LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — New artwork wrapped around a double-decker bus is celebrating the culture of Las Vegas’ Chinatown neighborhood.
Clark County on Thursday unveiled the custom-wrapped bus and led a guided tour of the district’s public art.
Commissioner Justin Jones, the Clark County Redevelopment Agency and the Clark County Public Arts Office hosted the Chinatown Art Crawl at Chinatown Plaza.
Guests boarded the bus for a tour of more than 60 murals and utility box art pieces created through the Chinatown Mural Art Project and the ZAP! Spring Mountain initiative.
Both are part of the Inspiring Spring Mountain Redevelopment Plan, which Clark County Community and Economic Development manages.
“Public art is a powerful economic engine that transforms ordinary streets into vibrant destinations,” Jones said. “The Chinatown Art Crawl celebrates the incredible cultural identity and economic vitality of the Spring Mountain Corridor. By bringing local art directly to the streets — and onto a mobile showcase running down Las Vegas Boulevard — we are inviting residents and visitors alike to experience the rich heritage and creativity of our Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities.”
Called “Chinatown Day and Night,” the bus wrap comes from local artist Loisse Ledres. It celebrates the ways Chinatown brings joy to visitors, pairing a daytime scene on one side with a nighttime scene on the other.
The bus will promote Chinatown to Las Vegas tourists and visitors over the next year.
According to the county, Chinatown recorded 24.3 million non-resident visits from August 2025 through July this year, a 4% increase from the previous year.
On peak days, Chinatown averages 80,000 to 90,000 people.
