And BTS dined at Lotus of Siam during their recent four-night, sold-out run at Allegiant Stadium. There are also Lotus of Siam locations on Flamingo Avenue and at Red Rock Resort in Summerlin.
I look forward to returning for dinner at the reimagined Lotus of Siam, which looks nothing like the restaurant I dined at nearly two decades ago. It’s definitely a new chapter for the beloved Thai restaurant. Chon Gâew! Cheers! Salud!
