It took them long enough, but as of 2021 Vegas strip properties are finally making more than a token effort to accommodate vegetarians and vegans. So, you won't be pulling your hair out to find something to eat like you would before, but I'll still call out some of the better offerings here. As always, the best stuff is off-strip.
Completely vegan & vegetarian restaurants
Strip
Smash Me Baby • at the Strat tower
Burgers / junk food.
Crossroads Kitchen • at Resorts World (3000 S. Las Vegas Blvd.)
Vegan fine dining. The first only veg*n restaurant on the strip. Opened 5/31/22. They didn't bother to post the menu to the website. They have a vegan foie gras. Who's the target audience for that? "I would never eat something as cruel as force-fed goose! But I want to eat something that tastes exactly like that kind of cruelty."
Tacotarian • at Planet Hollywood (in the Miracle Mile mall, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. S.)
It’s worth staying near this part of the Strip just to have easy access to Tacotarian.
Downtown
Tacotarian • 1130 S. Casino Center Blvd. (about halfway between the Strat tower and the downtown casinos)
My wife almost cried when she heard about this place.
Elsewhere
Blackout • 3871 S. Valley View Blvd, 1.5 miles west of the strip
A “dine in the dark” concept. Fine dining /
expensive. They choose your food, you don’t. Offerings
are reportedly 100% vegan, which they don’t bother to mention
anywhere on their website.
The Modern Vegan • 700 E. Naples (2 miles east of the Strip, from Planet Hollywood) • (702) 755-8127
Down 2 Earth • (2 miles S. of Mandalay Bay in Town Square Shopping Center)

Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum • (2.5 miles west of the Strip; catch the #202 bus on Flamingo)
Basil Vegan Thai & Sushi • (500 E. Windmill Lane • 5 miles SE of the Strip from Mandalay Bay)
Govinda’s
(Indian) • 8825
Escondido St. (6.5 miles SE of the Strip, from Mandalay Bay)
Tarantino’s

Truly veggie-friendly restaurants
These are places with lots of and/or exceptional vegetarian offerings. I don't list a place just because they have a token veggie burger or something. The list is roughly in order from North to South. My Vegas Strip Map will help you get oriented. I also made a special Google map of Indian lunch buffets.
On the strip
| Nearest Casino | Restaurant | Details |
| Encore | Divine Dosa & Biryani | Excellent and affordable South Indian fare, with tons of
veg*n options. Across from Encore in the Gold Key Shops strip mall • 3049 Las Vegas Blvd. S, |
| Fashion Show Mall |
OPA! of Greece |
Wraps, falafel, hummus, chickpea salad. • In the Fashion
Show Mall 3200 Las Vegas Blvd |
| Fashion Show Mall | Ike's Love & Sandwiches | Several vegan sandwiches, with ingredients like vegan meatballs, turkey, and chicken; artichoke hearts, avocado, and mushrooms. |
| Venetian | Brera Osteria | Has a vegan menu. Inside the Venetian. |
| Venetian | various | The Venetian took the time to detail the vegan options at its various restaurants. Like everything at the Venetian, expect to pay a lot. |
| Caesars Palace | True Food Kitchen | Several vegan options, including appetizers, a bowl, and a
burger, but no vegan entrées. in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace • 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. S. |
| Planet Hollywood | P. F. Chang’s | Chinese. Menu has a vegetarian section with five
separate entrées. Also has five veggie sides and four
appetizers. Everything on the menu that's vegetarian is
denoted with a special mark. And brown rice is
available instead of white! Inside Planet Hollywood. |
| Planet Hollywood | Nacho Daddy | A whopping 13 vegan items on the menu. That’s how it’s
done. In the Miracle Mile Mall. |
Near the Strip (listed from North to South)
Komol (Thai) • 953 E. Sahara Ave (0.75 mi. E. of the Strip) • 702-731-6542, 11am-10pm x7
Komol has a generous vegan and vegetarian sections on its menu. Vegetarians used to having to pick the one veggie item at a restaurant will be overwhelmed with the choices here. The atmosphere is also nice and the food is satisfying. A warning, I got one of the dinner sets (#3, I think) and it came with a soup that was mostly oil. It looked like they used four parts oil and one part water. The waiter noticed I didn't eat it and he graciously offered to bring me a normal soup, which I was happy to accept. Note that Namaste Indian (below) is in the same shopping center.
