M.E.N.U.S. – Thank you for making it a huge success

Tuesday November 2, 2021

Dear Friends, Supporters and Students,

On behalf of our board and students, I’d like to thank everyone for helping to make M.E.N.U.S. 2021: Glitz & Glam of Vintage Vegas held on Friday, October 15th, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas an overwhelming success.

Over 1,000 guests in their sparkly and most glamourous attire attended M.E.N.U.S. and enjoyed more than 50 participating restaurants and bars including: Superfrico, Olives, Zenshin Asian Kitchen, Scarpetta, Hexx, Hugo’s Cellar, T-Bones Chophouse, Foundation Room, Money, Baby! And so much more. M.E.N.U.S. 2021 honored Mr. Las Vegas- Wayne Newton. This year’s event payed homage to our great city with a delectable dine-around, upbeat music, strolling entertainment, fabulous drinks, successful silent auction, and memorable after-party.

M.E.N.U.S. would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors and partners, including presenting sponsors Virgin Hotels Las Vegas; gold sponsors Anheuser-Busch, Break Thru Beverage, E&J Gallo Winery, Johnson Brothers of Nevada, Nevada Beverage Co., Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, and Sysco; and all of our valued silver and bronze sponsors, listed below. A huge thank you to Wendy and the team at Virgin Hotels, Cashman photo, Nikki Neau, ILEA, the ECF board and staff and to everyone who worked so tirelessly to put the night on. I am very proud of our students for playing an active role in the execution of M.E.N.U.S. 2021. Their responsibilities included overseeing registration, coordinating the silent auction, assisting with the VIP lounge and the set up and break down of the event.

With all of the glitz and glamour of M.E.N.U.S., it is important to recognize the overall purpose of our annual event: to raise money for deserving local students. These young individuals are inspirations for us all and continue to out-shine and out-perform our highest expectations every year. Our full-ride scholarships are now available on the PEF website or by clicking here. As always, you can stay up to date at www.ecflv.org or by following on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Best,
