The Triple George Grill located in the Downtown Grand Las Vegas is celebrating it's anniversary. In honor of 17 years of service, they're marking the occasion by giving away free food. But there's a catch. You have to be named George or Jorge. If you are lucky enough to bear this moniker, can I borrow your ID? Kidding. But if George or Jorge is your name, you might want to make your way downtown sometime this month. Throughout August, the Triple George Grill will give away free dishes and meals to anyone who shares their name. And these dishes look amazing. Seriously. I spent less than a minute on Triple George Grill's website and found myself drooling. We're talking about mouth-watering steaks, seafood, lamb and more. Some of their specialties include Seared Maine Sea Scallops, New Zealand Roast Lamb Chops, Bison Osso Buco, the list goes on. This isn't what we're used to when we think of free in Las Vegas. This is award-winning dining here, people. I've never been so angry my name wasn't George.

If you're not a surf or turf kind of person, The Triple George Grill also has pastas, chicken pot pies and more...they have a lunch, dinner and happy hour menu. They have a plethora of vegan dishes on their sides menu. And if you are a George or a Jorge, you can indulge in these specialty menus during August, courtesy of the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Lunch Specials: Single George: A George Lunch of a half sandwich, choice of side, choice of soup or salad, a dessert bite and a nonalcoholic drink will be offered to Georges and Jorges dining solo or in a party with folks differently named. Double George: Two free George Lunches will be offered to parties with two customers named George or Jorge. Triple George: Parties with three Georges or Jorges will receive three free George Lunches, plus a choice of crab cake, shrimp cocktail or fried calamari, and a free bottle of sparkling or still water.

Dinner Specials: Single Georges or Jorges (or parties with only one) will receive a free crab cake, shrimp cocktail or fried calamari appetizer with purchase of an entrée. Double George:  Parties with a duo of Georges or Jorges will receive a choice of two free appetizers (crab cake, shrimp cocktail, fried calamari) paired with two classically prepared martinis, with purchase of two entrées. Triple George: Parties with a trifecta of Georges or Jorges will receive a choice of three free appetizers (crab cake, shrimp cocktail, fried calamari), three martinis and a 64-ounce tomahawk rib chop to share.

If your name is NOT George or Jorge, you're not eating free in Las Vegas this month, but they still have some deals for you for August. But seriously, deal or not. This is definitely a place worth checking out. But just curious....is it too late to change my name? Asking for a friend...
