HistoryNerd! left a 3 star review for Lanai Express

I have been dining at Lanai Express for years! It's not quite as tasty as Panda express but it's always served hot and it's reasonably priced. Have never had a bad meal here. Today we just got an order of orange chicken. Priced less then $5. We just really came in for a snack. We frequently get their $.99 shrimp cocktail. And that was all we planned on getting but what we got today definitely left us wanting. After I dumped out the half cup of just cocktail sauce, what was left was about 1/3 cup of shrimp still drowning in sauce with the bottom inch of the cup chopped celery. So much sauce and so little shrimp was not what I was used to here. Bummed me out!

I’m a huge fan of this cuisine and with all the options at Red Rock, this was the first place for me to dine at on my trip. The shishito peppers are delicious but needed more salt. I opted for soy sauce. Be careful though- they are spicy! The duck bao buns were the star of the meal. I could have eaten 4 plates of them. Finished the meal with brisket pho and added grilled pork to it. It was yummy but the broth was a tad bland. Was expecting a more bold flavor. Even after adding plenty of sauces, it was still a 7.5 out of 10. I’d go back just for the bao buns but maybe try something else as my entree.

Great place for special dinner and view of the fountain. They have heaters on the patio when dining during winter time. Menu changes from time to time with veggies and sauce, but not too drastic. Protein basically stay same. From my experiences, their service is always great and sincere. Some other fancy places are a little pretentious. We ordered tasting menu. They are very flexible here, will allow you to order different items from the rest of your group. This is important when you want to try and share. Portions are generous, more than a “taste”. A la carte is available if you don’t want 4-5 courses dinner. Must order item is quail salad(not pictured). If you want patio table, book the early dinner…unless you’re a high roller.

Food was fantastic and so was the service. We took our daughters to the all you can eat Sushi 🍱 and they loved it. The waiter was incredible and very personable. We all really enjoyed our dinner. We highly recommend for anyone who wants the experience of a nice meal at a reasonable price. We are definitely coming back!

We came in two days and tried multiple things. Both the Short Rib Sandwich and Bacon, Egg, & Cheese are great. The Crispy Chicken Salad is better than the roast chicken one, but the salad base is not that fresh for second time. The Loco Moco and Avocado Toast are pretty good too.

I checked out the Gem Bar at Aria Resort & Casino in Vegas and it was awesome. The vibe is chill and fancy, with a wide selection of signature cocktails. The bartenders are friendly and know their stuff. The bar food is also delicious. Highly recommend it for a fancy night out in Vegas.

I absolutely loved this! I wanted to go but none of my friends could make it so I went alone. I am so glad that I did. At first I thought I was going to have to walk all the way to the top. I was very happy to find that the elevator was for the hero style riders. Next time I will get the video camera and record it. Make reservations ahead of time to get a better deal.

Very nice and good service course. Provide range practice before start your round. Got very good discount from Teeoff. Cart came with GPS which is very convenient. Weather is much hotter than what we have played closer to strip although it says same temp. Losing one star due to a very poor green condition when we played. If the green is back on top condition, this is definitely a 5 star. Other than that, we enjoy this course.

Food was good, wouldn't say amazing. Maybe we'll try the prime rib next time. Had the salmon, fried fish, and Reuben. Salmon was a bit in the dry side as well as the Reuben and the steak fries. Fried fish was a little overcooked. Made it in before the long line started to form. Place was packed. Service wasn't bad, but they did seem to be a bit short handed. No charge for parking. Next time might try the bbq restaurant.

This is the best part of our stay in Las Vegas. As I traveled so many years in different places, I’m happy this place still keeps the routine of doing housekeeping in the afternoon, changing towels and collecting trash which none of other places would do anymore. It reminded me good old days. For this I give their services a five star. I booked premium room with very nice view and quiet, AC is great and quiet. Bathroom is fabulous. Spacious room. Above all, the price is very reasonable. I definitely will stay here again if I would ever come back again. It was super hot outside so we stayed inside the hotel, lots of fun things to do, Forum shops are great, we found most of the stuff we needed.
