LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The annual Greek Food Festival Fires up in its 50th year at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Las Vegas.

"You’re going to get a belly full of food for a really great value," said Parish Board Member John Koutsulis. "Not only are you going to eat, you’ll get a really good show."
