Genting Palace

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Old-World Glamour on the Strip

Genting Palace brings authentic Chinese fine dining to Resorts World Las Vegas, offering what the restaurant itself describes as "old-world glamour" in a setting that rewards attention to detail. Forbes Travel Guide recognized it with a Four-Star award, a distinction that speaks to both the kitchen's precision and the overall experience — from the turquoise moongate entrance to the private dining room hung with Andy Warhol's vivid silkscreen paintings of Chairman Mao Zedong.

Chef Billy Cheng

At the center of everything is Executive Chef Billy Cheng, who brings more than 40 years of experience to the role. He grew up in Guangdong, China, inspired by his father's passion for cooking and his family's involvement in the restaurant business. His path took him through Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, and eventually to the Las Vegas Strip — beginning at Moongate at The Mirage in 1999. He earned the American Masters of Taste Gold Medal during his time at Shanghai Lilly in Mandalay Bay, before leading Jasmine at Bellagio from 2011 to 2021, where he orchestrated the Chinese New Year Gala Dinner for thousands of guests across multiple years. Cheng's stated mission at Genting Palace is straightforward: ensure that every guest can enjoy authentic Chinese dishes, wherever they come from.

What to Order

Forbes Travel Guide singles out the dim sum as a destination in its own right. Black truffle dumplings stuffed with lobster, scallops, and shrimp arrive shaped like orange-tinged boats; shrimp dumplings come encased in a pink wrapper, each topped with half a quail egg. The presentations are as deliberate as the flavors.

The Peking duck is a tableside event — a trolley rolls to your table and a chef slices and serves the tender meat alongside hoisin sauce, crepes, cucumber, and scallions. The XO shrimp, served in a yam basket with asparagus, carrot, ginger, onion, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms, has become one of the menu's most-ordered dishes.

The Lounge and Private Dining

Beyond the moongate, the Genting Palace Lounge mixes bold patterns, loud colors, and eccentric touches — including a bartop light fixture fashioned from a gold monkey wearing a lampshade skirt. The Cherry Blossom cocktail, made with Roku gin, Chareau aloe liqueur, dragonfruit, ginger cordial, lime, and a floating orchid, is the drink to order here.

For groups or those seeking more privacy, the restaurant's private dining room — with its Warhol prints and secluded atmosphere — offers a distinct setting within this already distinctive Chinese restaurant.
