Sea Vegas making a splash at Bally’s

"We thought we’d like to have a restaurant inside a casino. We had never done that before," said Alvin Ho, general manager.

Ho noted that in little more than two months in Bally’s, Sea Vegas has attracted tourists and locals.

"Our price range is very reasonable. I would say the average check per person is $20 to $25," he said.

Sea Vegas specializes in Thai fusion cuisine and also offers Vietnamese dishes . There is a 1-to-5 hotness scale.

The dining room of Sea Vegas seats about 110 — a private room seats 22 — and offers such visual features as a small pool and dark woods.

Sea Vegas is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Reservations are recommended.
