Las Vegas is a steak-and-seafood town, but vegetarians and vegans eat well here if they know where to go. There is one headline plant-based restaurant on the Strip, a handful of dedicated vegan spots off it, and many mainstream restaurants that will adapt dishes if you ask.

Restaurants open and close fast in Las Vegas, and several places named in older guides could not be confirmed as open. Everything recommended below was checked on the restaurant's own website in September 2026. Check hours before you go; they change.

Crossroads Kitchen (Resorts World): The Plant-Based Splurge

The Strip's best-known fully plant-based restaurant. Chef Tal Ronnen opened the original in Los Angeles in 2013 and brought it to Resorts World Las Vegas in May 2022. The menu is Mediterranean and seasonal, and the room is set up for a proper night out; the restaurant says many guests don't realize the food is plant-based.

  • Where: Resorts World, 3000 S Las Vegas Blvd, on the north Strip.
  • Hours: dinner daily 5–10 p.m.; a Sunday brunch buffet 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; bar-only happy hour Monday to Saturday 4–5 p.m.
  • Recognition: the restaurant cites 2024 VegNews awards for Best Restaurant, Best Fine Dining and Best Chef in America.
  • Book ahead for weekend dinners and Sunday brunch.

Looking for a vegan buffet? Crossroads' Sunday brunch buffet is a fully plant-based buffet on the Strip. Las Vegas has to an all-plant-based buffet on the Strip. The big resort buffets serve everyone, with varying numbers of vegetarian and vegan dishes; see our buffets guide.

Local Plant-Based Spots

Plant Power Fast Food (northwest)

A vegan fast-food chain from California, with burgers, fries and shakes, at 7090 W. Craig Rd, Suite 120. It opens daily 8 a.m.–9 p.m., with breakfast until noon. Good for a quick, familiar meal if you have a car or are staying in the northwest.

Chef Kenny's Vegan Dim Sum (west of the Strip)

Vegan dim sum and Asian dishes at 5570 W Flamingo Rd, open daily 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and 4:30–9:30 p.m. It's a short drive west of the Strip, past the Rio and Palms.

Greens & Proteins (three locations)

Not vegetarian, but useful: a health-focused menu of salads, wraps, bowls, smoothies and juices with plenty of plant-based options. Locations are on S. Eastern Ave (southeast), W Flamingo Rd (west) and E Bonneville Ave downtown. It also serves meat and fish, so check each dish.

Finding more

Las Vegas's Chinatown along Spring Mountain Road, just west of the Strip, has a long run of Asian restaurants where tofu, vegetable and noodle dishes are easy to find. The Arts District and downtown also have casual places with vegetarian menus. Our restaurant directory lists restaurants across the valley (from OpenStreetMap), and our vegan restaurants guide goes deeper on plant-based spots.

Eating Vegetarian or Vegan on the Strip

Most visitors eat where they're staying, and every major resort has vegetarian options. Vegan meals take a little more planning.

  • Read the menu online first. Resort restaurant pages usually post menus, often with vegetarian and vegan dishes marked.
  • Tell the server. Fine-dining kitchens in the resorts are used to dietary requests and can often adapt a dish or build a plate from sides.
  • Pick cuisines that make it easy: Italian (pasta and pizza), Mexican (beans, rice, vegetables), Indian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese menus all offer natural vegetarian choices.
  • Food halls and food courts give a group the most choice in one place.
  • Watch for hidden animal products: broths, butter, cheese, fish sauce and lard in beans. Ask if you're strict.

Breakfast and Brunch

  • Crossroads Kitchen runs the plant-based Sunday brunch buffet (10 a.m.–2 p.m.).
  • Plant Power Fast Food serves breakfast from 8 a.m. to noon.
  • Resort cafés almost always have oatmeal, fruit, toast, potatoes and egg dishes for vegetarians; ask about vegan spreads and plant milks.

See our brunch guide for more.

Groceries and Self-Catering

If you have a car, a supermarket run for breakfast items, snacks and fruit makes a vegetarian or vegan trip cheaper and easier, especially if your room has a fridge. Farmers markets around the valley are another source of fresh produce; see our farmers markets guide.

Quick Tips

  • Book Crossroads early if it's your one big dinner.
  • Check hours on the day: small local restaurants change them often.
  • Plan transport: most dedicated vegan spots are off the Strip, so allow for a rideshare or drive.
  • Say "vegan", not just "vegetarian", if you avoid dairy and eggs; kitchens treat them differently.
