Restaurant Week Returns to Las Vegas

Posted on 26 August 2010

Once again, Three Square will be partnering with the finest restaurants in Las Vegas to bring you Restaurant Week August 30 – September 5, 2010. This is your chance to sample the cuisine of world-famous chefs at a fixed price with the proceeds going to help Three Square end hunger in Southern Nevada. Participating restaurants create special menus for Restaurant Week with a fixed, lower-price rate. This year, prices are $20.10, $30.10 and $50.10. Not all participating restaurants have meals at all three price points, but all offer at least one meal at one of the prices.

Celebrity chef Hubert Keller will showcase his talents on the spin tables as special guest DJ during the party.