Mount Everest India Cuisine • 3641 Sahara @ Rainbow (2 miles West of the Strip; take the #204 bus from Sahara Casino) • 702-892-0950 • M-F 11am-9pm
Offers a whopping 18 vegetarian items on their menu.
Ronald’s Donuts • 4600 Spring Mountain Road (1.5 miles West of the Strip, near Arville St.), 702-873-1032
If you're not a veg*n for health reasons, you'll love this place, since you can't get more junk food than this. Most of the donuts and pastries here are vegan, and are on two completely separate shelves from the non-vegan stuff. Note that they tend to close early, like around 4pm, and 2pm on Sundays.
India Palace • 505 E. Twain Ave (1 mile E. of the Strip; on Spring Mtn./Sands/Twain, which is all the same street. Get on the #203 bus on Spring Mtn. or Sands. It runs about every 30 mins. and gets there in 5 mins.) • 702-796-4177
The vegetarian section of their menu boasts a whopping
17 vegetarian entrées, not even counting the veggie options on the
South Indian part of their menu like dosas.
Mint Indian Bistro ★★★★★ • 730 E. Flamingo (1.5 miles E. of the Strip; catch the #202 bus on Flamingo) • 702-894-9334
Editor's pick! Their menu explicitly lists seven vegan entrées, as well as an additional two more vegetarian entrées. They also have vegan naan (!), and explicitly list which appetizers and breads are vegan. Wow! Why can't all restaurants be like this? But I'm not done yet: their lunch buffet is almost entirely vegetarian and has several explicitly-labeled vegan items. Eighteen thumbs up.
Ferraro’s Ristorante • 5570 W. Flamingo Rd.
Vegan section of the menu has 13 (!) items. Entrées start at $22 (in 2025).
Abyssinia
Ethiopian • 4780 W. Tropicana (next to Orleans casino;
take the #201
Tropicana bus) 702-220-5304 • Open 11am-4am daily
One of the better Ethiopian restaurants, with a large vegetarian section, and my go-to for Ethiopian since Cottage Café closed. Get the Veggie Combo (pictured).
Tamba • 6671 S. Las Vegas Blvd S. (1.5 miles south of Mandalay Bay)
Indian plus some Chinese. Used to be in the Hawaiian Marketplace. Entrées are around $28 (2025).
South
Whole Foods Market • 6689 Las Vegas Blvd. S (2 miles S. of Mandalay Bay in Town Square Shopping Center • Take the Deuce or Strip Xpress bus) 702-589-7711, 8am-10pm every day)
Large organic / natural foods grocery store.
West
Paymon's
Mediterranean Café • 8380
W. Sahara Ave. (6 miles W. of the
Strip), 702-804-0293
Offering Greek, Italian, Persian, Middle Eastern, and Indian fare, much of it vegetarian, and much of that vegan. The vegan & vegetarian items are clearly identified on the menu, leaving out the guesswork. A 30-time “Best of Las Vegas Winner” from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Out of Business
Bombay Indian (north of Wynn) • Chaga Root (Closed 2025 • E. Flamingo Rd) • Cottage Café Paradise Rd. • Gandhi India’s Cuisine closed 2017 • Paradise Rd. Gaylord’s Indian In the Rio • Closed 2013 • India Oven + India Masala Closed 2021 • E.

