	Chinatown, Las Vegas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Las Vegas Chinatown resembles many of the new suburban "Chinatowns" found in Southern California and Silicon Valley, in the form of sprawl with generously large parking lots.
		At first, "Chinatown" was conceived for the purpose of serving Chinese-speaking tourists and businesses visiting Las Vegas from the Southern California area and Asia.
		At present, the population of Asian Americans in Las Vegas is 22,879 and comprise 4.8% of the total population as of the 2000 Census.

		Las Vegas is sometimes called "Sin City" due to the popularity of legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages any time of the day and night, various forms and degrees of adult entertainment, and legalized prostitution in nearby counties (Nevada law prohibits prostitution in counties which have large populations; see Prostitution in Nevada).
		Las Vegas's incorporated population of 478,434 is an understatement of the city's recent population boom, as much of the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area is unincorporated.

	ipedia.com: Chinatown Article
		Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of land to Chinese outside of a restricted geographical area and which promoted the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
		Chinatowns were established in European port cities as Chinese traders settled down in the area.
		In Francophone regions (such as France and Quebec, Canada), Chinatown is often referred to as le quartier Chinois (meaning "the Chinese Quarter"; plural: les quartiers Chinois) and the Spanish-language term is usually el barrio Chino ("the Chinese neighborhood"; plural: los barrios chinos), used in Spain and Latin America.

		That thought prompted him to launch into a discursive analysis of the roofs in the Chinatown Plaza that his office oversees -- where what is now known as Chinatown began a decade ago -- and the roofs in a newer plaza directly east along Spring Mountain Road.
