Have you heard of Restaurant Week? Well if you’re a Vegas local, you probably know all about it.
Restaurant Week, spread into two weeks for 2011, is a unique experience for everyone in the Las Vegas area to finally get the chance to try out all of your favorite restaurants throughout Las Vegas, regardless if it’s generally in your price range, or not.
More importantly, though, it’s all for a good cause.
Starting five years ago with its first ever Restaurant Week, Three Square, a Las Vegas food bank, receives help from local restaurants in what is now an annual event. This year, over 120 restaurants donated to this special cause.
For the last two weeks, Vegas has supported the hungry and spread awareness of the many in need of a little help.
Restaurant Week is a special week where restaurants create menus just for this event, with special prices ranging from $20.11-$50.11 so you have options of how much you want to spend—and donate.
Restaurants who participate is this special function donate the price of the meal to Three Square in an effort to gain awareness for those in need and to help end hunger.
Restaurants are excited to be part of this special promotion, and to do something good for mankind.
Rick Moonen, executive chef of RM Seafood at Mandalay Bay says, “I was already really excited about helping end hunger in the United States…Being involved in food-service industry, having the luxury of such great products, I get to give back to the community.”
Restaurant Week goes all throughout Las Vegas, and not just on the strip. There are a lot of restaurants all throughout the big city excited to be part of such a large humanitarian project.
And as Brian Burton, president and CEO of Three Square, says, “Hunger is a solvable issue. This is something we can solve together.”
What a great event to take part in.
