Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The return of Las Vegas Restaurant Week following the pandemic-related cancelation has proven to be so popular that select restaurants will be continuing with the promotion for an extra week, through June 25th.
Friday was supposed to be the final day Las Vegas Restaurant Week, with proceeds going to benefit Three Square Food Bank.
This year's event took a different approach, allowing Three Square to give back to the local culinary community while feeding families and individuals throughout Southern Nevada.
“Las Vegas is a restaurant mecca, home to everything from one-of-a-kind local eateries to celebrity chef-inspired, fine-dining spots on the Strip,” said Brian Burton, Three Square president and CEO. “So many of these establishments were impacted by the health and economic fallout brought on by COVID-19. Southern Nevada’s culinary community has come together every year for more than a decade to support Three Square and the fight against hunger through Las Vegas Restaurant Week – now it’s our turn to support them! When diners enjoy a meal during Restaurant Week, they are providing meals for hungry neighbors while bolstering our local restaurants.”
Last year, Three Square suspended Las Vegas Restaurant Week due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to focus its efforts on emergency food distribution.
Three Square traditionally collects $4-$6 of every meal sold from participating restaurants. This year, in order to provide additional support to local restaurants, Three Square is requiring a donation of just $1 per cover.
Menus feature a variety of flavors that are globally inspired, including Italian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Brazilian, Mexican and more.
