Vegas Eats: Le Thai in downtown Las Vegas — VIDEO

Dan Coughlin gets asked a lot why he owns a Thai restaurant.

He says because he's Thai, but noone believes him. His half-Irish half-Thai ancestry fools his restaurant's crowd.

But no one can doubt his skills with the cuisine. Coughlin's greatest goal with opening Le Thai was to throw out the sometimes awkward, stuffy feeling felt at most Thai restaurants and instead have a chill, simple Thai food on-the-street vibe.

After celebrating their four year anniversary this past Nov. 1, Le Thai has proved itself a gem in the downtown dining scene in Las Vegas.
