What’s New In Chinatown
Welcome to This Week in Chinatown (April 12th, 2024 Edition)!
Spring Has Sprung in Las Vegas Chinatown!
We’ve finally traded in that long winter for some seriously amazing weather. Today’s forecast is a glorious mostly sunny day with a high of 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and the next ten days look just as promising – sunshine galore with highs in the mid to upper 70s and comfortable nights dipping into the 50s. Perfect weather for strolling, exploring, and soaking up the vibrant energy of Chinatown.
Chinatown is alive 24/7! So, lace up your walking shoes and join us on a virtual tour. As always, we’ll be starting on the east side of Spring Mountain Rd and heading west, highlighting all the hidden gems and must-see spots.
Get ready to explore, indulge, and discover the magic of Chinatown this week!

Chinatown Farewell: Zip Korean Closes Doors, Future Dining Concept Uncertain
Zip has closed its Spring Mountain location
A Fond Farewell and New Beginnings on Spring Mountain Rd.
In this week’s Chinatown update, we bring you news that’s both bitter and sweet. Zip Korean, the beloved spot on Spring Mountain Rd. celebrated for its delectable tofu and grilled dishes, has sadly bid farewell, as reported in our June 30th edition.
Spring Mountain Rd. has a knack for hosting diverse culinary ventures, each leaving an indelible mark on Chinatown’s dynamic dining landscape. While Zip Korean’s departure leaves a void, it also heralds the promise of new beginnings.
With this vacancy comes an exciting opportunity for a fresh culinary concept to thrive. We eagerly anticipate the emergence of a new establishment that will infuse its own distinctive flavor into the neighborhood.
Stay tuned! We’ll be keeping a vigilant watch on developments and sharing any updates on this space’s forthcoming chapter. In the meantime, what type of restaurant would you love to see take its place?”

This significant structural change signifies major progress towards the restaurant’s completion. While an official opening date remains under wraps, seeing the raised roof in place is a step in the right direction.
