The Filipino community in Las Vegas is the fastest-growing Asian American group in the state, with more than 200,000 members.

As of April 2025, they had gained their very own cultural district recognized by Clark County. It’s located along a 1.2-mile stretch of South Maryland Parkway between Desert Inn Road and Flamingo Road.

Rozita Lee discusses plans for the new cultural district. She’s nationally recognized as an ambassador for the Asian American and Pacific Islander — or AAPI — community. Lee has lived in Vegas for over 40 years.


Guests: Rozita Lee: Asian American & Pacific Islander Advocate. Tiffany Biscoe: Owner of TIABI Coffee & Waffle
