Went to Lucky Dragon on West Sahara just off the strip and learned, that when you sign up for a Lucky Dragon Card, you need a local ID to get the $18 food voucher 
. Spent the promotional $8 free-play on a 3-line quarter 5-7 BP VideoPoker console, and the Mouse hit quad fives for a net result of $44.75, so we decided to eat there anyway "on the house".
Ordered Baos at Bao Now. The place is quite pretty, with little tables in front of the glass encased kitchen. The menu is surprising extensive for a casual take-out type place, and not very detailed on what you actually get when you order. We decided on the eponymous Baos, and figured at the list price of $5.88 (minus five percent discount for Lucky Dracon card holders) we would need three baos each to make up for dinner. The overworked woman behind the counter didn't mention, that each order of bao is in fact served a three slider size baos, and that nine of them is in fact a lot of food.
Ticket time was abysmal for a place without table service and not that much traffic. The food came in large brown cardboard boxes, with no utensils and only a few cocktail size napkins available on the counter. We had asked for water, but the stressed out woman behind the counter was not able to hand it to us with the food. Instead, we waited close to five minutes to have her leave the counter to bring us two cups of water.
Sadly, the Braised Pork Belly baos were out, so we had to make do with Mixed Wild Mushrooms, Braised Poker Chop, and Grilled Chicken. The two former baos were very enjoyable, and quiet filling. Unfortunately, what little taste the Grilled Chicken baos had was overwhelmed by way to much mayo dressing splashed on the carrot/cerely salad component.
It was kind of fun, but not at a level where we would do it again.
