Vegan Eateries in Las Vegas

For Las Vegas locals, choosing a vegan lifestyle doesn't force you to surrender flavor, convenience or your favorite dining experiences. If you have a fondness for fine dining, have a preferred ethnic cuisine or like to indulge in unique culinary experiences, like raw and living foods, Las Vegas vegan options are abundant and accessible!

The Strip

Thanks to fellow vegan Steve Wynn's conversion to an animal-free diet, there are always delicious vegan buffet items at the Wynn and Encore buffets. Most of the restaurants in both properties also take care to prepare vegan options for those vegans who want the experience of buffet dining. Botero at the Wynn has a vegan tasting menu that has received glowing reviews time and time again. Other restaurants on the Strip with tasty vegan fare include: Sensi and Yellowtail at the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay's RM Seafood and Border Grill, and Canaletto and the Grand Luxe Café located inside the The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino.

Ethnic Cuisine

Las Vegas has our very own Vegan Chef, Chef Mayra. Chef Mayra is well known for her vegan cooking classes, vegan radio show, and now—for her very own vegan restaurant, Pura Vida Café Bakery and Bystro. Chef Mayra concocts to-die-for, Latin-inspired cuisine that tastes so flavorful you would never think of her food as "vegan", only as deliciosio!

For Indian food lovers, Mint Indian Bistro has vegetarian, vegan and even gluten-free options that smell, taste and look amazing. The Samosa Factory is another Indian cuisine favorite that is dedicated to healthy eating. The Samosa Factory calls themselves "the original healthy Indian restaurant" of Las Vegas and offers a tantalizing array of vegan and vegetarian delights guaranteed to have you returning for more. Paymon's Mediterranean Cuisine provides vegan dishes, such as the falafel pita, that will satisfy any vegan's craving for delicious ethnic cuisine.

Sweet Tooth

Yes, Vegans are people too; and although living a vegan lifestyle demands discipline, it doesn't mean that vegans don't want to indulge in the sweet deliciousness of desert like everyone else! To satisfy a vegan sweet tooth, there is no place more recommended by the Las Vegas Vegan community then The Red Velvet Café. Chef Aneesha knows that desert doesn't have to be synonymous with unhealthy and has created the most succulent healthy recipes for sweet treats and wonderful drinks. You would never know it to taste her cookies or cakes, but they are absent of unnecessary fats and sugars. Guilt free dessert is possible! For the vegan with a hectic schedule, they even deliver.

Vegan on the Run

Being Vegan isn't the most convenient of eating choices. The extra time and care it takes to find cruelty-free ingredients and prepared foods can sometimes seem overwhelming. But there are options for the vegan on the run. Whole Foods Market offers a fresh salad bar and hot food buffet at their grocery store locations. This makes a quick bite for lunch during a busy work day easy; since they offer multiple vegan combinations and ingredients, fresh and fast. Raw Food Café is another option to grab a quick dinner to take home after a long day, when going home to cook for yourself or a hungry household requires energy that you just don't have. Salads, wraps, pizzas, smoothies, fresh juices and entrees are prepared quickly for an effortless vegan spread with plenty of choices to please the entire family. Don't forget to ask about the vegan soup of the day!

While it may take extra effort to find foods that are vegan-friendly, Las Vegas vegans do not have to sacrifice flavor, their favorite cuisines, or their favorite dining experiences.
