Doo is in the casino capital this week for the World Table Tennis United Smash tournament, and called the food prices 'scary' in a social media post on Wednesday.
The Olympic bronze medallist said the restaurant prices were 'exaggerated' – especially when you add an 18 per cent service charge on top.
In a video with teammate Ng Wing-lam, Doo highlighted several issues they have encountered and joked she would need to win more just to afford a meal.
'It's the first time that I have been so reluctant and picky when ordering Japanese food, but I really couldn't go for it,' she said. 'I am now curious about how much people in the US earn per month.

'These prices are too exaggerated. It's time to stop talking, I have to roll up my sleeves to win a few more rounds to earn back my food expenses.'
