Weera Thai - Rainbow

Weera Thai opens in southwest Las Vegas. | Eater Vegas

"A respected Las Vegas Thai restaurant has relocated to a spacious 2,897-square-foot corner spot at the Commons at Warm Springs near Rainbow Boulevard and Warm Springs Road, now open for lunch and dinner. Guests enter through red doors (a symbol of good luck) into a single main dining room with booths, traditional seating, abundant Edison lamps, floral arrangements and an open-plan kitchen. The kitchen offers a lengthy, Northern Thailand–inspired menu that blends classic dishes and street-food favorites — highlights include its famed crispy duck, curries, larb preparations, seafood, noodles and various street-food creations — plus lunch specials and a happy hour that runs from 4 to 10 p.m. The operation draws on deep roots (origins in Chiang Mai dating to 1978) and an international presence with a Paris outpost, and locally it has been a destination for nearly a dozen years with previous locations on Sahara Avenue and in Chinatown. Current hours are daily 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. and 4:30–10:00 p.m." - Bradley Martin
