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.

The owner of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is considering moving a second NASCAR Sprint Cup race to Las Vegas.

Bruton Smith owns Speedway Motorsports Inc., which has eight tracks in several areas around the country, including Las Vegas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Smith told a TV station in Charlotte that he is considering moving the Charlotte Bank of America 500 that runs in October to Las Vegas. Smith said he can make a lot more money with 10-year contract in Las Vegas.

He must request the move through NASCAR, but, according to the Sporting News, the organization has not stopped a realignment request since the rule was adopted 10 years ago.

"They have made me offers to move one. NASCAR would approve of this. It is something in the stages now for at least a year. When the game is over, it will be money, money, money. Money will move it," Smith said.

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas man pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for his role in the embezzlement of nearly $5.6 million from Turnberry Associates, Nevada's U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said Monday.

Rocco Lazazzaro, 55, is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 22 by U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro. Turnberry Associates owned or developed the Residences at MGM, Town Square shopping center, Turnberry Place, Turnberry Towers and the Stirling Club in Las Vegas.

According to Lazazzaro's plea agreement, he and Hope Ippoliti, 51, the former controller for Turnberry Associates, conspired from May 2007 through January 2012 to steal roughly $3.7 million from the company and its affiliates. The government stated that Ippoliti created fund transfer requests containing false information that the money was intended for business-related purposes when she and Lazazzaro actually intended to withdraw the funds for personal use.
