"Once the worst‑kept secret in town, this beloved Thai institution now glows inside Red Rock Casino with lanterns bobbing from tree boughs, temple‑evoking brick walls, and sexy rattan‑teal banquettes—while the food stays true to its origins. I crave specialties like Chilean sea bass som thum and deep‑fried lobster with garlic‑pepper sauce, and I love that there’s an entire Northern Thailand menu influenced by Myanmar, Laos, and South China." - Andrea Bennett
"Lotus Of Siam is one of the most important restaurants in Las Vegas. It helped put the city's restaurant scene on the map with its many TV appearances, and redefined Thai food in the Southwest with fiery dishes that are a far cry from your usual corner takeout spot. The huge, high-energy dining room is always filled with big parties coming in from the casinos, multi-generational family gatherings, Strip chefs on their days off, and celebrities with their entourages. There are plenty of splashy dishes that include crab, lobster, and perfectly crispy duck for when you're feeling celebratory, though we also love the shareable nam prik dips and a tom kha soup that's more brothy than creamy. Lotus can accommodate dietary restrictions without fuss, and customize a meal for you on the spot, so you don't have to do much planning ahead if you're rolling with a group. They can handle it." - melinda sheckells

"A high-energy Thai destination that retains the large-party vibes of its original location while serving boldly flavored, generous plates. The flagship decadent item is an immense khao soi—one of the priciest and most luxurious versions in the U.S.—offered with minced steak or deep-fried slices of tender duck breast atop wheat noodles in a curry-rich broth, crowned with crunchy fried noodles and fresh herbs. The dish is intensely flavorful and filling enough to make additional entrees feel unnecessary, though a refreshing som tum could bring balance." - Janna Karel
"A Vegas institution synonymous with Northern Thai cuisine, Lotus of Siam nails complex flavors for takeout. Led by James Beard Award-winning chef Saipin Chutima (Best Chef Southwest, 2011), the menu features standout dishes like garlic prawns — crispy, peppered shrimp tossed in bold garlic sauce —and crispy duck panang, tender duck with a rich curry, basil, and red peppers. For soul-warming comfort, try the Khao Soi noodles in an aromatic curry-tinted broth." - Janna Karel
