The $140 Lobster at "Red Plate" Chinese Restaurant, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.

INSIDE the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, there is a not very noticeable Chinese restaurant called Red Plate. The "Stir Fried Lobster with Lemongrass and Thai Sauce" offering there is listed at $110.88, which after tax and tip, your wallet would be about $140 thinner than it was when you walked in.
But Danny The Medic, I thought you were a working man?
Of course I didn't pay for this! I happened to have tier matched to the Cosmo Identity Platinum level card! and that card comes with an annual $250 Resort Credit. Read more about Cosmo's Identity program here: www.cosmopolit...

I’m so glad you are here in Vegas! Been watching your videos for a while now to get ideas of new places to go. Love your honesty in all your videos.

[@michaelpoyntz774]

Great video. Seeing the crab as presented I had not realized how big they actually are. The dim sum looked amazing! Sometimes going the extra dollar gets you for that is truly worth the experience!

I dunno if I'll ever get to have such fancy Chinese food lol. Glad u enjoyed it!

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

Aloha Danny. It's nice to see you treat yourself now and then. I could not enjoy that lobster without rice. Every bite you took was torture for me! Mahalo for another excellent video!

at 6:07 , you dropped that turnip cake, when the shumai showed up, like a kid that just opened a better toy at Christmas! 😂. ok, back to the video…

Thx for sharing, no wonder why it's so expensive...very pristine, polite table service and the ambiance is fabulous

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

ok, i have to post as i go along, i cant help it as im busting at the seams to comment as i go… so, the look on your face when the live king crab arrived cracked me up. i swear, this is why we love you! 😂. and yes, its a very nice place, wow, and NOOOOO tv’s, FINALLY!! ok, back to the video…

[@Phushywillow]

This place reminds me of when I lived in Tianjin and there would be two restaurants back to back with the same kitchen in the middle. Both served the exact same food, but one was 10-20 times more expensive, but was reserved for the upper 5% extremely wealthy people, and then the other side was for the regular paying customer with normal prices. But the food was EXACTLY the same. The expensive side looked really fancy, and would have incredible service, and then the normal size was always crowded and had overworked servers and was loud and smokey.

[@patpassi2730]

Seems like you’re living like a king since you moved to Vegas ❤️ Best of luck to you

[@dannythemedic]

king? LOL just wait till the apt tour video comes out next month

[@eat2invest]

looking forward for the apartment tour.

[@paulieprinceton4550]

@@dannythemedichi Danny, patpassi2730 was my mom. Unfortunately she didn’t make it to see your apartment. She passed on March 28, 2024. She was a big fan of yours and we would sometimes discuss your videos. That’s how I found your channel. I know she said she would make you chicken parm and spaghetti if you were ever in Chicago. She wasn’t joking and she was an exceptional cook. She will certainly be missed.

[@dannythemedic]

sorry to hear about your mom. my mom passed years and years back, but I see her and my dad in my dreams all the time, very realistic stuff like they were still alive. Those we love will never be gone!

[@Snoopy33333]

Another great video Danny I couldn't believe how large the king crab was $1000

[@dannythemedic]

if I could read fish minds like Aquaman, I bet I woulda ran out of that restaurant, I swear I thought the crabs were about to count to three

[@titasmom678]

Whoa! I just figured no one could afford those prices so the place was empty!😂 Lucky tier match meal. Food does look amazing though.

[@edmundlee7677]

Happy you were comped, but “Whole Suckling Pig” at $389.88 and “Whole Peking Duck “ at $128… 😮. Should be named Gold plate 💵💵💵💵.. Hmmmm, $1000 for a 10 lb for a live King Crab 🦀. would have been interesting. The fried turnip triangles are items I love. Lobster Sui Mai looked good. 🦞. Whole lobster de-shelled 🦞 Thai spiced, interesting take. Yes, I like the ginger scallion or Cantonese style too. But, the Thai style looked like they used Lemon Glass spice and green onions? All looked great at the”Red Plate” restaurant .👍

[@greenQT]

DtM. I love your guilt. You have character. I wish you would have explained the "thai taste" a little bit more. I usually eqate Thai flavors with some heat and sweet and sour. but none the less, great food shots. Tks. Karla in Cali.

