Restaurants offer family-style Thanksgiving dinners, ready for takeout
Despite best practices of masking, sanitizing, social distancing and everything else, many of us remain wary of dining inside restaurants. But that doesn’t mean all of us are ready to take on the task of preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
Many, many restaurants across Southern Nevada will serve Thanksgiving dinner, and almost without exception, they’ll be willing to pack up a meal and let you take it to go.
But dinner from a clamshell box sort of defeats — or maybe deflates — the convivial spirit of gathering around the Thanksgiving dinner table, and a large number of local restaurants clearly understand that this year. And so many of them are offering family dinners that may not range from soup to nuts but definitely don’t forget things like the cranberry sauce and green bean casserole. Here’s a sampling.
