Openings

Hamptons at Tivoli Village is in the two-story space previously home to the Greek restaurant Petra, Angelo Sossa’s Poppy Den and a pair of Alex Stratta projects. And it turns out, chef Jay Bogsinske’s limited Las Vegas experience includes some time apprenticing for Stratta at his critically acclaimed Mirage fine-dining restaurant, Renoir. Bogsinske said his former mentor has wished him luck with the venture. The Hamptons’ all-American menu includes deviled eggs, fried avocados, short ribs topped with a fried egg and a deconstructed banana split.

Brett Raymer, star of Animal Planet’s “Tanked,” and members of the cast will host the grand opening of Raymer’s Donut Mania from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the shop at 4460 S. Durango Drive.
