What are your favorite dishes at LoS, @honkman ? I’ve never had time to go there when in LV for events and conferences, but definitely planned to visit when I go this Fall.
Some of our favorites are - Nam Kao Tod, northern larbs, Kang Hung Lay, spicy garlic prawns, crispy duck panang, nam prik ong, isaan sausage and we often can’t decide between the mango with sticky rice and the fried banana - so we take both

I had a few days in Vegas maybe 12 years ago and out of, I think, five nights, we had two dinners at Lotus of Siam, and I brought take-out home on the plane. That place knocked me out. My favorite was a beef dish with tamarind sauce. You guys know that they opened in NYC but that did not last even a year if I am remembering correctly. When I went it was in a strip mall that had seen better days, right off THE Strip but not ON it. Near the Sahara Hotel (??)
I also remember a great Taiwanese place on Spring Mountain Road that was known for a type of beef roll. Are there still great nondescript Asian spots off the Strip? We never ate in any of the famous places on the Strip, but didi have a cheap-ish buffet breakfast at a semi-down market hotel that had a space theme… Sounds like a refresher trip is in order!
My favorite thing, besides that Thai food, was swimming in the long, long, long, very warm pool at the Bellagio Hotel. We got a deal for $149 a night, in January, but I wonder if those kind of prices are still available in today’s Vegas.

I love Lotus of Siam…and inevitably order the Khao Soi with duck, Nam Prik Ong. This last time we had a tremendous papaya salad with soft-shell crabs…oh my goodness it was great. No joy for dessert though…no mango and sticky rice which is one of my favorite desserts of all time.
