I am not sure how I have managed to live in Vegas my whole life with the exception of my college years and have never eaten at Lotus until late 2014. My first time coming the line was out of the door and there was an hour and half wait. I waited cause I figured it had to be good to have all of these people waiting and taxi after taxi dropping people off. The walls are covered with numerous pictures and accolades which is always a good sign as well. The location is definitely in a shady area but well worth the trip. My favorites are the crab fried rice garlic shrimp prawns black pepper chicken shrimp chow mein and bacon wrapped prawns. The service is good as well I've only had bad service one time at this restaurant. But it is definitely the best Thai restaurant in Vegas!!!!
