Genting Palace

About Genting Palace

Genting Palace sits inside Resorts World Las Vegas, adjacent to the Las Vegas Hilton, announces itself with a moongate entryway and a dining room dressed in lime-green chairs, semi-circular booths, white-clothed tables. The room has the formality of a Hong Kong banquet hall without the institutional scale, which makes it functional for dates and small business dinners as well as larger celebrations.

Chef Billy Cheng runs a Cantonese kitchen with enough breadth to reward multiple visits. The dim sum service is the most talked-about entry point: presentations are deliberately visual, with dumplings shaped and colored to stand apart from the standard dim sum circuit. Beyond the dim sum, the Peking duck tableside service deserves attention. A trolley arrives at your table, a chef slices and presents the duck, accompaniments including hoisin sauce, crepes, cucumber, scallions follow. It is a set-piece that works well for groups and special occasions where a bit of theater adds to the meal without feeling forced.

The prix fixe works if this is your first serious visit or if you are trying to cover ground efficiently. The multicourse structure moves through dishes like crab claw wrapped in crispy kataifi, barbecued boneless duckling, sweet and sour Chilean sea bass, Sichuan-style braised tofu with chicken and mushrooms, mango sago with tropical fruits. As a progression, it gives you a cleaner read on what the kitchen can do across registers: delicate, rich, spiced, sweet. That arc is more coherent than ordering piecemeal, particularly for guests unfamiliar with the menu's range.

Signature dishes to anchor an à la carte order include the XO shrimp served in a yam basket with asparagus, carrot, ginger, onion, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, the wok-fried A5 Japanese wagyu beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce, shimeji mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, mint, garlic. The Cantonese appetizer combination, which lays out barbecue pork, roasted duck, roasted pork, pork knuckle, marinated octopus with a border of sliced cucumber, is a reasonable way to open a table-share meal.

The wine program is managed by Wine Director Andrew D'Errico and Sommelier Piotr Szczurko. With 295 selections and an inventory of 1,500 bottles, the list skews toward Burgundy and Bordeaux and sits at the $$$ price tier. A $50 corkage fee applies if you bring your own bottle. For a Cantonese dinner at this price level, that wine depth is a genuine differentiator; most comparable Chinese restaurants in Las Vegas offer far thinner lists.

The Genting Palace Lounge, accessible through a turquoise moongate, runs a separate cocktail program in a room that trades on color and irreverence. The Cherry Blossom cocktail, made with Roku gin, Chareau aloe liqueur, dragonfruit, ginger cordial, lime, a floating orchid, is the house signature and a reasonable pre-dinner option.

Private dining is available for groups who want separation from the main room. The space features Andy Warhol silkscreen prints of Chairman Mao, which gives it a specific aesthetic that will appeal to some tables and feel eccentric to others. Either way, it is a more considered private dining option than what most Las Vegas hotel restaurants offer at this category.

Dress code is business casual. The restaurant offers valet and self-parking, accepts reservations (recommended), and provides gluten-free options and takeout. Dinner is the primary service.
