Las Vegas Mixtape v21: Late Night Dining Scene, Twang Heaven, and Dazzling Art

Track #1: Krung Siam Thai Restaurant & Bar @Chinatown

You can’t miss this “hidden gem” that occupies excellent real estate in Spring Mountain Square at the corner of Spring Mountain and Valley View. Open since 2009 and gorgeously remodeled during the pandemic, Krung Siam Thai Restaurant & Bar underlines Vegas’ late-night dining scene, serving food and drinks from noon to 4am every day.

Settle into one of their tufted circular leather booths in the spacious dining room and admire the grand high ceiling, modern lighting fixtures, and the attractive combination of brick, dark wood, and mirrors, not to mention the inviting L-shaped bar.

Krung Siam is notable for its creatively conceived Thai dishes, like their “Red Curry Crab Cake” and the irresistible, buttery Cognac-marinated “Ribeye Steak Crying Tiger,” served with Thai tamarind sauce. It’s also easy to fall for their traditional drunken noodle and Thai fried rice dishes.

At a relaxing dinner here recently—with consistently attentive service from 8pm-midnight—it was cool to see the momentum build after 10pm when sharply dressed folks began to arrive for the late happy hour. It lasts until 3:00am with half-off select cocktails and appetizers.
