From The Strip to Raiders Way: Why Top Chefs Are Choosing West Henderson
World-Class Experience, Right in Your Neighborhood
For years, the rule in Las Vegas was simple: if you wanted a culinary masterpiece prepared by a top-tier chef, you had to drive to the Strip. You had to navigate the parking garages, fight the crowds, and pay tourist prices.
At Lexie's Bistro, we believe you shouldn't have to leave Henderson to experience exceptional food.
That is why we have assembled a culinary team with a pedigree you would typically find inside a five-star resort, right here in the booming Raiders Way district.
Meet the Talent Behind the Menu
Our kitchen isn't run by standard line cooks. It is led by two chefs who have spent years honing their craft in some of the most demanding and prestigious kitchens in the country.
Chef Santos Lopez – The Technician
Born in Oaxaca, Mexico, Chef Santos began his culinary journey at the impressive age of 15 at Melisse in Santa Monica—a restaurant that holds two Michelin stars. Working in a Michelin-starred environment teaches a level of discipline and attention to detail that stays with a chef forever.
After moving to Las Vegas, Chef Santos served as a Sous Chef at Eataly, the world-renowned Italian marketplace, and later helped launch The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas as Executive Sous Chef.
At Lexie's, Chef Santos brings that same obsession with quality ingredients and perfect technique to every plate of pasta he serves.
Executive Chef Orlando Pascua – The Innovator
Hailing from Hawaii, Chef Orlando cut his teeth working for the legendary Chef Roy Yamaguchi at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion. His ability to blend flavors and manage a high-energy kitchen led him to Las Vegas, where he rose to become the Executive Sous Chef at Eataly Park MGM.
Chef Orlando brings a unique "New American" style to our Italian-American menu, blending his heritage with classic Italian passion to create dishes that are familiar yet exciting.
Why They Choose West Henderson
So, why did two chefs with resumes featuring Eataly and Martha Stewart choose a bistro in West Henderson?
The answer is simple: Passion and Community.
On the Strip, cooking can often feel like a factory line—feeding thousands of strangers a night. At Lexie's Bistro, located within the Ilumina on Raiders Way community, Chef Santos and Chef Orlando can cook for their neighbors. They can source fresh ingredients, experiment with specials, and actually see the smiles on guests' faces.
Taste the Difference
When you order the Tableside Burrata or our signature Salmon, you aren't just getting "bar food." You are tasting decades of experience from chefs who respect the food.
We invite you to skip the Strip, stay local, and come taste what happens when world-class talent finds a home on Raiders Way.
