An Insider’s Guide to Little Ethiopia

Last month, the Clark County Commission voted to officially designate the neighborhood around Flamingo and Decatur“Little Ethiopia,” creating the county’s first-ever cultural district. So today, we’ve got an insider’s guide to Little Ethiopia: Community member and educator Messeret Sertse takes co-host Vogue Robinson out for a grocery store tour, dinner at her favorite restaurant, and a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Messeret talks about what this cultural district means for her and the next generation of young Ethiopians in Las Vegas, and how the community at large can appreciate Ethiopian culture here, too.

Here are some stops to make on your next tour of Little Ethiopia:

• Melkam Market
• Unity Market
• Yeshi Mart
• Selam Market
• Peace Ethiopian Market & Restaurant
• Cafe Luhena
• Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant
