Dim sum palace close to the strip in a casino! Very authentic, I heard that the casino hospitality president wanted to do a Chinese restaurant right so he got HK restauranteur Danny Leung Nhan and gave him considerable liberty and funding to repeat his successful formula. That entailed stealing some talented Chinatown chefs to bring that authenticity which they aren't able to have otherwise. So did it payoff?
The Good:
Shrimp hargow: Check
pork ribs: Check (Yum!)
Sticky rice in lotus leaves: Check
Rice noodle in shrimp: Check
Fried tarot root cake: Check (Yum!)
Egg custard tarts: Check (Yum!)
Mistranslated menu: Check
The Bad:
The price (?): a little more than SGV or chinatown (though not much) but you should expect that
Service: Really nice for the most part, except the hostess asked if I wanted a lunch menu and never came back with one though she did apologize after remembering 20 min later. Also, they added jasmine tea to my bill then removed it after I told them I didn't order or receive any tea
Overall a really impressive experience for a large Casino Chinese place, though I don't really mind driving to Chinatown and I hardly go or stay at the Rio so it's not that more convenient. It was nice to see a place "get it" though to cater to their Chinese gambling clientele, and looking at the menu I'd come back again to try their seafood dinner.
