Red 8 is the more casual Asian restaurant at Wynn, offering a wider variety of cuisines, but that doesn’t mean it resembles your average Chinese take-out place. The red and black dining room is often bustling, as guests schmooze around cozy booths and polished stone tables. In case there’s any doubt left as to the cuisine of choice here, a large red lantern hangs majestically in the middle of the restaurant with tiny lamps around the perimeter of the space. Red 8 offers heartier, more common dishes than its shark’s fin-serving counterparts, including Hong Kong-style barbecued beef and soups containing fresh noodles and meaty dumplings. Don’t miss the dim sum menu, offering 20 choices of deliciously dense dumplings. And with this more casual dining experience, comes a smaller bill—in case you haven’t had luck at the tables.
