Yum! Brands Inc., now more reliant on its Taco Bell chain to fuel growth, is opening a booze-serving flagship restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip to help invigorate the Mexican-food brand.

The new location will offer a retail shop, bar menu and all-night operating hours -- the first time a Taco Bell has tried that combination. Yum also is updating the Taco Bell logo for the first time in decades, part of a plan to add 2,000 Taco Bells globally by 2022 and become a $15 billion business.
