Kings, queens and bishops lined up by the thousands in the Grand Ballroom of the South Point Hotel and Casino.

A trip to the World Tea Expo at Mandalay Bay certainly gave me that impression. In a whirlwind afternoon, I found myself steeped in all things tea.

So shouts the poster in the lobby of the Bootlegger Bistro on South Las Vegas Boulevard. Yes, Kelly Clinton is back, hosting her "Open Mic Cabaret" every Monday night.
