Bobby Flay’s restaurant at Caesars Palace recognized for great community service, five consecutive Restaurant Weeks in a row
With Spring Las Vegas Restaurant Week recently coming under wraps and Fall Las Vegas Restaurant Week fast approaching, Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace took home the Gold Plate donor award for selling the most covers for the fifth time in a row.
On Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace was awarded the top Gold Plate donor for the third annual Spring Las Vegas Restaurant Week. For the week of March 7 through March 14, locals and tourists had the opportunity to dine at some of Caesars Entertainment’s most popular restaurants while also helping to end hunger in Southern Nevada. All participating restaurants prepared specially designed menus of at least three courses and donated either $3, $4 or $5 from every meal purchase to the Three Square Food Bank. Mesa Grill sold 1,997 Restaurant Week covers translating to a $9,985 donation in the spring 2014 or nearly 29,955 meals for Southern Nevada. Over the course of five years, Mesa Grill has raised over $52,000 through the Restaurant Week program, contributing more than 10,000 meals.
Las Vegas Restaurant Week began in 2007 as a way to give locals and tourists the opportunity to help out by dining out. This year marks the third annual Spring Las Vegas Restaurant Week and the eighth annual Fall Las Vegas Restaurant Week, each featuring a variety of fine dining offerings at prix fixe prices across the valley. Proceeds from Las Vegas Restaurant Week benefit Three Square, Southern Nevada’s only food bank. Three Square currently provides more than 30 million pounds of food and grocery product – the equivalent of more than 25 million meals – per year to more than 600 Program Partners including non-profit and faith-based organizations, schools and feeding sites throughout Southern Nevada. Three Square is a member of the Feeding America network of food banks. For additional information visit www.threesquare.org or www.helpoutdineoutlv.org.
