Chinatown Speakeasy Lip Smacking Tour

The Chinatown Speakeasy Lip Smacking Tour is an evening crawl for guests aged 21 and over along Spring Mountain Road, the Asian dining corridor west of the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. It is run by Lip Smacking Foodie Tours and lasts about two hours. The tour starts at Más Por Favor, 3879 Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89102, a taqueria with a hidden tequila speakeasy. From there the group visits GYU+ Social Lounge, a Japanese speakeasy tucked behind a sandwich shop, and finishes at Lullabar, an Isan Thai restaurant serving the spicy, herbal dishes of north-eastern Thailand. Each venue provides signature dishes and one signature cocktail or mocktail, and the evening closes with a final sweet bite, so the balance runs from savoury Mexican, Japanese and Thai plates to a dessert finish. The price of $125 per person includes taxes and gratuities. Not included are extra drinks, transport between the meeting point and home, and any purchases beyond the set tastings. The three stops are close together in Chinatown, so walking is limited and the pace is relaxed, with time at each table to eat and hear the guide describe the neighbourhood's development as Las Vegas's main hub for Asian restaurants. English is the working language and group sizes are kept small enough for conversation. Because the tour centres on cocktails and bar-style venues, guests must be of legal drinking age and carry identification; non-alcoholic mocktails are offered as an alternative to cocktails. Dietary needs, including vegetarian and gluten-free requests, should be arranged in advance with the operator, who can be reached through the booking calendar or at +1 888-681-4388. Spice levels in the Isan Thai dishes can be significant, and the operator can advise on milder choices. The tour suits visitors who want a night out away from the Strip, couples and small friend groups, and anyone interested in hidden bars. The evening start also avoids the worst of the summer daytime heat, and rideshare is the simplest way to reach and leave the Chinatown area.
