The Strat has a new tool in its toolbox, and trust us, we know a tool when we see one, as we once attended “Mindfreak.”<\/p>\n

Strat’s new tool is Chi Asian Kitchen, a restaurant just feet from the resort’s high limit room.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the tool? To keep high rollers from straying to Palace Station or Gold Coast or Palms.<\/p>\n

The Strat, still with mostly free parking. Don’t get us started.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But first things first: The name.<\/p>\n

“Chi” was inspired by the Chinese word for “eat.”<\/p>\n

The official pronunciation of Chi Asian Kitchen is “chee.” That’s despite the fact there’s a macron involved, a diacritic indicating a long vowel, like the “chai” in “chai tea.” Nope, diacritics be damned, Strat insists it’s “chee,” like in “tai chi,” despite our best efforts.<\/p>\n

Nothing flashy, but follow the scent of potstickers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, setting our OCD aside for a moment, Strat has done a great job with the space.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Told you there would be tools involved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Strat, “Reminiscent of a bustling Chinese alley restaurant, the street-inspired interior includes a variety of traditional and unique design touches and decor.”<\/p>\n

Yep, there’s a metric butt-ton of that. Yes, that is the technical interior design term.<\/p>\n

Guaranteed the graffiti artist had a fleeting moment of, “Should I write something obscene? They’ll ever know!” Thankfully, graffiti artists are known for their maturity and restraint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a quick walkthrough of Chi.<\/p>\n
