What’s New In Chinatown
Happy St. Patricks Day from Chinatown Vegas
Chinatown Vegas wishes everyone a happy and safe St. Patricks Day. This weather this week ahead is still colder than normal for this time of year. Although days will reach into the 60s, they dip down to the upper 40s at night, so if visiting, dress accordingly.
It was a great night for Asians at the Academy Awards. Congrats to Michelle Yeoh. The first Asian woman to win an Oscar at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Letters of the Week:
We receive several inquiries about Las Vegas Chinatown.
We will feature some here in our weekly report.
Lisa Marie Buckingham Asks:
Does Chinatown have a casino or gambling hall?
Lisa Marie,
Chinatown does not have a casino. The closest ones are the Gold Coast and the Rio on West Flamingo Road and Treasure Island/ Mirage, Wynn/Encore, and Venetian Palazzo on the strip. There are however several places to gamble. Last year we wrote about it and you can read it here A Guide to Gambling in Las Vegas’ Chinatown
