The Lunar New Year, known throughout the world as Chinese New Year started on the 17th of February. Tradition requires that festivities continue for 15 days from the start of celebrations, in order to drive away evil from communities.

Schnitzer Properties and Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant announce the Final Lion Dance will be held at, their flagship Nevada property, The Center at Spring Mountain on Tuesday March 3, 2026 beginning at 1600hours or 4:00pm. Traditional Lion dance will be performed by Lohan School of Shaolin. At this Finale event, patrons, guest, and the public are welcomed to watch and walk with the Lion performers as they start their ritual at The Center at Spring Mountain on 4044 Schiff Drive, dancing and drumming their way across the shopping complex onto Valley View Blvd, towards Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant, and throughout the entire Chinatown property.

Performing at the end of Chinese New Year is in essence the start of the Lantern Festival, symbolizing reunion, Harmony of Society and the start of Spring. Kung Fu Restaurant is once again honored to maintain tradition, in partnering with Schnitzer Properties, in presenting our neighbors with a live Lion ceremonial dance. The Lohan Artist will once again be welcomed into the dining room and throughout the restaurant performing their carefully choreographed ritual, including sealing in Good Fortune by conducting the Cai Qing ritual, where the Lions pluck a hanging Green Leafy Vegetable, ceremoniously ingesting, then expelling the leftover onto the physical property owner.
This legendary ritual Locks in Prosperity throughout the entire year.

The Lohan School of Shaolin is the foremost martial arts experts of Chinese Gung Fu in Las Vegas. Their ceremonial dance has become a tradition every Chinese New Year, in and around major resorts, and businesses in Las Vegas. It is only befitting that they should Finish off the New Lunar Year at the first Thai and Chinese Restaurant in Las Vegas.

The Lunar New Year, which last for up to 15 days, starts with the first day in the new Lunar calendar. The Calendar is based off of astrological events-how the movement and positions of celestial objects-stars and planets align with one another. This is why the New Year shifts from one day to another, every year or cycle, which usually falls
between mid January through the middle of February. The Lantern Festival begins immediately after Lunar New Year, marking the Finale of the Chinese New Year season. The Red Lanterns as they are Lighted up symbolizes hope of a bright Future, discarding darkness.
