The $28.6 billion federal COVID-19 relief fund for restaurants and other food establishments provided a third round of pandemic funding meant to serve as a lifeline for struggling restaurants nationwide. But only 30 percent of Nevada restaurants that applied for federal assistance through the SBA’s program received grants, according to new data released last Friday by the U.S. Small Business Association.

Of the 763 Nevada restaurants and caterers that received grants totaling $267,504,133, 579 of these businesses are Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson and constitutes a bulk of the grants, which do not have to be paid back by restaurant owners if used by March 2023. In Nevada, 2,487 food establishments — representing restaurants, bars, bakeries, food trucks, brewpubs, wineries, taverns, inns, and distilleries, which were eligible for pandemic relief from the SBA in this round of funding — applied for funding from the program, part of the American Rescue Plan stimulus bill, signed into law in March 2021.

While no Nevada restaurants received the maximum grant of $10 million, four restaurants and nightclubs received $5 million in funding — Pampas Churrascaria Las Vegas LLC, which is Pampas Churrascaria Brazilian Grille at the Miracle Mile Shops; Buenas Noches LLC, known as Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops; SF Paris LLC, operating Hexx Kitchen & Bar at Paris Las Vegas; and Chateau Nightclub LLC, working as Chateau Nightclub at Paris Las Vegas.

The $28.6 billion federal COVID-19 relief fund for restaurants and other food establishments opened for applications on May 3 but closed on June 30 after it ran out of money. The agency approved fewer than one-third of the 370,000 applications for funding. The SBA said the portal closed on Wednesday, July 14, leaving restaurateurs wondering if more funds would be coming.

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund planned to prioritize businesses owned by women, veterans, and people from economically and socially disadvantaged groups who missed out on earlier rounds of financial relief — with a 21-day prioritization period for restaurants owned by those groups.
