Thanksgiving 2023: Events, specials and things to do in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Thanksgiving is right around the corner and this year, consumers could breath a little easier when looking at turkey prices.

According to the Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute, the cost of a 10 to 15-pound turkey has dropped 13% over the last month and fresh cranberries are about 20% cheaper compared to last year. However, canned good prices for some products have gone up. Cranberry sauce prices are up 60%, pumpkin puree is up 30%, and green beans are up 9%. Some companies, like Walmart, have rolled out a holiday meal calculator for families to estimate how much food is going to cost.

Many restaurants and businesses across Southern Nevada are offering special meal deals for those who want to cut down on the amount of time spent in the kitchen or eat out this Thanksgiving. We've rounded up deals across the valley.
