China Mama, the popular longtime Las Vegas Chinese restaurant, is opening another location, this time in Palace Station, owner Station Casinos said Thursday in a statement. A fall opening is planned.
The new China Mama is replacing Boathouse Asian Eatery, which is closing after service on Sept. 1. Station Casinos ended its management agreement with Boathouse Asian, the statement said.
The original China Mama on South Jones Boulevard closed after an early morning fire in late March 2023. In May 2023, China Mama Express, a takeout-only spot, debuted on South Rainbow Boulevard. About a month later, the sit-down China Mama reopened, moving to Shanghai Plaza in Chinatown, in the same center as ShangHai Taste.
