That’s a lotta barbecue

To kick off National Barbecue Month, which starts Wednesday, Smoked Burgers & BBQ at The Forum Shops at Caesars is introducing an all-you-can-eat option. It starts at 11:30 a.m. daily. For $49, you can fill up on as much barbecued pork, chicken and ribs as you’d like, as well as beef sliders, smoked chicken wings, Louisiana hot links and side dishes.

Book signing

Christina Tosi, founder/owner of Milk Bar at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, will sign copies of her three cookbooks from 3:30-4:30 p.m. May 11, following her sold-out brunch and truffle-making class that’s part of Vegas Uncork’d. The signing will be at the seating area on the second floor adjacent to The Chandelier bar. Copies of her “All About Cake,” “Milk Bar Life: Recipes & Stories” and “Momofuku Milk Bar” will be available for $37 each, which includes a signed personalization, meet-and-greet and photo op.
