and CIA plots to assassinate Fidel Castro.

4. Herbert “Fat Herbie” Blitzstein

  • Inducted: January 7, 1997

  • Removed: May 22, 1997
    A lieutenant under Spilotro, Blitzstein was found dead from a gunshot wound in his Las Vegas home, with many believing the murder was a mob hit. His criminal activities were extensively covered by murdered journalist Jeff German of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

5. Carl James Civella & Nicholas Civella

  • Inducted: June 13, 1960

  • Removed: December 19, 1996 (Carl) and April 18, 1983 (Nicholas)
    The Civella brothers, powerful mob bosses from Kansas City, were linked to illegal skimming operations at the Tropicana and other Las Vegas casinos.

6. Murray Lewellyn Humphreys

  • Inducted: June 13, 1960

  • Removed: January 23, 1975
    A close associate of Al Capone and lieutenant under Giancana, Humphreys managed many of the Chicago Outfit’s West Coast operations and had deep ties to Las Vegas’s criminal enterprises.

7. Michael Coppola

  • Inducted: June 13, 1960

  • Removed: January 13, 1975
    A New York mob enforcer with connections to drug trafficking, Coppola later relocated to Miami but continued his criminal dealings.

8. Louis Tom Dragna

  • Inducted: June 13, 1960

  • Removed: May 22, 2014
    A major figure in Los Angeles’ organized crime scene, Dragna was described as the city’s mafia boss, with an arrest record dating back to the 1940s.

Why Nevada’s Black Book Remains Small

Unlike states with longer exclusion lists, Nevada has kept the Black Book concise to make enforcement more manageable for casino operators. While other jurisdictions, like New Jersey, have added hundreds of names over the years, Nevada’s approach remains focused on the most serious threats to the integrity of its gaming industry.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board regularly reviews the list, removing names only when individuals have died or, in rare cases, when legal circumstances change. This selective approach reflects the state’s commitment to ensuring its exclusion list remains a meaningful tool against organized crime and gambling fraud.

A Symbol of Nevada’s Fight Against Crime

The Black Book remains a powerful symbol of Nevada’s dedication to protecting its gaming industry from criminal influence. While many of the original mobsters have passed away and been removed from the list, their stories continue to fascinate visitors to Las Vegas, serving as a reminder of the city’s complex and often turbulent history.
