LAS VEGAS - The wolf pack is back in theaters this week with the release of "The Hangover 3". The film series returns to Las Vegas, and Caesars Palace is making the most of its role.

"The Hangover" fans are heading to the hotel, which gained international attention from the first film. Caesars executives say they routinely hear guests quoting the film.

The casino is capitalizing on the film's popularity by offering villas based on the massive suite seen in the original film. If those suites are a little out of your budget, the resort also offers something more budget-friendly.

"Part of the launch will be new merchandise in all of our retail stores - t-shirts, cups, things like that you haven't seen before that are indicative of things you have seen in the movie," said Kathryn Ashcraft with Caesars Palace.

"The Hangover 3" hit theaters Thursday. It's the third and final installment of the series.

LAS VEGAS -- A third person has been charged in the death of an exotic bird at the Flamingo Hotel's wildlife habitat on the Las Vegas Strip.

According to the Clark County District Attorney's office, Hazhir Kargaran, 26, pleaded no contest Wednesday to three misdemeanors for his role in the beheading of the bird. He will spend two days in the Clark County Detention Center.

Kargaran is a law student at the University of California in Berkeley. Two other men, Justin Teixeira and Eric Cuellar, who were also students at the school were arrested after the Oct. 12 incident.

Teixeira, who is awaiting trial, is accused of grabbing a helmeted guinea fowl named Turk and decapitating the animal. Cuellar has already pleaded guilty to instigating an act of cruelty against an animal.

The star of TLC's hit show "Cake Boss" is bringing a taste of his own home cooking to the Las Vegas Strip.

Buddy Valastro is opening a new restaurant in the Venetian this fall. Appropriately named Buddy V's, the restaurant's menu will be inspired by food served at Valastro's family gatherings, including Sunday gravy and Lisa's linguine and clams with lobster.

Besides classic Italian pasta dishes, the restaurant will have a wide selection of desserts.

Valastro is best known for his fun personality, and the elaborate cakes that he creates with his team in his New Jersey-based bakery.
