My theory on noodle shops in Las Vegas strip casinos … you gotta have them. I’ve eaten at noodle shops in Mandalay Bay, the Bellagio and the Venetian (twice). I figure all of the casinos now need a noodle shop to cater to the zillions of Asian tourists that spend the big bucks on the tables.

This is Noodle Asia. This time, actually, I didn’t order noodles. Instead I ordered “congee”, or a rice soup, with pork and preserved duck egg. I was seated facing the Sports Book, so was able to watch three or four different sporting events all the while. Not bad.
