"In a city where food spots must compete with the best of the best, a Thai place with thousands of reviews and 4-5 stars says a lot. The restaurant is pretty large, with pictures of celebrities who've eaten there, covering the walls from top to bottom. \n\nThe restaurant has speedy service, prices a little on the high end for some dishes, but money well spent. Lotus of Siam offered some of the best, quality Thai food I've ever had, an experience that will get me to come back in the future.\n\nWe ordered the \n- garlic shrimp (skin like potato chips, fried perfectly it buttery batter; $27, but a most order): http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EmtQ-VHVShfszx-JszgebQ&userid=p5RcabsU9DXQEDef9RiRlQ\n- crying tiger, charbroiled beef with hot sauce and sticky rice (nicely marinated, tender charbroiled beef that goes well with sticky rice; careful with that hot sauce if you're driving home the next day - $17 dish): http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PdqT3DYEP3Au93n5zzShsg&userid=p5RcabsU9DXQEDef9RiRlQ\n- Tom Yum soup (spicy!): http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xej3SJkCQu8Sh5K65E6eXg&userid=p5RcabsU9DXQEDef9RiRlQ\n- Coconut ice cream; a must!: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OjIQUqcaDDYGh8b8ZnF0Mw&userid=p5RcabsU9DXQEDef9RiRlQ\n\nThe entire meal was about $70 for 2 people. While we could have eaten for less at one of Vegas many buffets and restaurants, I'm happy we got to experience this spot and I'm sure we'll be back for more in the future."^^ . "0"^^ . .
