Las Vegas Celebrates Earth Month with a Splash of Sustainable Eating and Community Fun
Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement this April as the city goes all out to celebrate Earth Month! The vibrant community has a jam-packed schedule of events aimed at raising awareness about environmental sustainability, while delicious food options take center stage—particularly at the swanky ARIA Resort & Casino!
Sustainable Dining at Proper Eats Food Hall
Kickstarting the celebrations, Proper Eats Food Hall has unveiled its Earth Day initiative featuring mouthwatering, sustainable menu items from Happy Leaf. This popular eatery is focusing on crafting the freshest, wholesome dishes that not only tantalize taste buds but also honor Mother Earth.
Guests can indulge in chef-crafted salads crafted with quality ingredients. One standout is the enticing salmon salad, which boasts soy sesame-glazed salmon perched atop a bed of baby kale, spinach, and loads of fresh goodies like cucumber, edamame, avocado, radish, and pickled red onion, all drizzled with a garlic ponzu dressing—and all for just $22. Meanwhile, the Waldorf chicken salad is a hearty, refreshing mix of chicken salad, arugula, apples, and grapes, topped off with a delightful poppyseed vinaigrette for only $19!
If you’re feeling creative, why not build your own salad? Starting at just $15, you can customize your dish with fresh greens, a variety of toppings, and premium proteins like chicken, tuna, or hard-boiled eggs! With all these scrumptious options, sustainable eating has never been this tasty!
Community Events Galore
But that’s not all! The greater Las Vegas area is also bursting with events throughout April, all aimed at bringing families and friends together to rally behind sustainability. On April 12, the City of North Las Vegas gave away an impressive 100 free trees to local residents at Prentiss Walker Park, with volunteers on hand to lend a helping hand in planting them.
As the month rolls on, mark your calendars for April 26, when North Las Vegas will hold a volunteer day at Pittman Wash Trail. This day is all about rolling up your sleeves for a cleanup and trail maintenance! For those in Henderson, be sure to check out the Earth Day Recycled 5K and a trail cleanup at Cornerstone Park—it’s already going to be a fun-filled experience!
On April 19, you can take part in a cleanup at Mountain’s Edge Regional Park, or join the free Earth Day celebration at the Spring Mountains Visitor Center, where there will be food trucks and family-friendly activities to enjoy. Feeling more educational? Springs Preserve will have conservation activities and garden tours, while the City of Henderson treats residents to another tree giveaway on April 26 at Wells Park!
Cocktails with a Conscience
