Hello Kitty Cafe Truck returns to Las Vegas for 1 day only

Hello Kitty, famously, does not have a mouth. But that hasn’t stopped her from having a food truck.

On Saturday, the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck continues its 2023 tour of the West (and returns to Las Vegas) with a stop from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Macy’s Promenade, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, in Downtown Summerlin.

Among the food and drink items on offer:

— Hello Kitty giant cookies.

— Hello Kitty decorated cookie sets.

— Hello Kitty madeleine cookie sets.

— Hello Kitty Cafe lunchbox.

— Hello Kitty Cafe thermos.

There are also Hello Kitty T-shirts, canvas totes, enamel pin sets and other items.

Hello Kitty Cafe Truck accepts only credit and debit card payments. After Vegas, the truck continues its tour with a stop in Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 18.

The truck debuted in October 2014 as part of a food-related venture from Sanrio, the Japanese company that owns Hello Kitty. To date, two trucks have traveled to more than 100 cities across the U.S.

The first Hello Kitty item, a vinyl coin purse, debuted in Japan in 1975. Today, Kitty White (that’s her name) is an OG of global pop culture. Before K-pop, there was Kitty.

(Full disclosure: This writer has a vintage Hello Kitty carry-on purchased years ago in Asia. And no, you cannot buy it off me for your child as we’re standing in the airport security line. That request? Bad Kitty.)
