VEGAS DINING NEWS: Sonic the Hedgehog Pop-Up, $20K Metallica Steak Head to the Strip

The Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Café zooms into Chinatown on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 5600 Spring Mountain Road, Suite A—taking over the space vacated by the One Piece Café earlier this month. The pop‑up—a high‑octane collaboration between Sega and restaurateur Andy Nguyen —has already blazed through San Diego and Chino Hills in California, then Katy, Texas, Atlanta, and, most recently, St. Louis. Its Vegas run brings a fresh batch of locally themed dishes: the Vegas Casino Night Dog, Neon Palace Dog, Shadow’s Ultimate Sandwich, and Big’s Tackle Box, a fish‑and‑chips plate built around beer‑battered Icelandic cod.
