There are no seats left ... there are not enough seats
no+ noun / not enough !! Can �t explain more!
You would say not+ adj+ enough ex: this shirt is not big enough

Because, after "no", you have to put a noun right after it, and when you write "not", you have to put an adverb after it.
And when you say "no", it means "not at all".
i.e.
There is not enough water in the swimming pool. = It means there is some water in the swimming pool, but not enough.
There is no water in the swimming pool. = It means there is absolutely not a litter of water inside of the swimming pool.

This is what people say about learning English
if the words or sentence is nice to hear
There is not enough water in the swimming pool.
It helps us learning English by watching movie. Try American Pie (it �s not a pie)!
:)
Cheers
