Spring Valley
A sprawling unincorporated township west of the Strip that quietly contains Chinatown and much of Vegas’s best local dining.
About Spring Valley
Spring Valley is the unincorporated township that wraps around the western edge of the Strip, running from Rainbow Boulevard west to the 215 Beltway. Administratively it’s one of Clark County’s largest communities, home to more than 200,000 residents; functionally, most visitors pass through it without realizing they left the Strip. The township quietly contains Chinatown, Palace Station, the Palms Casino Resort (on its eastern edge), and an outsized share of the city’s best independent restaurants. Japanese curry, Ethiopian injera, Salvadoran pupusas, and regional Chinese cuisines that barely exist elsewhere in the Southwest all have outposts on Spring Mountain Road, Decatur, or Tropicana. Treat Spring Valley as a dining-only destination — rideshare in for a meal, rideshare back — unless you are staying at the Palms or the Rio and can walk to the western edge of the Strip.
