Trucks gather to introduce their own unique culinary creations to attract audiences in the local community
Food trucks have invaded campus. Whether you’re in the mood for barbeque, panini, a deli sandwich, or sausage, there’s something for almost everyone at these kitchens on wheels.
The festival is taking place on Friday, April 26 through Sunday, April 28 with portion of the proceeds benefiting Three Square Food Bank.
The event will feature more than 30 food trucks and vendors including headliner White Castle, who will be bringing their grills to make their signature menu items for the very first time in Las Vegas.
Food trucks will be able to lease one of three reserved parking spaces downtown from the city for $5 per hour.
Operating a food truck legally in the city can be challenging because the trucks only are allowed to park at a meter for 30 minutes at a time, even though setting up the kitchen often takes half an hour.
Las Vegas City Council unanimously approved a motion Wednesday on three special downtown parking spaces that would allow food trucks to operate legally.
Any effort to open up the streets to food trucks is a step in the right direction. But this pilot program proposal is an inadequate solution to a problem the city itself created
An ordinance has been proposed that would designate special parking for food truck
Trucks are allowed to park at city parking meters for only half an hour at a time, even though it often takes them that much time to set up for the lunch rush
After passing an ordinance in October forbidding food trucks from setting up within 150 feet of brick-and-mortar restaurants, the city will consider a plan to give the mobile food vendors more space to operate.
