Las Vegas’ Chinatown is definitely one of the cleanest major city Chinatowns I’ve ever seen. Seriously, this place makes San Francisco’s Chinatown look like Afghanistan. The food is great, but definitely hit and miss. There are amazing gems to find, however, especially the further West you go. Noteworthy stops are Raku, Sweets Raku, Kabuto, Nakamura-Ya, Snowflake Shavery, Monta, Swish, and Tea Station. They also have a variety of massage places, again hit and miss as is the case with most Chinatowns. The Foot Spa by Raku is the best one. Overall, definitely worth getting off the Strip to check out and one of my favorite cultural places to explore with friends.

Las Vegas Chinatown is unique. Driving is a better option than walking because the plazas are not too close to each other compared to other Chinatowns in the US. There are several plazas there: — Chinatown Plaza: the most popular and probably the OG. It has 99 Ranch supermarket, ginseng store, reflexology, travel center and restaurants. — Pacific Asian Plaza: Shun Fat supermarket is the anchor of this plaza. — Great China Plaza. — The Center at Spring Mountain. — Tokyo Plaza: Raku and Monta are here since they are Japanese =P I go to Las Vegas Chinatown when I get tired of eating buffets. You can get Chinese, Malaysian, Filipino, Vietnamese and even Japanese foods @ Chinatown. Craving boba? Chinatown has Volcano Tea and #1 Boba Tea. Too bad they don’t have slot machines here. It would be cool to eat dim sum while playing slot =P
