The new Hello Kitty pop-up will be located inside a hot pink shipping container at The Park, which is an outdoor dining space right on iconic Las Vegas The Strip. Like the other two locations in California, the new cafe will be entirely pink with a menu chocked full of sweet treats such as pistachio-filled Keroppi donuts, character-shaped croissants, [milk tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-friends-boba), and more. There will also be plenty of [Hello Kitty merch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruno-mars-and-hello-kitty) for fans to buy, such as baseball caps and tote bags. For the grand opening on July 12th, the pop-up will be visited by a certain cartoon kitty.
