Panda Express is one of the quick serve outlets inside Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. We intended to use our half-price coupon for the Feast Buffet but were startled to discover a humongous line (Saturday about 11:39). Do people really wait an hour just to get into a stinking buffet? Are they giving the food away? (No! It's $10 for lunch!)
We made our way to the food court, where you can also choose among Fatburger, Villa Pizza, Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill, Capriotti's Sandwich Shop and Tropical Smoothie.
We wanted no part of Fatburger. You pay $10 for a meal (more of a snack) that includes a skinny burger similar to the dollar menu at other chains. You get approximately 15 fries.
We settled on Panda Express. It's marginal Asian-style food, not really good but usually not bad. It vaguely reminds you of eating in an actual Chinese restaurant. It's the kind of choice you make when your original plan goes wrong and the chaotic casino environment jams your brain. It can foul you up even when you're not gambling.
They botched our order and overcharged me. I had a hard time getting them to straighten out the overcharge. I get the impression most Panda employees speak little or no English.
It doesn't help that the food court is located in an extremely noisy part of the casino. It's not surprising they fouled up the order. It's hard to hear anything. Red Rock is vying to be the noisiest casino in Vegas. After a while the hellish din leaves you numb.
What you do manage to hear is the annoying grating sound the metal chairs make when they scrape against the tile floor. What genius thought that would be nice? Every few seconds it's "screeech! screeech! screech!" from people moving their chairs.
I say skip the food court unless you enjoy eating in a noisy, stressful environment. I don't know why we didn't go to the Grand Cafe. You can get a decent meal there for about the same money.