[@joemessner2534]

Danny another amazing food review. The Lobster looked so good.

[@marydifiore7762]

Imagine $1000.00 for a crab.

[@jesserayos3244]

Loving the videos Danny keep it up ❤

[@zenzekezenard4269]

Try steamed lobster that you dip in olive oil with added lemon, salt, black pepper. Olive oil and soy sauce are also very good. In Maine, they boil/simmer lobster at restaurants, in the same water that the last few days lobsters were cooked in.______________ I like your sense of humor. King crab is too expensive in restaurants. Buy and cook at home.

[@winstonwinston3487]

I live in Vancouver and sometimes I feel that Chinese food taste better in Vegas than Vancouver

[@margueritewaggener480]

What did you end up paying after the comp? And do you leave a tip?

[@easystreetwithjen]

Ginger scallion would be my choice. It looks delicious

[@markeidt6404]

Great video Danny. I have watched the tv series Deadliest Catch where the men risk their lives to catch Alaskan crab. To see the final product being shown in a high end Vegas restaurant shows the full circle of crabbing. Very delicious looking meal & glad you enjoyed it.

[@sfdanceron1]

Hey Danny, I'm not a lobster lover but that dish is worth a $100. I plan to check out the scallion and black bean sauce with ginger. All I need is a side of rice, lol.

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooooooaaaa super FABULOUS!!!

[@paigewillow8768]

I’ve had a fresh 4lb lobster in Maine. It was fantastic! Not chewy or tough as you would think. I stayed at the Cosmo a few weeks back and it was so busy that you could not get a reservation anywhere. A busy weekend so it may be that. I wanted to try this place too. Maybe one day if its not crazy busy.

3:40....what is tier match? does it means you bet certain amount of money like $250 and lose in a casino, they will give you $250 to spend on food in a luxury restaurant in vegas?

[@dannythemedic]

tier is your level of player card at any casino. MGM have Nior 1, platnium 2, gold 3, etc etc.. so I had the #2 card, which I showed to the player desk and they gave them their #2 card also.

[@vincentnnyc]

@@dannythemedicso how much do you need to bet or gamble to be #2 platinum? And also what do you mean by u give ur card on the desk and they give their card also?

[@dannythemedic]

it says 200,000 points at MGM, I mean I went to the desk at cosmo, gave them my MGM card, and they in turn gave me a Cosmo Card at the same level as the MGM card. www.mgmresorts.com/en/mgm-rewards.html?kbid=2584521&ecid=PS_BB_RSRT_GGLB_EVDOMES_LV_MR_010124&gad_source=1

[@fparker9949]

my self and my wife have come to really look forward to your videos---- like your style and your sense of humor!! one question , that my have been asked before,,,and I am not being critical in any way BUT why do you always wear the same shirt? except the one Hawaiian shirt on your cruise

[@dannythemedic]

why do people only have one wife? that is my reason! sometimes you find a shirt that fits you and your purpose so well, there is no reason to wear any other shirt. this blue is very neurtal and works with alotta pants, which is usually beige. the fabric is very soft, it has a pocket where I need it, and the placket with the buttons makes a great place to clip a microphone wehter for youtube or work medic work. Anbody seeing this shirt will not have anything bad to say about it. it has a collar for some of the more demanding restaurant policies, and it was on SALE at JCP where I bought a ton, I think I ahve over 30 of these, forgive the miuspellings

[@dannythemedic]

not only that, I also save time on having to think about what shirt.

simply if you have tier, another casino may match it as some kind of customer stealing effort. www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/identity/about

IOW…cosmo is matching tiers from other casinos? So Caesar’s diamond gets cosmo platinum?
