Vegas Golden Knights Hosting Food Drive For Three Square Food Bank

Author Sammi Reeves

On Thursday, November 17th, the Vegas Golden Knights will be hosting a food drive before their game to collect non-perishable food items for those in need.

According to News 3, “donations from both the food drive and the 51/49 Raffle held during Thursday’s game will support Three Square Food Bank, a member of Feeding America.” Coaching staff and significant others of the players will be collecting items at Toshiba Plaza until the start of the first period against the Arizona Coyotes.

If you’re unable to donate on Thursday, non-perishable food items will also be collected at City National Arena until Thursday. So be sure to bring some non-perishable food items this week when, where, and if you’re able, and help Three Square Food Bank prepare as we inch closer and closer towards the holiday season!

Why You Should Donate

There are many reasons why you should donate to the Golden Knights’ food drive. First and foremost, it is for a good cause. The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, and by donating at this food drive, you can help make someone’s holiday a little brighter. Additionally, this is a great way to support your local community. The Golden Knights are committed to giving back and making a positive impact in the Las Vegas area, and so is Three Square Food Bank. By donating to this food drive, you can help both achieve that goal. It’s also always nice to show your support for your favorite team! Go Knights Go!

What You Should Donate

Non-perishable food items are the best type of donation for this food drive. Especially cans! Bring as many cans as you can handle, and let’s make the Vegas Golden Knights’ food drive a major success. Some other examples of non-perishable food items include canned goods, dry pasta, rice, cereal, and peanut butter.

16 Best Bites In The Las Vegas Valley You May Not Have Tried

Last night at Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa, it was the preview opening of the third location of Lotus Of Siam. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous (see for yourself) and lives up to the incredible food that put them on the map.

That map started on East Sahara in an inward facing strip mall that, if you didn’t know what you were looking for, you’d miss it. Ambiance wasn’t necessarily on the menu, but the food was absolutely incredible. Their location being jam packed almost made the food more impressive!

Another former hole in the wall is Nora’s Italian Cuisine on West Flamingo. Before it inhabited it’s absolutely beautiful building, they were just down the road tucked behind an 1970’s era Arby’s. But somehow the word got out and the locals got in to try their delicious food!

The Las Vegas valley is filled with restaurants that are amazing, but are trapped in a strip mall. Call them whatever you want: “hole in the wall”, “hidden gems” or more… but they are culinary experiences you’ve just got to try.

Today on the show, we talked about some of our favorite restaurants in town that might not be as popular as they deserve to be. Listeners poured in to offer up their own suggestions as well! From Asian to Italian, great subs to food that is authentically Australian, the list covers a wide gamut! We collected all of the suggestions we received or mentioned and lined them all up right here for you to check out and potentially try!

We all get stuck in a culinary rut and don’t know where to start on trying new restaurants. So, take a look at some suggestions and if we missed any, drop us a line and tell us where else to try!

  • Kabuto-edomae Sushi

    Address: 5040 W Spring Mountain Road, Las Vegas
    Website: kabutolv.com

    When you walk into the restaurant – if you’re even able to find it – you’ll be greeted by a handful of seats. That explains the days long wait for a reservation. You’ll sit at the sushi bar, tell them how hungry you are, and the chefs will prepare some incredible dishes that you may not have ordered on your own, but will delightfully challenge you. You’ll leave the place changed! It’s not cheap, but it’s an amazing special occasion and date night spot.

  • Chicago Joe's

    Address: 829 S 4th Street, Las Vegas
    Website: chicagojoesrestaurant.com

    Blink and you might miss it. The hole in the wall brick building in downtown used to be a house. Now it’s home to delicious Italian and Chicago-Style comfort food. The prices are very reasonable, the venue is cozy, and you’ll experience something you may have driven past a thousand times.

  • Munch-A-Sub

    Address: 5320 Cameron Street, Las Vegas
    Website: munchasublasvegas.com

    Subs that will absolutely bust your gut. Opened by an old-school east coast uncle, his nieces run the joint now and the subs are no frills but spectacular. Their #29 “Munch Philly Hot Sub” features roast beef, provolone, mushrooms, onions and special seasoning and will have you sufficiently full for days, potentially.

  • The Hush Puppy

    Address: 7185 W Charleston Blvd & 1820 N Nellis Blvd
    Website: thehushpuppy.com

    The restaurant has been in town since 1975 and brings delicious “down south” dining that will make your mouth water. Crab legs, shrimp, ribs and even their namesake: hush puppies. Our listener Darleen says “they have really good alligator tail”. Oh, my.

  • Piero's Italian Cuisine

    Address: 355 Convention Center Dr, Las Vegas
    Website: pieroscuisine.com

    If you don’t head towards the convention center often, you may have never crossed paths with it. But Piero’s, directly across the street from the LVCC, is old school class personified. Waiters and ushers that have been there for decades, delicious dishes like Ossobuco that will blow you away, and incredible people watching. Shawn has eaten here many times, and you’ll always find a big name breaking bread here.

