Additionally, the veterans will be treated to a special Veterans Day dinner at Chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro, serving a custom menu created in partnership with Omaha Steaks. “We are privileged to honor our nation’s heroes and be part of such a wonderful event,” said Todd Simon, senior vice president and fifth-generation family owner of Omaha Steaks. “To bring those who serve our great nation around the table to share a gourmet steak dinner with family and loved ones is so important to our mission.” On Monday, 11 November, at 3:30 p.m., guests and team members of The Venetian Resort will honor the wounded warriors at a special Veterans Day ceremony inside the resort’s Grand Colonnade in The Venetian Lobby.
