From June 5-16, participating restaurants across the valley offered three-course prix-fixe menus at price points ranging from $20 to $80 with $4, $5 or $6 from each cover donated to Three Square. Special promotions were also offered by participating food service businesses with a fixed portion of proceeds donated. Furthermore, 70 restaurants and food service businesses extended their participation in Las Vegas Restaurant Week through June 23.
