Insider tip: Plan for casino parking and consider sharing appetizers if you’re heading back to the tables.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Casino garage parking is plentiful and free with validation; valet available near the main entrance for a fee.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual; casino guests often lean slightly dressy, but jeans and a clean top are perfectly fine.
Noise level: Moderate—tableside conversations are doable, but casino floor activity can create background noise.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on casino traffic, especially after major events or tournaments.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, even with steady casino guest flow.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetarian pho and tofu-based noodle dishes are usually available.
Vegan options: Limited—broth is typically beef- or chicken-based, but some stir-fry dishes can be made vegan on request.
Gluten-free options: Moderate—rice noodle soups are naturally gluten-free, but broths and sauces may contain soy; ask staff for guidance.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want something casual but polished; the casino setting adds energy, though it’s not ideal if you want intimate quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations are rarely required. Walk-ins are the norm, especially outside peak casino event times.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids and teens; the dining area is family-appropriate, though the casino environment may feel hectic for younger children.
Best For
Better for: Late-night pho in a polished, sit-down setting with reliable service and proximity to casino entertainment.
Skip if: You want a traditional, neighborhood pho house without casino ambience or prefer budget-friendly prices.
