On Flamingo. How many are currently open?

I thought there are currently three locations

I think there is a new one in a Casino ( Red Rock?) but I donā€™t think the first (Sahara Ave? ) one re-opened.

My understanding is the one on Flamingo originally opened in 2017(same year the original locationā€™s roof collapsed), closed during early pandemic, then re-opened December 2020.

But hey, this was my first visit.

They re-opened the Sahara location briefly a year or two back; and closed it just as quickly. Not sure what that was about, but in a recent interview Penny Chutima (Chef Saipinā€™s daughter) said that they plan to re-open the Sahara location some time this spring, and at that time will close the Flamingo location for remodeling. Based on their past timeline estimates, Iā€™m betting Sahara wonā€™t re-open till this fall, or even winter 2024. I hope they do though, because I always found that location more pleasant to dine at ā€“ also easier to get to as a local without having to deal with Strip traffic.

And yes, thereā€™s a new location at Red Rock Casino, but I havenā€™t tried that one yet.

Heard very poor reviews about the new location from my friends who live in Vegas. The service was shaky which can be forgiven for a new opening but they said the food was subpar especially compared to the Flamingo location. Unfortunate because I usually visit my friends in Summerlin 2-3x per year and the red Rock location is 7 minutes from their house.

My last visit to Flamingo was a bit uneven but we went on Christmas night when the place was absolutely jam packed.
