TODAY’S HAPPY HOURS & EATS 🍗🍷
If you’ve been suffering from a severe lack of chicken and biscuits in your life, you can remedy that on Monday when Bojangles, the popular southern fast food chain, opens its first Las Vegas location.
It’s located at Rainbow and Blue Diamond, and, yes, it’s a bit of a haul to the south (pretty fitting!), but it’s a lot closer than Texas, which is the next nearest location!
Sadly, no opening specials, which I think is a bit of a fail to be honest.

Did You Know? đź¤
Approximately 1 in 18 humans have a third nipple.
That's a lot of extra nipples to pass randomly on the street!
While it may sound like something out of a superhero comic, a third nipple, officially called a supernumerary nipple, is actually just a harmless quirk of biology. These bonus body features usually show up along the "milk lines," which run from your armpits to your groin - a throwback to our mammalian roots. During development, most of these milk lines vanish, but every so often, a little extra nipple decides to stick around like the friend who didn't take the hint that the party was over.
In a bit of bummer news, most people who have these extra nipples don't even know the treasures they possess. Third nipples can be so subtle they're often mistaken for moles or birthmarks. It’s only once in a while they come fully-formed with all the flair of the originals. They can even grow hair or change color, which really takes "matching accessories" to a whole new level.
Weirdly enough, these quirky nipples are more common in men than in women, though they can appear on anyone.
So, why on earth would humans have extra nipples in the first place? It’s all about evolution. Mammals - our cousins in the animal kingdom - often have multiple nipples to feed litters of offspring. Humans, being the minimalists we are, only kept two for practical reasons, but some people's bodies just didn't get the memo. Supernumerary nipples are a little evolutionary souvenir, a reminder of the days when our ancestors needed extra options to feed their many, many young.
And while third nipples are totally harmless (obvy), they have certainly sparked plenty of myths and curiosities over the years. Some have called them a sign of witchcraft (thanks, medieval Europe), while others have seen them as a mark of luck or uniqueness. Today, most people just accept them as a quirky fact of life, and if anything, those full-fledge third nipples, make for a great icebreaker at parties.

AROUND THE VALLEY 🏨 ⚽️
Here are some things Around the Valley we think might be of interest -
The MGM is Getting a Makeover 🏨
In a time when it feels like a lot of older Strip casinos are coming down, the MGM is on its way up… or so it hopes. The resort has announced a hella renovation (like $300 million and some seriously fancy room upgrades). The biz starts in March and is supposed to be finished by the end of the year, so I guess they plan on sticking around for a while.
Things are About to Get Messi ⚽️
Want to see a true legend play soccer? Well, Inter Miami CF and Lionel Messi play a pre-season game against Club América tomorrow at Allegiant Stadium. You can still find plenty of tickets on reseller sites. So, you know, if you’re feeling some kind of way, you do have options.
