It’s Boba Tea, Not Bubble Tea!
One of the grooviest kinds of relief you can have if those temperatures get too high is a delicious rush of boba tea. Some of you might refer to it as bubble tea, and either way, the effects they have to revive you on a frustratingly hot day are considerable.
Those tea drinks, which were originated in Taiwan, are referred to by those chewy little pearls (or tapioca balls) at the bottom of the cup, and while you can find a boba tea spot anywhere in town, but the best of them can be found around Chinatown.
Located just east of Las Vegas Boulevard on Spring Mountain Road, Las Vegas’s Chinatown (C-Town or A-Street as locals call it) is actually a long stretch of Asian shopping malls, retail shops, restaurants and boba tea spots that cover at least three miles from Valley View and extending out to Rainbow Boulevard.
As you can imagine, this string of Asian influences (hence the nickname A-Street) is a neat break from some of the formal pleasures that you normally get from the Strip. And really, any tea hut can deliver the goods, but if you have to try one, head to the main Chinatown Shopping Mall
and try the No 1 Boba Tea.
Anything from a tall, cool delivery of watermelon, passion fruit, strawberry or a peach drink with the customary pearls and a very rich juice blend (it rocks when it’s in “slush” form) just begs for consumption when you’re on your Summer holiday. So consider C-town when you are in town, it’s a great cultural curiosity if you’re game enough.
