I love taking my family out to eat, but feeding everyone can get expensive fast. Sometimes getting one or two of the kids’ meals free is enough to make the difference between saying, “Let’s just eat at home,” and actually getting out of the house for dinner.
I’ve pulled together some of the current Kids Eat Free deals around Las Vegas so you can plan dinner around the nights that will save you the most money.
Last updated: August 18, 2026
Deals can change, and some are limited to participating locations, so I always recommend clicking the restaurant name and double-checking before loading everyone into the car.
Monday
Outback Steakhouse
Every Monday, get a free kids meal with the purchase of an adult entrée. You can mention the Free Joey Meal when dining in, and Outback currently also offers the deal online with the code FREEJOEY.
This is one I like because there isn’t a complicated points system or long list of requirements — buy the adult meal and save on the kids meal.
Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews
Kids 12 and under eat free on Mondays, with up to two free kids meals for each regularly priced adult meal purchased.
If you’re taking more than one child out, this could be one of the better deals on the list.
Tuesday
3 Little Chicks
Tuesday is Kids Eat Free Day at this locally owned Las Vegas restaurant. Children eat free with the purchase of an adult meal.
I especially like including locally owned restaurants on this list. Saving money and supporting a Vegas business is a win in my book.
La Vecindad
Kids eat free every Tuesday, with up to two free kids meals for each regularly priced adult meal purchased. The offer is dine-in only.
Another really strong deal for families with more than one child.
Wednesday
MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub — Summerlin
Kids 12 and under eat free every Wednesday with a purchase of $13 or more.
There’s also a Henderson location offering the same Wednesday special.
For Summerlin families, this is definitely one I’d keep bookmarked.
Smashburger
Kids 12 and under get a free Kids Meal every Wednesday with the purchase of an adult meal that includes an entrée, side and drink. The Kids Eat Free offer is dine-in only.
There are currently participating Las Vegas locations, including Eastern Avenue and the Rio.
IKEA Las Vegas
Here’s an easy excuse for an IKEA trip.
IKEA Family members can get free kids meals on Wednesdays at the IKEA Swedish Restaurant through August 26, 2026. IKEA Family membership is free.
Thursday
There aren’t as many Thursday-only Kids Eat Free deals right now, but there are several everyday deals you can use on Thursdays.
Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop
Capriotti’s Rewards members can get a free kids grilled cheese with the purchase of each adult entrée — every day.
With so many Capriotti’s locations around Las Vegas, this is an easy one to remember when you don’t feel like cooking.
Fogo de Chão — Las Vegas
Children 6 and under dine free with the Full Churrasco Experience, while children ages 7–12 dine for half price.
This isn’t the cheapest adult meal on this list, but if you’re already planning a nicer family dinner, the children’s pricing can make a noticeable difference.
The Buffet at Excalibur
One child eats free with each adult meal purchased at the Excalibur Buffet. MGM currently lists children 10 and under as eligible for its Kids Eat Free offer.
For a Strip buffet, that’s a deal worth knowing about.
Friday
Friday doesn’t give us many Friday-only deals either, so these are good ongoing options when everyone wants to go out at the end of the week.
TAP Sports Bar at MGM Grand
Kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal, with one free child’s meal for each adult meal purchased. MGM lists children 10 and under for its Kids Eat Free program.
Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop
Rewards members can receive a free kids grilled cheese with each adult entrée purchased, and the offer is available every day.
Fogo de Chão — Las Vegas
Children 6 and under dine free, and children 7–12 receive 50% off the Full Churrasco Experience.
Weekend
Weekends are usually when our family is most tempted to eat out — and unfortunately, they’re also when it’s easiest to spend way more than planned.
These are a few deals worth keeping in mind.
The Buffet at Excalibur
One child eats free for each adult meal purchased. MGM currently lists children 10 and under as eligible.
The buffet also offers weekend brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
TAP Sports Bar at Excalibur
Kids eat free with an adult meal purchase, with one free child’s meal per adult meal purchased.
This could be a much more manageable way to do a family meal on the Strip without paying Strip prices for everyone.
Bellagio Buffet
Children 5 and under receive complimentary admission, while children ages 6–11 receive 50% off.
It’s not technically a Kids Eat Free deal for every child, but for families with little ones, that savings can add up quickly.
Fogo de Chão — Las Vegas
Children 6 and under dine free, and children ages 7–12 are half price with the Full Churrasco Experience.
What About Denny’s?
Denny’s does still have a Kids Eat Free program, but I wouldn’t plan your dinner around a specific day without checking your location first.
Denny’s currently says participating restaurants offer up to two free kids entrées with the purchase of one adult entrée of $6 or more, but the days and participation vary by restaurant. The offer is dine-in only.
There are quite a few Denny’s locations around Las Vegas, so check with the restaurant you’re planning to visit before you go.
A Quick Mom-to-Mom Reminder Before You Go
I love a good Kids Eat Free deal, but nothing ruins the savings faster than getting everyone into the car, driving across town and finding out the promotion changed last week.
Click the restaurant link or call your location before you go.
Also check the fine print. Some deals require:
- A certain dollar amount for the adult meal
- Rewards membership
- Dine-in only
- A specific age
- One free meal per adult
- A participating location
A five-minute check before leaving can save both money and the “But you said my dinner was free!” conversation in the parking lot.
And if you find a Las Vegas Kids Eat Free deal that isn’t on this list, let me know. I’m always looking for another way to make eating out with the family a little easier on the budget.
