Clad in an armorlike covering, they’re hand-painted locally, sport the team’s logo in enamel and are designed to resemble the team’s home and away uniforms. They’re available at local retailers and online at beaujoiechampagne.com, where they’re $99 each.

Openings and closings
Divine Dosa & Biryani, from the team behind Mint Indian Bistro, has opened at 3049 Las Vegas Blvd. South, in the Gold Key Shops next to Encore. Native to South India, the dosa is a thick crepe-like bread made with rice batter; Divine serves more than 30 types, such as plain, masala, butter, onion, butter-onion and paper dosas, which are particularly thin and crisp. They’re served in the traditional manner, with chutneys and sambhar, a spicy lentil curry. And there’s a 4-foot dosa for those who like a challenge. The restaurant also serves Indo-Chinese dishes, biryani, samosas, kebabs, naan and more and has a lassi bar. Call 702-987-1500 or visit divinedosa.com.
Kyklos Greek Cafe, that rare independent restaurant inside a mall food court, closed Sunday night after 18 years at the Galleria at Sunset in Henderson.

Frangakis said his brothers, with whom he founded the restaurant, will take it over and operate it under a different name.
