Pin-Up Pizza
Retro-themed Pin-Up Pizza opened in Planet Hollywood on Jan. 9.
The eatery might be small at just over 690 square feet, but its 15-inch New York-style slices are a huge hit.
The limited room means the pizza place, which held its grand opening Feb. 7, doesn’t offer tables or seating.
The dining spot does feature waitresses dressed in 1950s-style rockabilly attire and pizza starting at $4.75 per slice.
Pin-Up Pizza is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Tony Roma’s
The Tony Roma’s location in Henderson quietly closed its doors early last month.
The restaurant, which was located at 555 N. Stephanie St., shut down Jan. 7 due to a disagreement over rent increases, according to Tony Roma President Ken Myres.
Myers said the restaurant had two leases that required renewal, and the asked-for hike in rent during lease negotiations was simply too much.
The closure will not affect the Tony Roma’s in the Las Vegas Fremont Hotel. Myers said the company is definitely interested in opening another location in Las Vegas, though no timeline has been set.
