Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Nevada Restaurant Association (NvRA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Nevada's restaurant industry. It serves as a centralized resource for restaurant operators and vendors, focusing on promotion, protection, and education of the sector through programs, events, and advocacy. The association organizes industry events such as trade shows, culinary awards, and networking gatherings, and engages with state and federal lawmakers on issues affecting food safety, codes, and business operations. NvRA collaborates with the National Restaurant Association to present a coordinated voice for operators at the state and national levels, and it runs education programs such as ServSafe and ProStart to strengthen the industry workforce. The organization's Las Vegas location situates it within the heart of Nevada's restaurant activity, and it engages with state and county officials on issues including the food code. In 2020, NvRA partnered with Sahara Las Vegas and World Central Kitchen to provide meals to healthcare workers, illustrating its role in community support during a health crisis.
