Chinatown

Published August 18, 2009 at 5:00 AM PDT

Author Bonnie Tsui writes that Las Vegas Chinatown was the first "master-planned Chinatown." In it she finds much of the same spirit that created the traditional immigrant communities in San Francisco and New York.
She talks about her new book, "American Chinatown: A People's
History of Five Neighborhoods."
