Lotus Blue

Lotus Blue is probably the coolest bar on the strip – its mix of Buddhist bric-a-brac and Chinese artefacts, glitz and a vague homage to the Belgian cartoon hero Tintin, somehow works. Eat Thai food or drink inside on two levels, or in summer head to the third-floor roof terrace and gaze over the lake at the hundreds of floating candles that boaters drop into the water for good luck.