  • Jessie Rae's BBQ

    Address: 5611 S Valley View Blvd, Las Vegas & 308 N Boulder Hwy, Henderson
    Website: jessieraesbbq.com

    The place isn’t much to look at from the outside, but inside you’ll find some of the best barbecue that you’ll ever sink your teeth into. Sandwiches, platters, sauces and more… amazing reviews for a sneaky hidden gem.

  • Pacific Diner

    Address: 18 W Pacific Ave, Henderson
    Website: pacificdinernv.com

    Our listener RJ suggested this one. He brings his kid by for breakfast regularly and raves about it. The menu is a no-frills breakfast stop. Not a chain, just an old school ham and egger. Which is the way we like it.

  • Golden Steer Steakhouse

    Address: 308 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas
    Website: goldensteerlasvegas.com

    If you’ve driven past this location just off the strip and didn’t give it a second look, you’re making a huge mistake. Golden Steer may look a little dated on the outside, and it may look old school on the inside, but the food has held up for generations. It opened back in 1958 and all the “greats” like Sinatra and Elvis ate there. The mob ate there AND the sheriff. It is that good. Polish off your meal with their signature Bananas Foster and you’ll leave happy. You’ll want to dress up though, no beach bums allowed.

  • Los Olivos Ristorante

    Address: 3759 E Desert Inn Rd, Las Vegas
    Website: losolivosristorante.business.site

    Right off DI & Sandhill, you’ll find one of the highest rated Italian restaurants in the city. Los Olivos Ristorante sports a 4.8 out of 5 on Google Reviews and a 5 star rating on Yelp. Just click on the link, look at the dishes, and tell us you’re not hungry. We haven’t tried this one, but one of our listeners dropped us a text saying it is great. It’s now on our radar for dinner soon!

  • Panna Thai Restaurant

    Address: 6015 S Fort Apache Rd #100, Las Vegas
    Website: pannathai.com

    If you’re looking for unintimidating Thai food (sometimes you walk into an amazing, authentic restaurant but don’t understand anything on the menu), this is your place. They have a massive menu of, essentially, Thai tapas. Their Crab Wontons are absolutely delicious. Pictures of dishes all over. You’ll love this place for dine in or take out.

  • The Steak House at Circus Circus

    Address: 2880 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas
    Website: circuscircus.com

    When you first hear “the Circus Circus has one of the best steak houses in the city,” your eyes may roll. But trust the thousands who can attest – it is not a clown show. The Steak House at Circus Circus has the big red leather seats, the exposed wood and the ambiance that prepare you for a steak-cation. The menu is simple and stupendous, with a mesquite charcoal broiler cooking up some delicious cuts of beef… and their seafood is nothing to shake a stick at!

  • Aussie Project Pies

    Online Ordering Only
    Website: theaussieproject.com

    Ask anyone from Australia what one of their national favorite foods are, you’re sure to hear “sausage rolls”. You don’t have to hop on a several hours long flight to try one. “The Aussie Project” serves up delicious eats from down under right here in the valley. You can find select products at “Pedal & Pour” and “Mothership Coffee” locations, but their bread and butter is home delivery. Free delivery every Friday… we’ve always wanted to try one, and we just might.

  • Piezanos Pizza & More

    Address: 2880 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas
    Website: piezanospizzaandmore.com

    When in doubt, pizza. It’s almost certainly going to be something agrees on. Our listener Keith is a big fan, he suggested it! With 4.5 stars on both Google and Yelp, it looks like a safe bet! Plus the “& More” seems to not be a throwaway line. Several in the reviews swear by the subs and wings.

  • Spaghetty Western

    Address: 10690 Southern Highlands Pkwy #100, Las Vegas
    Website: spaghettywestern.com

    Shawn is guilty of not stopping in despite being in the neighborhood. That’s going to change. Our listener Brandi says she loves it, and the reviews check out! Italian food, pizza, sandwiches and even a full bar. It’s a bit hidden from the main road, but you’ll find it on the south end of the shopping center.

  • North End Pizza

    Address: 6440 N Durango Dr, Las Vegas
    Website: northendpizzanv.com

    Shawn swears by this one. Up in the northwest is a pizza joint that is straight outta Boston. The original owner was from Boston and believed in her heart that there was something about the water in Las Vegas that made doing the dough “right” impossible. So she rang up her family back in Boston and they get the dough shipped from the east coast several times a year. The result is an authentic Boston/New York style pie.

  • David Wong's Pan Asian

    Address: 2980 S Durango Dr #101, Las Vegas
    Website: orderdavidspanasian.com

    This one is right next to the 102.7 VGS studios, and if you drive down Durango fast enough, you’re sure to miss it. But the food is fantastic and the reviews match. It’s relatively casual on the inside, but the food is packed with flavor! Just take it easy on the heat. Whatever you think your “spicy” number is, you may want to cut it in half.
