You can eat well as a vegan in Las Vegas, but the fully plant-based restaurants are few, and several that older guides still recommend have closed. This guide sticks to places whose own websites we checked in September 2026, then covers how to eat vegan everywhere else: at Strip restaurants, buffets and on a budget.

A note on prices and menus: menus change often, so we don't quote dish prices. Check the restaurant's own site or call before you go, especially for hours.

Crossroads Kitchen (Resorts World)

Chef Tal Ronnen's Crossroads Kitchen started in Los Angeles; its Las Vegas restaurant is at Resorts World, 3000 S. Las Vegas Blvd. The menu is Mediterranean and entirely plant-based, and the restaurant pitches itself at vegans and meat eaters alike. It's the Strip's obvious choice for a vegan dinner out.

  • Hours: dinner daily, 5–10 p.m.; happy hour Monday to Saturday, 4–5 p.m., in the bar and lounge only.
  • Sunday brunch buffet: 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Sundays. An all-vegan buffet is rare on the Strip; see the restaurant's site for the current price.
  • Reservations: taken through SevenRooms from crossroadslasvegas.com, or call (702) 676-7978. Book ahead for weekend evenings.

Tacotarian

Tacotarian is a Las Vegas-born Mexican restaurant whose menu is entirely plant-based. Its tacos use house-made fillings: seitan for the carne asada and al pastor, chili-braised jackfruit for the barbacoa, plus a birria taco with melted cheese. There are burritos, enchiladas, cauliflower ceviche and fries too.

  • Locations: the Arts District downtown, Blue Diamond Road in the southwest, Henderson, Fort Apache in Summerlin South, and Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood on the Strip.
  • Why go: it's the most convenient fully vegan meal for Strip visitors, and the Arts District branch is handy for a night downtown.
  • Hours: vary by location; check eattacotarian.com before you go.

Chef Kenny's Vegan Dim Sum

Chef Kenny's serves vegan dim sum, sushi and other Asian dishes from 5570 W. Flamingo Rd, a short drive west of the Strip. Its site lists takeout hours of 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and 4:30–9:30 p.m. daily, with online ordering for pickup. It's a good choice if you're staying off-Strip or want to eat in your room.

Eating Vegan on the Strip

Beyond Crossroads and Tacotarian, most Strip meals will be at restaurants that aren't vegan but can cook for you. Many resort restaurants mark vegan or vegetarian dishes on their menus, and kitchens at the better restaurants are used to dietary requests.

  • Read the menu first. Resort restaurants publish menus on the resort's website. Look for dishes marked vegan, or dishes that are easy to adapt, such as pasta with a tomato sauce or vegetable sides.
  • Say it when you book. Add "vegan: no meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey" to the reservation notes, and repeat it to your server.
  • Ask about the details. Butter on vegetables, egg in fresh pasta, fish sauce in Asian dishes and dairy in bread are the usual catches.
  • Food halls help. Resort food halls have many counters in one place, so a group with different diets can all find something.

Older guides often recommend a "Wynn vegan buffet" or vegan menus at every Wynn restaurant. Wynn's dining pages don't currently mention vegan menus, so don't count on it; ask the restaurant when you book.

Buffets

Apart from Crossroads' Sunday brunch buffet, Las Vegas buffets are not vegan, and whether one is worth the price depends on how much of it you can eat. Salads, fruit, grains, vegetable sides and some Asian and Mediterranean dishes are usually safe bets, but labels vary. Ask the cooks at each station, since dressings, breads and sauces often contain dairy or egg.

Buffet prices change by day and season, so check the buffet's own page. See our Las Vegas buffets guide for which ones are open.

Off the Strip and Chinatown

Spring Mountain Road's Chinatown, just west of the Strip, has the widest spread of Asian restaurants in town. Buddhist vegetarian restaurants there, and hot pot and noodle places across the area, often have tofu and mock-meat dishes. Restaurants in the area open and close often, so use a current listing and check that a place is still open before you drive over. Confirm whether a "vegetarian" dish is also vegan, as egg and dairy turn up.

Downtown's Arts District has Tacotarian and a range of independent cafés and restaurants, and makes an easy evening together with Fremont Street.

Vegan on a Budget

  • Tacotarian is counter service, so it's an inexpensive fully vegan meal, and one branch is on the Strip.
  • Supermarkets: Whole Foods Market, Sprouts and Trader Joe's all have stores in the valley with vegan prepared foods. Stock up on breakfast and snacks if your room has a fridge.
  • Asian grocers: the Chinatown supermarkets carry tofu, noodles and mock meats.
  • Happy hour: Crossroads' bar and lounge has a 4–5 p.m. happy hour Monday to Saturday.

Tips for Eating Vegan in Las Vegas

  • Use a vegan-finder app. Apps that list vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants are the quickest way to check what is open near you now.
  • Check that a place is still open. Several vegan restaurants that older guides recommend have closed. A restaurant's own website, or a call, is the best check.
  • Book Crossroads early for Friday and Saturday nights and the Sunday brunch buffet.
  • Plan your transport. Chinatown and most independent vegan spots are a short rideshare from the Strip, not a walk.
