Las Vegas Restaurant Week Returns to Fight Food Insecurity
Get ready, Las Vegas! The highly anticipated Restaurant Week is back this June, inviting residents and visitors alike to savor the city’s diverse culinary scene while making a significant impact on local food insecurity. This popular 12-day event brings together hundreds of restaurants and food lovers to support Three Square Food Bank’s vital mission.
A Las Vegas Culinary Tradition for a Cause
Las Vegas Restaurant Week, now celebrating its 18th year, has become a cherished annual event in the valley. It’s a unique opportunity for the community to come together over exceptional food, all while contributing to a crucial cause: combating food insecurity across Southern Nevada. The core idea is simple yet powerful: participating restaurants offer special menus, and a portion of the proceeds from each meal directly benefits Three Square Food Bank.
How to Dine for a Difference
The event is scheduled to run from **Monday, June 2, through Friday, June 13**. This year, more than 250 restaurants across the Las Vegas valley are participating, offering an incredible array of cuisines. Whether you’re craving Italian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Brazilian, or Mexican, there’s a taste to satisfy every palate.
Participating establishments will feature special prix fixe (set price) menus for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and/or dinner. These menus are designed to offer great value while supporting a good cause, with price points ranging from an accessible $20 up to $120. Crucially, $4, $5, or $6 from each of these specially priced meals will be donated directly to Three Square Food Bank. Beyond traditional restaurants, approximately 20 food service businesses, including local bars, breweries, and coffee shops, will also offer special promotions with proceeds contributing to the nonprofit.
Making a Tangible Impact on Southern Nevada
The impact of Las Vegas Restaurant Week on the community is profound. Beth Martino, President and CEO of Three Square, emphasized the event’s significance, especially given the current economic climate. “We know that many in our community are feeling the strain of rising costs and growing uncertainty,” Martino stated. “This event offers a powerful way to enjoy our city’s vibrant culinary scene while making a real difference. When you dine out, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re helping provide nutritious food to families, seniors, and children across Southern Nevada.”
The success of previous years underscores this commitment. In 2024, Restaurant Week united 260 restaurants and businesses, successfully raising over $380,000. This impressive sum translated into more than 1,142,440 meals for residents facing food insecurity in the valley. Since its inception in 2007, the event has collectively helped provide over 10 million meals to those in need.
