Gratuities are a big deal on the Strip: The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, estimates 180,000 people in the metro area work for tips. But visits to Las Vegas dipped 6.5% during the first five months of the year, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and hotel occupancy was down 14.6% in June compared to the year before, per real estate data company CoStar. That means fewer guests are handing five-dollar bills to bellhops, and fewer tablets are getting swiveled around with various tip percentage options.

Tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves are used for drinking for their flavor. It is the same plant that is used for making black tea (e.g., Assam, Darjeeling, etc.), oolong green tea (Chinese tea), and Japanese green teas (Hojicha, Sencha, Gyokuru, & Matcha). In black tea, oxidation is used in processing the leaves, which are exposed to air, giving them a dark color and smoky flavor. Oolong green tea uses partial oxidation, in which leaves are withered for only a short period.  In Japanese teas, oxidation is prevented, leaving them rich in antioxidants and thus making them more beneficial from a health perspective.
