NEW YORK-NEW YORK — Shake Shack is on the verge of opening its first West Coast location, and now you can see the entire menu, including Vegas-only versions of its Concrete ice cream desserts. See whether you think Shake Shack can over take In-N-Out Burger as the top burger chain.

VENETIAN — Yardbird Southern Table & Bar plans to open by Dec. 30. Here, a look at the incredible collection of black-and-white celebrity photos from John R. Hamilton that will bring Steve McQueen, John Wayne and Ann-Margret to the restaurant. Plus, look in on the progress of this highly anticipated restaurant.
