Thanks for checking out if this group is for you! 
This dinner MeetUp was started because we want to connect educated young professionals in Las Vegas between the ages of 21 - 39 who share a passion for ethnic dining, travel, and culture.
We usually support local restaurants on their slow nights (Sunday - Wednesday).
Our members come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, but value education a professional level of accomplishment. Fewer than 25% of southern Nevadans have a college degree. If we can connect people with similar values, maybe we can transform the community to make this city a better place to live in.
This meetup group will be limited to 150 members. Join before all the spaces fill up.
What to expect
Each meet up will accommodate between 10 - 12 seats at the dinner table so it allows everyone in the group to get to know each other personally. Meals (not including drinks or alcohol) range in price from $12 - $35 per person with the occasional splurge, but everyone will have an idea of the price before hand. We split the check evenly with gratuity included, but if you ordered alcohol you'll be responsible for what you consumed. Most of the time we order family style so everyone can try a variety of dishes. Dinner is usually about 2 hours filled with food, fun, and laughter.
We understand that going to a new meet up can be intimidating if you don't know everyone, which is why we keep our gatherings small. Everyone in the group is friendly and very welcoming.
Please bring cash with smaller bills to make it easy to settle the check or you'll have to wash dishes.
