Tourists gradually discovered the family’s century-old traditional recipes, many of the dishes from Northern Thailand, with their own unique flavors and characteristics. The original location opened in 1999 in a worn-down strip mall on East Sahara shoehorned in between a billiards hall and a massage parlor.* The tiny hole-in-the-wall that began with a lunch buffet and only a dozen tables instantly proved to be wildly popular with locals. Lotus of Siam is an iconic name on the now-dynamic Las Vegas food scene. The new Lotus of Siam restaurant location at Red Rock Casino has lost something by going more upscale. During part of our meal, there was live music, in the lounge area, near the bar, but the volume was not in any way intrusive.Restaurant Review: Lotus of Siam (Red Rock Casino) All of our food was very good, and perfectly prepared. I did a Biale Black Chicken Napa Zinfandel for my Filet, and then a Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Pinot Noir, with my wife’s Fried Chicken. Though billed as a steakhouse, the menu is varied, and though the wine list does focus a bit on the bigger reds (obviously a nod to steaks), it is also varied, so that we found everything that we wanted, pairing a Paul Hobbs Ross Station Chardonnay with a Lobster Bisque. Service was very good, and efficient, without making one feel rushed. The main dining area is separate in spatial terms, as well as in décor, and style - much, much more sedate, and more to our liking.

While that bar area is visually arresting, we prefer being away from the bar scene. We were seated in the dining room, away from the fairly active and noisy bar area, at a nice 4-top. A Great Steakhouse Experience at Red Rock During our June stay at Red Rock Casino & Spa, we had the opportunity to dine on-property for several meals, and their steakhouse was great.
