Las Vegas restaurants are among the best in the world; few places on earth can match the variety, quality and concentration of food offered on and off The Strip. And because we eat so well, it’s unacceptable that anyone in our valley should go to bed hungry. That’s why over 250 of Las Vegas’ top eateries are participating in Las Vegas Restaurant Week (which is actually a 12-day event), pairing decadent prix fixe tasting menus with support for Southern Nevada’s largest food bank, Three Square.
Dine Out for a Cause
The premise behind Restaurant Week, which runs from June 2 to June 13, is simple. Chefs create fixed-price multi-course menus, ranging from $20 to $120 per person. (Breakfasts and lunches are between $20 and $40, while dinners range from $30 to $120.) They then set aside a portion of each sale for Three Square.
The donations can be anywhere from $4 to $6 for each customer served. And because Three Square can provide three nutritious meals for each dollar donated, you’re able to have a delicious feast, while feeding between 12 and 18 hungry or food-insecure people.
Since its inception in 2007, Three Square has provided over 644 million pounds of food to people in need. In 2024, it was 49 million pounds – the equivalent of 41 million meals. Restaurant Week played a big part of it, with over 260 establishments raising over $380,000 (enough for more than a million meals) during Restaurant Week 2024. They’re hoping to do even better in 2025.
Something for Everyone
The list of participating restaurants is staggering. So regardless of your personal tastes or personal budget, you would have no trouble enjoying a different Restaurant Week menu every day of your Las Vegas stay.
Options include legendary restaurants like Wolfgang Puck’s Spago and Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House, as well as brand new hotspots such as Zaytinya by José Andrés (which opened this May). You can spend $30 for a dinner in the funky outdoor campground of Happy Camper Pizza, or $120 at Michael Mina’s fine-dining seafood restaurant, adjacent to the Bellagio Conservatory.
Try some world-class beef at ARIA’s Jean-Georges Steakhouse. Enjoy pristine sushi at Wakuda in The Venetian. Or treat the vegan in your life to a 100% plant-based feast at Chef Tal Ronnen’s Crossroads in Resorts World.
Those who like to venture off The Strip will find participating restaurants in all of Las Vegas’ trendy neighborhoods and scattered throughout the valley.
Cap off a day in The Arts District with a three-course steakhouse dinner at Main St. Provisions, or four-courses of French cuisine at Chef James Trees’ new Bar Boheme. Begin your exploration of the Downtown nightlife scene with a meal at the 13-time World Pizza Champ Tony Gemignani’s Pizza Rock, or a steak dinner at Triple George Grill. Or head to Chinatown where, in addition to the Asian offerings of China Mama (Chinese), Kaiseki Yuzu (Japanese) and Lamaii (Thai), you can experience James Beard Award semi-finalists like Sparrow + Wolf’s Brian Howard and EDO Tapas’ Oscar Amador.
