"Wing Lei oozes elegance, but not in a Vegas-gaudy kind of way. It's a spectacle for sure, but with quiet gentility requiring a backpedal from the bustling energy surrounding most of the Strip. Wing Lei's dining room shimmers with gold leaf and chandeliers, though the real centerpiece is classical Chinese cuisine presented with a fine-dining aura."
"When Michelin Guide released the premier Las Vegas edition in 2008, it awarded Wing Lei one star - though many diners over the years would surely insist it deserves more. Nonetheless, the lauded recognition catapulted the restaurant into history, a first-ever for American-based Chinese restaurants entering the guide's hallowed pages."
"It's also been lauded by the Forbes Travel Guide, which doled out five stars, noting the impeccable service and refined interpretation of Chinese dining. As you can imagine, Wing Lei is one of the toughest restaurant reservations to get in Las Vegas, so plan weeks ahead if possible."
