LAS VEGAS (Nov. 11, 2022) – The newest location of Lotus of Siam, and the first concept from Bua Food Group, a partnership between Penny Chutima and Lou Abin, hosted a VIP grand opening party at

Evoking the culture and spirit of Thailand, the celebration featured hand balancers performing Muay Thai moves, a traditional lion and dragon dance, and dancers in traditional costumes performing a classical blessing dance and Ramakien, the Thai version of an Indian epic. Guests were escorted to the resort’s pool to release floating lotus lanterns in honor of the Thailand lantern festival. The action releases negative energy while wishing for good luck and good fortune for the coming year, Chutima explained to the group.

Reservations are now open to the public for dinner Sunday through Thursday 4-11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 4 p.m.-12 a.m. As well as lunch on Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. A bimonthly Saturday Champagne Brunch will launch on Nov. 26 complete with a DJ and decadent offerings exclusive to the Red Rock location. To make reservations, visit lotusredrock.com or call 702.907.8888.

Created by James Beard Award-winning Chef Saipin Chutima from century-old family recipes highlighted by a distinct and hearty trifecta of spices, herbs, and flavors, the menu largely remains the same. Including signature dishes like the crispy duck Khao Soi, garlic prawns, Thai-style stews, and coconut-less curries. Along with the familiar menu, the restaurant also features an extensive award-winning wine list curated by Bill Chutima and exceptional cocktail offerings from Kenny Okada.

Abin and Chutima designed the space in collaboration with Hatch Design Group. With a vision to make guests feel as though they have been transported to Northern Thailand.

The 280-seat restaurant features an abundance of greenery and natural bamboo elements, native Thai redwood. More than 230 hanging rice paper and bamboo lanterns, hand-placed brick, and fabrics were brought in directly from Thailand markets. Its earthy and comfortable ambiance extends into a garden atrium. with wrought iron windows and Las Vegas’ first retractable roof spanning an impressive 60-foot ceiling. Allowing natural sunlight to flow in. The roof is constructed of corrugated steel spotted with rust to represent the working class in Thailand, whose homes are often made of material and rust due to the humidity. A third dining room features a 40-foot-high wall filled with 80 decorative vessels. Symbolic of the pack tea harvesters in Thailand wear on their backs. Protective statues and sculptures stand guard throughout the venue, with a peaceful Zen garden located outside. Overgrown with lush greenery and a reflecting pond showcasing bronze lotus fountains.

Elements representing lucky Thai traditions are implemented throughout. Including the south-facing entryway with rounded arches to allow feng shui to easily flow and create good fortune.

“What’s most exciting about this project is that people are certainly going to get what they’ve come to expect in coming to Lotus of Siam. But they also can expect something special and culturally different,” Penny Chutima said. “We have blended the traditional standards with modern touches. Which will help elevate and educate the guest about what Thailand is really all about. With Thai silk fabrics and art, we can’t wait to usher in this new era of our family business.”

Abin added, “It’s been an honor to work with the Chutima family and the Fertitta family as we make a new home at Red Rock and we can’t wait to welcome the community in.”
