ELV note: We don’t usually re-print press releases in their entirety (we leave it to other, more serious journalistic endeavors in town to do that), but we can’t say no to Julie Murray or anyone at Three Square, so we thought we’d give them a shout out in exactly the format they wish.

Three Square Offers a Night of Fine Dining and Entertainment at Annual Benefit
Las Vegas’ Finest Restaurants Couple with Rock Legend – Smash Mouth – for DISH Las Vegas
Las Vegas – Three Square Food Bank is proud to announce alternative rock legend, Smash Mouth, as the official DISH Las Vegas headliner. DISH Las Vegas, Three Square Food Banks’ annual benefit event, is presented by Smith’s Food & Drug Stores and will take place Thursday, Sept. 30 from 6:30-10 p.m. at the Palms Pool and Bungalows, at the Palms Casino Resort.
Guests will be treated to an exciting and unique culinary experience including scrumptious tasting stations by more than 20 of Las Vegas’ best restaurants, a variety of scrumptious signature cocktails, an impressive live and silent auction, live entertainment and the opportunity to interact with the city’s top Chefs and their close friends.
After mixing and mingling, eating and drinking, guests will be ushered into neighboring Rain Nightclub for a headline performance by Smash Mouth. Smash Mouth has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and is best known for hits such as “Walkin’ on the Sun,” “All Star” and “Can’t Get Enough of you Baby.” Having long since established itself as the ultimate true-to-life California party band, the vibe surrounding Smash Mouth is indeed – at its core – about having fun.