Rainbow • Closed 2024 after 40 yrs
Buffets
In 2011, I ate at every single buffet on the Strip with the intention of reviewing them, and to use the experience to try to lobby buffet managers to offer more veg*n food and to label what's veg*n and what isn't. Short summary: They were all bad (few options and nearly nothing labeled), and I didn't get around to the reviewing or lobbying.
Fast forward ten years, and there's been some improvement.
- Caesars, which claims to have the largest buffet at 25,000 square feet, around 2021 added over a hundred vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and they're labeled as such. (You might be disturbed by the entire, dead pig that's laid out on the line, though, including the head.)
- Wynn has a decent number of vegan options, which are labeled.
- The rest? It's gonna be a while before I can visit all the buffets again to see how accommodating they are, but it seems that the trend is good.
Lesser offerings
These are places with just some token veg*n options on the menu, or are just fast food.
On the Strip
listed from North to South
| Circus Circus (across the street from Circus Circus at 322 W. Sahara; cross Sahara to get to it) | Capriotti's
Sandwich Shop has a vegetarian section on its
menu, with four sandwiches. |
| Fashion Show Mall 3200 S. Las Vegas Blvd. | • California Pizza Kitchen. Four
veggie pizzas and several veggie pastas. Vegans note
that the stuffed ravioli has cheese. • Chipotle (burritos) • Ike's Love & Sandwiches. Several vegan sandwiches, with ingredients like vegan meatballs, turkey, and chicken; artichoke hearts, avocado, and mushrooms. • Johnny Rockets (one veggie burger) • OPA! of Greece (wraps, falafel, hummus, chickpea salad) • Solo Qui (pasta with marinara sauce, panini). x Panda Express: Nothing is vegetarian; every seemingly-vegetarian item has secret meat and/or fish ingredients. |
| Treasure Island / Venetian | • Subway across the street from Treasure Island,
next to the Venetian. • Beware of the Grand Lux Café which perverts things you'd expect to be vegetarian. (e.g., the Crispy Sesame Tofu has oyster sauce, that fact isn't disclosed on the menu, and not all of the staff are even aware of this and might give you the wrong answer if you ask about it). |
| Casino Royale | Subway inside the Casino Royale. |
| Harrah's | Chipotle (burritos) between Harrah's and Casino Royale |
| Horseshoe | Subway |
| Planet Hollywood | HARMON SHOPPING CENTER: • Subway and Taco Bell MIRACLE MILE MALL: • Tacotarian. This is a full-on vegan restaurant, not a "lesser offering", but since I'm listing Miracle Mile options, I'm including it here too. • Nacho Daddy. With 13 vegan items on the menu, this isn't a lesser offering, either. |
| New York New York Food Court across the street from NY NY, 24 hours |
In the Showcase Mall food
court across from NY NY, there’s a Subway and a Taco
Bell Cantina (a little upscale from a regular Taco
Bell). (There’s also a Panda Express, which looks
vegetarian, but has secret meat and fish ingredients). In the NY NY casino itself, there’s Chin Chin, which has three vegan entrées on the menu, so labeled. (Inexplicably, "Chin Chin" is the child's word for "penis" in Japanese.) |
| MGM Grand |
Subway Sandwiches in the Grand Canyon Shops next
to the MGM Grand. |
| Mandalay Bay | The Border Grill has Portabello Mushroom Mulitas ("grilled marinated mushrooms layered with black beans, roasted peppers, and pickled onions served with roasted tomato sauce braised greens, and guacamole"). |
Airport
Subway Sandwiches in Terminal C.
Downtown
| El Cortez | Subway |
| Four Queens (Fremont & 3rd) | Subway |
| The Plaza (Fremont & Main) | Subway |
East
Axum Ethiopian Restaurant • 860 E. Twain (2 mi. E. of the Strip), 702-640-9440If you want Ethiopian, Abyssinia (above) is a much better choice. Axum is in a not-so-great neighborhood, and the atmosphere and food are below average. I've never had drier, nastier injera in my life.
