On the stretch of road that is between the Encore(awesome) and the Riviera(dumpy) my friend and I came across a strip mall. We were heading for Circus Circus, just for the pure curiosity of seeing a casino based around clowns. I was starving, so the A-frame sign on Las Vegas Blvd caught my eye…$ 5.99 lunch special. After a bit of meandering around the crappy shopping plaza, next to the closed wedding chapel we found Ping Pong Thai. It was late afternoon, so it was pretty empty. Overall, I think it was a winner. The Thai food wasn’t the best I have ever had, but it was definitely good. The service was very nice and prompt. The prices were really low. Our check was so small I felt bad for the waitress, especially since she told us she had been stiffed by a party earlier in the day that returned their ‘cashew chicken’ because it had cashews in it. Rejects. Anyway, so I left her about a 75% tip. I suppose this is the new Ping Pong, as there is one already on Sunset Road. If you are staying at the Encore and want to save a bit of money, you might want to pop in here for lunch or dinner.
