It’s not to late for Vegas area residents and visitors to eat, shop, and enjoy their way through the San Gennaro Feast located at 333 Blue Diamond Road in Las Vegas in the parking lot of the Silverton Casino Lodge. There’s fabulous food, exciting entertainment, shopping, a traditional midway, and an opportunity to learn more about some local political candidates.

The San Gennaro Feast is held in honor of the Saint, San Gennaro. Unique exhibits at this Feast include the Mob Experience Bus, parked at the Feast to encourage visitors to sign up for a specially priced year long ticket for the Experience due to open in December at the Tropicana.
