Red Rock Resort may not be in your usual rotation of Las Vegas casinos, as it’s 15 minutes west of The Strip, but now might be a good time to check it out.<\/p>\n

The resort recently opened Lotus of Siam, a new outpost of the acclaimed Thai restaurant, and also unveiled a new high limit slot lounge.<\/p>\n

Both are “hawt,” as the kids say. Or did in 2010. In other words, exemplary, yo.<\/p>\n

Yes, we told you Lotus of Siam was coming to Red Rock Resort nine months<\/a> before it was announced. No, not everything has to be about us. Yes, your instinct that last sentence was a lie is spot on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lotus of Siam is still in a sort of soft opening period, but it’s already going like gangbusters.<\/p>\n

Today we learned the term “gangbusters” comes from a radio show that aired from 1937 to 1957 called “Gang Busters.” The crime show opened with loud noises, like sirens and gun shots, hence the term became associated with something that’s off to a strong start.<\/p>\n

The venue is stunning and definitely stands out at Red Rock Resort.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons the restaurant looks so amazing is it’s a partnership with Bua Food Group, owned by Penny Chutima and Lou Abin. Chutima’s family owns Lotus of Siam.<\/p>\n

Abin knows a little something about hospitality and dining experiences, as he was with Tao Group for 20 years. He oversaw the company’s restaurants and nightlife venues at places like Beauty & Essex, Lavo Italian Restaurant, Marquee Nightclub, Tao Asian Bistro and Nightclub and Tao Beach.<\/p>\n

During our first visit to Lotus of Siam, the place was still so fresh, no food was being served at the bar, but it’s available now. There are 70 items on the menu, so it took a minute for the kitchen staff to get their footing.<\/p>\n

You have bars in your hometown. You probably don’t have a lot of this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While we haven’t had a chance to dine at Lotus of Siam yet, we’ll definitely try it based purely on the reputation of the original spot where everything is amazing. We accidentally ate the wrapper of our straw one time at Lotus of Siam, and it was delicious.<\/p>\n

You sort of can’t miss it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Lotus of Siam menu<\/a> is available for viewing via the miracle that is the Internet.<\/p>\n

By our count, Lotus of Siam has more dishes that sound dirty but aren’t than any other Las Vegas restaurant, and we can’t wait to dive headlong into the menu.<\/p>\n

Lotus of Siam opens @RedRockCasino<\/a> on Nov. 11. Here are some menu highlights that sound dirtier than they really are: Suki Sauce, Saam Rod Sauce, Chu-Chee, Kang Hung Lay, Yum Tale and Nam Prik Hed. Details: https:\/\/t.co\/ndTvnk19bh<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/H3ojwc395H<\/a><\/p>\n
