If you’ve been meaning to try David Chang’s quick-serve slider diner Moon Palace (across from his dynamic Majordomo at the Palazzo) but haven’t made it yet, now’s the time. The king of the Momofuku empire has upgraded his menu of tasty beef baby burgers, egg-and-cheese breakfast sliders and chocolate-dipped pancake marshmallow Whoopie pies with some irresistible new creations.

Basically, you’re going to have to order one of everything.

New to Moon Palace’s offerings are a spicy chicken sandwich ($7) that falls somewhere between Nashville hot and classic Buffalo, with creamy ranch and thinly sliced cucumbers; and a prime rib French dip ($8), which makes use of some of that supreme beef from Majordomo plus caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, horseradish cream and a tiny cup of au jus for dipping. Both come sprawled across a pair of sweet Hawaiian buns, just like the sliders, and each of them are big and delicious enough for a suitable lunch, more so if you add freshly fried potato chips ($4). You can’t really say that about a pair of sliders from that other place.

But that doesn’t matter, because you have to eat everything, remember?

MOON PALACE Palazzo, 702-607-3060. Thursday-Monday, 9 a.m.-midnight.
